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+ColorThem... http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Extension/Soft+Blue+ColorThem... http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Extension/Soft+Blue+ColorThem...
Otherwise my vote would go for the blue proposition
Jerome
