Hi Jonathan,
Regarding the Skin testing - one solution would be to test it on incubator (
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/) as long as you don't broke everything there
(especially the Improvements space) :) but I guess a skin should be
harmless, right? ;)
Now some problems:
After I logged in I really don't know what button to press in order to edit
the Main.WebHome.
Regarding the buttons (Preview, Save&View, Save&Continue, etc.), I see that
you choose to align them right. Our standard is vertical-aligned-left
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/VerticalForms
I notice this on login page and on editing pages. This is easily fixable
from CSS (.buttons class).
You stripped all the CSS, so there will be lots of problems in lots of
places. Maybe you should put back all the style dependencies.
- You don't have any style for error boxes (
http://23.21.87.183:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/OfficeImporter?&parent=XW…)min).
The style for info is not noticeable enough(looks very similar to table
headers). The style used for warning is better suited for error macro.
- The page -> Share by email feature is style-less.
- .xform style for .xHint are gone (you can observe this when creating
pages/spaces)
- Administration -> ColorThemes can't be edited anymore in inline mode (the
JS doesn't work)
- Administration -> Panel Wizard is broken too
- Administration -> Users, Groups (adding, editing, deleting users/groups)
doesn't work
- Lots of sections in Administration are missing the styles + some portion
of settings are displayed after the administration menu ends (Chrome) (you
need to scroll in order to see all the options, see Administration ->
Applications -> WYSIWYG Editor settings )
- Problems with Blog posts in view and edit modes
- Pages with few content look kind of strange :)
http://23.21.87.183:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/TestPage2 or
http://23.21.87.183:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/CC
- Some more left-right margins on content would be nice (looks crowded).
25px+ would work better than 10px margins on #xo-content
- I like the Administration breadcrumb :p
- I like how some forms look in edit mode :) like editing the Profile,
although there are some issues with the sections H1
Restyling the whole wiki is a big task and there are lots of things to do,
but until now looks great.
Thanks for your work,
Caty

now I am exploring creating a xar to create a page where there can be
options-- right now for the colors, like you did with the "fluid" option
on
lyrebird.
As I am separating the codes, i am wondering how far i should separate the
core? Should i just leave enough css that there is a sidebar, the header,
and the main content area?
Yes it sounds good.
I agree it's difficult to arbitrate between what is "core" and what is
style. I would tend to think that the core skin needs to have proper
positionning, proper margins etc. and a good set of neutral defaults for
colors, fonts and the rest. Then the actual xorange CSS overrides those
defaults.
This is an area I can help you test, I actually have already started
implementing my own skin that derives xorange.
Thank you,
Jonathan Solichin
