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.
You need to define a date when you can make proposals and another date
for when we need to have finalized the vote. If those first 2 steps
get us too far in the future we won't be able to implement it.
The proposals should be coming in this afternoon.
I think we can't afford more than 1 week of discussion / vote (vote closed
by Friday, August 14 at the latest) if we want to have enough time for the
skin's implementation.
Guillaume
Thanks
-Vincent
