Prakash Udupa commented on TRINIDAD-2120: ----------------------------------------- Reg. -ui-icon issue: In order to accomodate that thermoroller has selectors ending in 'ui-icon' that aren't to be treated like icon, we'd not want to break other apps that ended their selectors with 'ui-icon' because they wanted to be treated like icon. I'm assuming that you are not making this change now... - return (selectorName.endsWith("-icon") || + return ( (selectorName.endsWith("-icon") && !selectorName.equals("ui-icon") && !selectorName.contains(".ui-icon")) || b.t.w. -tr-icon is a good idea, I'm not sure if it is a common requirement to invest time to do that, maybe you can file a bug on JQuery to see if they can change the selector names to not end in 'icon'. Reg. isColor(), I understand one is supposed to parse and return a color and you need a method that just says whether it is a color. But then your method is doing all the parsing that the other method is doing. Duplicate code is a pain on maintenance. I'm suggesting that you just call parseColor() inside of your isColor(), and return true for a successful parse, and false for a failure (inlcudes exception case that you would catch and return false). > Use jQuery ThemeRoller skins with Trinidad > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: TRINIDAD-2120 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-2120 > Project: MyFaces Trinidad > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Skinning > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-core > Reporter: Leonardo Uribe > Assignee: Leonardo Uribe > Attachments: TRINIDAD-2120-1.patch, TRINIDAD-2120-2.patch, > TRINIDAD-2120-4-changes-trinidad-impl-only.patch, cupertino+casablanca.png, > redmond+casablanca-2.png, redmond+casablanca.png, > screenshot-trinidad-cupertino.PNG, screenshot-trinidad-smoothness.PNG, > screenshot-trinidad-sunny.PNG, south-street+casablanca-2.png > > > Here is the original mail from Trasca Virgil: > http://markmail.org/search/?q=themeroller%20trinidad#query:themeroller%20trinidad+page:1+mid:byczdawpyj33zqoy+state:results > Mon, 25 Oct 2010 07:01:25 -0700 > Hi > > I am interested to get better skinning support in Apache MyFaces.

So what can we do? > We can take themeroller themes and generate a skin from trinidad. Trinidad > already has all the pieces of the pluzze (css parser/merger and a cool > skinning api) so we should just use it. > I tried to create a skin in this way: > <skin> > <id>sunny.desktop</id> > <family>sunny</family> > <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id> > > <style-sheet-name>skins/themeroller/sunny/jquery-ui-1.8.14.custom.css</style-sheet-name> > </skin> > <skin-addition> > <skin-id>sunny.desktop</skin-id> > > <style-sheet-name>skins/themeroller/trinidad-theme.css</style-sheet-name> > </skin-addition> > The first stylesheet is the reference to a generated jquery theme and the > addition is the file that does the integration with trinidad. So, ThemeRoller > generates the .css + image files and we just need to provide a reusable .css > file to reuse the css classes. In practice with just one file we can create > 20 or 30 trinidad themes in one move! > Obviously these skins are no match for casablanca theme, and will possibly > have some flaws (the same for any themeroller skin, right?), but I think it > is worth to try it. I'll attach some files here to show how it looks like. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
