The name 'colortheme' for the dashboard style is inappropriate. All dashboard styles should use the colortheme, so there's nothing special about this one. Just because the boxes look like the panels is not a good enough reason to call the style "colortheme", because other styles can use the colortheme in a consistent way and would deserve the name "colortheme" just as much as this one. the plain dashboard style uses it already, so obviously the name is totally irrelevant. And not only gadgets, but all the other components use the colortheme. A first suggestion is to name this style "panels", because that's what it does: it makes the dashboard boxes look like panels. Yes, I know panels are supposed to disappear soon, but the term "panel" is not bound to the xwiki-application-panels module, a "panel" is "sheet that forms a distinct (usually flat and rectangular) section or component of something". And even if the panels application will be deprecated soon, the term is still valid. That's what those are, panels, panes. And another reason why "panel" is a better term: the style uses the colors for the panels: panelHeaderBackgroundColor, panelHeaderTextColor, panelBackgroundColor. Again, even if the current panels technology will get deprecated, the color theme names will be the same, and visually we will have the same thing, a content column with "panels" on the side, no matter how those panels are implemented. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
