----------------------------------
Started a new wiki for documenting (1) how to switch between existing skins and
(2) how to create your own skin.

> The OPSUI is an excellent tool for getting a quick overview of an OODT FM,
> WM, RM, and PCS installation. In fact, this tool is being used in many JPL
> projects to view realtime processing jobs.
> There are a couple of things that can be improved however:
> 1. The current theme, although VERY cool looking, can be very hard to
> see/read on low-contrast screens or low-light environments. In an ops
> environment, I think if the default theme/style was black text on white
> background, it would keep things simple and readable. Users can then
> customize the theme as they seek fit, but the default should always be the
> most readable. Of course, I want to ensure the OPSUI doesn't look too dull.
> Thus, I propose we follow the theming style of the OODT website itself, which
> uses a white/navy_blue/black theme that is quite readable yet presentable.
> 2. The current OPSUI logos [1] and [2] are pretty slick. However, again, they
> can be hard to read in low-light environments or if the screen being
> displayed upon does not have good contrast. What's more, the current logos
> look very different than standardized OODT logos we have displayed on our
> website/wiki etc. I propose we develop a more standardized OPSUI logo that
> reuses our OODT logo found on our website, and has a high contrast factor.
> 3. The workflow monitor page's workflow event table is currently
> disproportional to the rest of the webpage, and again, has a low-contrast
> factor. There's a couple of style updates that would be really useful:
> smaller font, header row differentiation in terms of color, and better
> spacing.
> 4. Currently there is no padding between the edge of the browser window and
> the opsui components. We should add some padding to make it look better and
> more readable.
> 5. I propose we model the OPSUI look/feel against the OODT website. Thus, we
> should fix the current OPSUI's font size, font color, link color, text size
> etc. to look like the website.
> The above points will help increase the readability/usability of the OPSUI
> webapp. We can then build on more features to make it even more awesome.
