Re: [xwiki-devs] [UX] Converge design of Mail Archive app with xwiki / flamingo / forum app

Hello, I was having a look at the proposal for Forum app design with Flamingo [1][2], and I thought it could be good to start thinking about the same for the Mail Archive app. Yes, I'm still working on this btw :) Would it be possible for me to re-use some graphical elements from this proposal ? (buttons icons, the grey icons around the boxes corners, this sort of thing). Would it be possible to somehow get close to this design even without Flamingo skin (so with colibri), as flamingo is still not a final skin ? Also I remember there were some discussions about it, but how should one proceed, keep the same app and maintain both colibri/flamingo look with distinct css (and how to switch between both ? detect the current skin of the wiki ?). Or just make a "flamingo" version that would not look too bad with colibri ? Would the ColorTheme variables still be available for a parsed ssx ? To be honest I like the proposal (and a forum app UI is the closest you could get to a mail archive app UI), except maybe for the topics / topics answers, if there's a large number of answers (occurs often with a mail thread), maybe it's not enough compact / paginated. In my most crazy dreams, the forum app and the mail archive app could share the same UI with small variants, but fed with different objects / data sources - seems very nice idea, but would be quite complex to achieve. I'm just trying to prepare myself only, because I will not work on this yet - I'm currently bugfixing and finishing some UIs. Maybe I should wait for the 6.x cycle (and flamingo) to be more mature.
