David Crossley commented on FOR-1255:
-------------------------------------

The "scales" skin was started around r348891 2005-11-25 as a copy of the "pelt" 
skin.

When adding enhancements to the pelt skin we have tried to also add them to 
"scales", but it seems to be out of synchronisation now. It would be good to 
consolidate, and would also mean that we have less to maintain.

Apart from the "showonlywhenselected" menu enhancement, i am not sure if 
anything else was added to Forrest. (Perhaps Ferdinand has some other local 
changes that could be committed.)

The following are some of the email discussions around that time. These also 
discuss some potential enhancements, and even provide some code examples.

That [3] also links to issue FOR-91(flat navigation) which has some other ideas 
and links to mail discussion at http://marc.info/?t=107007134500002
