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. Thanks -Vincent
