[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Improve the Ratings UI
Hello devs, While I was trying the Ratings UI in the Iceberg color theme, I noticed that the golden images of the stars might just not fit in any environment. My main issue is that I am not able to change the stars' colors and it's a pain to provide different images to override the existing ones. I was looking for a solution to fit in both Silk(default) and Font Awesome icon themes, using the Icon Service Renderer, but for the Silk's case the issue will be the same since the output would be also represented by images. So I would like to refactor the Ratings UI using the Font Awesome which will provide the needed flexibility in changing the font and colors of the icons. Thanks, Alex
It all depends on how you implement it. You could provide some fallbacks: either an image fallback or some content char fallback: use a generic star char, like https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2605/index.htm . The fallback can be put on (.your-rating-class img) selector, since Silk generates images. Thanks, Caty On Fri, May 4, 2018 at 3:53 PM, Alex Cotiugă <[email protected]> wrote:
