[xwiki-devs] [Vote][Proposal] New Skin/ColorTheme Improvements for XE 3.4
Hi, Ludovic suggested we should refresh the Default Color Theme for XE 3.4 with something new. Since (and long before) we dropped support for IE6 and IE7 (XE 3.2) I wanted to add some CSS3 enhancement to our default skin: shadows, gradients, round corners, etc. So this is a good time to make a proposal that integrates some CSS3 (gradients on menus, panels, tabs, buttons, forms; text-shadows; box-shadows; border-radius;) and a new ColorTheme into Colibri skin: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/34Proposal There are 3 directions that can be voted for this proposal: *Var A:* Integrate the proposed Skin improvements and the new ColorTheme into platform Demo at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/WebHome *Var B: *Don't integrate anything in the 3.4 timeframe and wait for a new complete skin in 4.x = Current skin + default ColorTheme (no changes) Demo at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/WebHome *Var C:* Integrate just the new proposed ColorTheme that will replace the current DefaultColorTheme Demo at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/WebHome *Important remarks when making a decision:* *Var B* and *Var C *does not involve any changes, problems or advantages from the current Colibri skin. Advantages for *Var A*: - Tested on IE7, IE8, IE9, Opera 11, Chrome 16, Firefox 8, Safari 5 and works beautifully. - Uses CSS3 declarations that makes the skin more nice (gradients, round corners, shades, etc.) Problems for *Var A*: - The existing ColorThemes (from the ColorThemes space and extensions.xwiki.org) will become deprecated for XE 3.4 since the new skin needs shades for the gradients (this means the existing ColorThemes variables will be either used in ways they were not intended or they will not have all the variables declared). See my previous mail about "[Discussion] Problematic ColorTheme extensibility"<http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/ex6fgou6fl6vjwfr> - The CSS will become even more invalid (right now we have a -moz-border-radius and a word-wrap non valid declarations), but the new code contains 154 declarations for the gradients (covering -moz-linear-gradient, -webkit-gradient, -webkit-linear-gradient, -o-linear-gradient, -ms-linear-gradient, linear-gradient and filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient proprietary declarations). The invalidity comes because the proprietary declarations are not yet W3C standard (and will not ever be a standard). The proposed standard W3C declaration (linear-gradient) is not yet supported consistently and correctly by browsers, but when it will become standard we can remove all the other proprietary declarations. Please cast your vote. Thanks, Caty
From the look perspective VarA is a great step forward. Now I understand the technical issues. Maybe the devs can find some solution to extend the color themes to support this.
Otherwise VarC is also a good step forward. In any case it's great work. The earlier it gets in the product the better. We need this. Ludovic 2011/12/16 Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) <[email protected]>

I have a question regarding VarB : When you say "wait for a new complete skin", you mean something completely different than the proposal in VarA ? If yes, then I would say, let's go for VarA, but do the new skin in 4.x anyway. VarA could then be the "finalized" form of colibri (the moment we say we don't make it evolve anymore except small things/bug fixes). I don't think the problems you mention for VarA are blocker, the already exists in the current state anyway. They are definitely things we should sort out, and if we are working on a new skin, that can be the ideal time. WDYT ? PS: and yes, VarA looks great, it makes the skin much less "aggressive".

Hi, I love VarA, great work! However it's a bit laggy on my computer (when scrolling past the header so that the action bar has to reposition itself the first time, I have a slight lag in FF8.0 on Mac OS X. If that cannot be fixed, I'm a strong +1 for VarC which looks much nicer than our current default skin and doesn't seem to have significant technical drawbacks.

The "lag" you mentioned is VarX independent (present even on a default installation) so shouldn't influence the vote. Thanks, Caty

Indeed. The more I look at VarA, the more I like it. Can't wait to show it during XWiki demos!! Here's my renewed +1 for VarA. Guillaume

Yes, a completely new skin (different layout, etc.).
If yes, then I would say, let's go for VarA, but do the new skin in 4.x anyway.

If you are going on VarA are we going to keep the current ColorThemes (Blue Sky, Bordo, Nature, the current Default Color theme, etc.)? (even if some may look not that nice with non matching gradients or with low contrast combinations?)
PS: and yes, VarA looks great, it makes the skin much less "aggressive".
I'm glad you like it. Thanks, Caty

+1 for Var A. It looks way better than what we have right now and given the fact that we will be able to update the CSS once linear-gradient will consistently be supported by browsers, I think that we should do this step and provide a brighter UI. Raluca.

Hi,
Ludovic suggested we should refresh the Default Color Theme for XE 3.4 with something new. Since (and long before) we dropped support for IE6 and IE7 (XE 3.2) I wanted to add some CSS3 enhancement to our default skin: shadows, gradients, round corners, etc. So this is a good time to make a proposal that integrates some CSS3 (gradients on menus, panels, tabs, buttons, forms; text-shadows; box-shadows; border-radius;) and a new ColorTheme into Colibri skin: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/34Proposal
There are 3 directions that can be voted for this proposal:
*Var A:* Integrate the proposed Skin improvements and the new ColorTheme into platform Demo at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/WebHome
*Var B: *Don't integrate anything in the 3.4 timeframe and wait for a new complete skin in 4.x = Current skin + default ColorTheme (no changes) Demo at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/WebHome
*Var C:* Integrate just the new proposed ColorTheme that will replace the current DefaultColorTheme Demo at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/WebHome
*Important remarks when making a decision:*
*Var B* and *Var C *does not involve any changes, problems or advantages from the current Colibri skin.
Advantages for *Var A*: - Tested on IE7, IE8, IE9, Opera 11, Chrome 16, Firefox 8, Safari 5 and works beautifully. - Uses CSS3 declarations that makes the skin more nice (gradients, round corners, shades, etc.)
Problems for *Var A*: - The existing ColorThemes (from the ColorThemes space and extensions.xwiki.org) will become deprecated for XE 3.4 since the new skin needs shades for the gradients (this means the existing ColorThemes variables will be either used in ways they were not intended or they will not have all the variables declared). See my previous mail about "[Discussion] Problematic ColorTheme extensibility"<http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/ex6fgou6fl6vjwfr> - The CSS will become even more invalid (right now we have a -moz-border-radius and a word-wrap non valid declarations), but the new code contains 154 declarations for the gradients (covering -moz-linear-gradient, -webkit-gradient, -webkit-linear-gradient, -o-linear-gradient, -ms-linear-gradient, linear-gradient and filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient proprietary declarations). The invalidity comes because the proprietary declarations are not yet W3C standard (and will not ever be a standard). The proposed standard W3C declaration (linear-gradient) is not yet supported consistently and correctly by browsers, but when it will become standard we can remove all the other proprietary declarations.
+1 for Var A. It looks way better than what we have right now and given the fact that we will be able to update the CSS once linear-gradient will consistently be supported by browsers, I think that we should do this step and provide a brighter UI.
Raluca.
