lyrebird.

As I am separating the codes, i am wondering how far i should separate the
core?  Should i just leave enough css that there is a sidebar, the header,
and the main content area?

Yes it sounds good.

I agree it's difficult to arbitrate between what is "core" and what is style. I would tend to think that the core skin needs to have proper positionning, proper margins etc. and a good set of neutral defaults for colors, fonts and the rest. Then the actual xorange CSS overrides those defaults.

This is an area I can help you test, I actually have already started implementing my own skin that derives xorange.


Thank you,

Hi Jerome,

All the advise you mentioned should now be fixed on github. Ajax search
is now implemented.

I will be working on color themes, while still trying to ensure
consistency through out XE UI.

Thank you again!

Hello Friends,

As you may or may not know, I have been working on a responsive skin for
XWiki for GSOC (http://23.21.87.183:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome).
As I continue to add further details and refinements into the skin, I would
like to kindly ask for your help in doing so. In order to make sure that I
did not miss anything and the skin is as complete as possible, I would like
to, if possible, request a XAR of an existing wiki (or complex pages) so
that I may see the result of implementing the skin on more than the default
wiki data.

If this is not a possible, I would like to still enlist your help in
testing some basic/your favorite functionality/features of xwiki. There are
several ways to do this:

    - By downloading the current skin and testing it on your XWiki:
    https://github.com/jssolichin/xo5
    - By playing around with the live instance (uses default admin
    user/password): http://23.21.87.183:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome
    - By letting me know of your favorite applications (so that I may
    look into implementing them)

Anything you want to note is fine. Bug and feature request are both
welcome, as I think communal ideas are often better than one. Even if you
did not have a chance to play too much with the skin, go ahead and let me
know what you think I should check on (based on your experience) and/or
give me any suggestions that may have come up while reading this.
Technicality permitting, I will check myself.

Helping with this process will help make the skin better, and maybe help
it to be tailored to your (/type of) wiki and the community surrounding the
platform in general.

Thank you in advance for your time!
Jonathan Solichin
