While looking at this picture there's something I need to mention .
Considering my experience there's something to considering when
designing a Trac theme for general purpose use and able to adapt to
different screen resolutions . It is about the mainnav toolbar at the
top . It is a good practice to control the way mainnav items overflow
so as to prevent them from wrapping . If this happens pages don't look
well . I suggest to implement a carousel in there so as to scroll
mainnav items if necessary .
Yes, this was a reason the number of tabs has been kept to such an absolute
minimum (3 items!).
That should be fine to illustrate the initial design using a picture .
Nonetheless in practice as more and more plugins are installed they
may add further mainnav items dynamically . There should be something
in there to «control» their behavior .
I agree with this.. we should expect that:
* some people will want to rearrange the items
* there will be people wanting to add plugins for which we don't
pre-specify a location in the menu system
It would also make sense for anything that scrolls the mainnav items to
know when it doesn't need to be there.
Cheers,
