[xwiki-devs] Update on the work on a new Skin for XE 2.0

Hi Devs, here's a quick update on the current work being undertaken to bring a new skin to life for XWiki 2.0. The aim of this new skin is to provide XE with a fresh / new look & feel for the 2.0 release. The main items, ordered by their priority, are listed here: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/NewSkin It's broken down into 2 sets: hard requirements (XE 2.0 can't ship without meeting them) and soft requirements (we can do them later if needed). Its main aims are: - make it easier for a new wiki user to change the look & feel of the wiki using its own color set - move the action bar closer to the content area and make it scroll with the page (removing the flickering issue in linux) - make it possible to automatically display a page's title when its title field is filled (configuration option) - replace the stripped background images with a plain color background Those items are those that we run into when trying to customize skins and should help users make their wiki look nice more easily. Cati & I will keep you posted about the skin's progress. Guillaume -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype: wikibc Twitter: glerouge http://guillaumelerouge.com/
