I like it. Actually since we dropped the css support on a contract base
we need a default.css for the viewHelper.xhtml. That is the only reason
why I have not deleted the css stuff out of the contracts.
Something with the above mentioned goals would work great for us right
now. The scale-dev is very nice but I do not have the time to keep the
css in sync with the contracts. The goal for a 0.2 version of the plugin
(I hope to release that before ApacheCon) is not a shiny skin but a
practical, meeting the above mentioned goals.
I am +1 to use your skin as dev version for views this will allow to
concentrate on the contracts and not the css.
Can we use yours? Then I do not have to worry anymore about tweaking the
scale-dev and finally got rid of the css-overhead.
For submitting a skin with view/viewHelper you will need to provide the
following resources (* - required):
a)* default.fv
b)* default.css
c) additional-contracts (*.ft)
Actually I am thinking about changing the 'default' naming to
{skin-name}.fv/css in the matching code, that will enable different
skins more easy.
I like it too, and I'm glad to see that there is some progress that is
visible to end users! I would like to continue to maintain scale-dev but
I have ran into problems with view/viewHelper, namely the lack of a
"getting started" guide. I'm sure that will be fixed after 0.7 is out
and everyone has more time to work on the next-generation features, as
hopefully somebody will also want to work on documentation. For now, I
would be very grateful if somebody (Thorsten ;-)) could point me in the
right direction for getting views working from the HEAD version.
As for the aesthetics, I think that the skin does a good job where it
is, but I would like to see it have more "features" before it reaches
the status of default skin, so in other words I would like to make it
more slick. I particularly like the fact that it renders as intended
across browsers, which is not something that I could say about the
original scale-dev!
Thorsten, I would like to continue to work on scale-dev, so if you can
help me to get off the ground with view/viewHelper I would be more than
happy to write a css patch and touch up the front end. However, it's
great to see an alternative view, and it's even better to see it in
production. Good work!
