This is not UI related stuff. This is not about a new flashy cool skin, but about having a usable and reusable skin. Toucan is much to fragile to fix. The prioritized list of points that need to be addressed is: - Reusable skin, with not so fragile CSS rules (changing something breaks something else right now) and easy to customize parts. Building on top of the Toucan is close to impossible. This is something that our custom development team would really love, and something our users are complaining about. - Usability improvements. While this can be done incrementally inside Toucan, its fragility makes it very hard to introduce such changes. - Bugfixing and ensuring a uniform aspect. Same as above. The fact that we've spent more than a year on stabilizing a skin that is still far from being stable says something to me. And that's not that we should use it more. The scroll problem on Linux is not it's biggest problem, and definitely not the only one. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
