Hi devs,
One thing that was neglected in the preparation of 3.0 is a fresh
default color theme for this new release cycle.
What I propose is to use by default a theme similar with the current
xwiki.org themes: dark grey menus and panel headers, and a lively
colored page header. Besides bringing a fresh look to the default
wiki, this combination has the advantage of having been used and
tested on
xwiki.org for several months, so there will be no unpleasant
surprises (like wrong contrasts) coming with this change. Here are two
themes that follow this pattern, both having a stylish gradient as
header image:
- orange:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Extension/Soft+Orange+ColorTheme
- blue:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Extension/Soft+Blue+ColorTheme
My +1 goes for using the orange version as default color theme in 3.0.
I'm definitely +1 for a new default color theme for the 3.0 cycle.
Even if it's not perfect, it's a starting point, and it shows something
fresh for 3.0.
I'm afraid the two themes proposed still have two
strong colors for
menu background color / panel header background color. I think it will
look odd on a dashboard for example.
I'd like to see something less aggressive in this area, WDYT ?
Personally I don't find it too striking. Here's how it looks, and some
alternatives:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Extension/Soft+Blue+ColorThe…
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Extension/Soft+Blue+ColorThe…
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Extension/Soft+Blue+ColorThe…
Otherwise my vote would go for the blue proposition
Jerome
