Hi Nathan,
Apologies for not replying sooner, but I've been quite busy today. There
were a couple of alternatives that I wanted to investigate before making any
further suggestions. If nothing else there needs to be a bit more padding on
the right-hand side of the popup. Oh and I don't really like the "group" of
menu items that's next to either. Those menu items are all related and
changing the stylesheet doesn't really fit in there. Perhaps a new block
with a title of *Appearance* before the search block would be better.
I agree that including it in the default _NormalBorders is a good thing (it
is a shiny new feature after all!), but obviously it only makes sense to
show it if there are any configured alternatives. So the WikiTalk
in LeftBorder should take this into account.
We'll need to be careful with moving configuration items around when it
comes to providing the upgrade functionality so that existing
OverrideStylesheet configurations are kept.
The new look-and-feel is the "Chocolate" flavour, so this should definitely
be the default selection. IF we're turning this on by default, then it makes
sense to include the "Lemon" flavour as an alternative by default, too.
If I get time to look at the UI alternatives I'll post as soon as I can, but
if not I don't mind you committing as is.
Derek.
