It turns out i just happened to look at the one DOM element which didn't
have such a class: most of the timeline DOM elements have CSS classes
named
timelineSOMETHING, and the date fields now (as of 20 seconds ago) have a
'timelineDate' CSS class on them. With a bit of JS those can be
manipulated
in arbitrary ways, but note that any such manipulation might interfere
with
the canvas parts (the arrows and lines, which themselves are drawn onto
an
HTML Canvas by JavaScript).
i _think_ the JS code and the C code are a bit intertwined/co-dependent
there, but i'll have to take a look at that before i can answer
definitively. In any case, i'll get some CSS markers added to the
output so
that this sort of customization is more feasible. i'm off work today,
so
i'll get on this now.
The routines which output the timeline are, without a doubt, the most
complex in fossil (even more complex, in terms of amount of logic, than
the
core SCM internals, IMO). The routine which draws most of the visible
parts
of the /timeline page, for example, is over 300 lines long, and it's
supported by several hundred more lines of code. Any sort of non-trivial
change here would be... well, non-trivial. There is another solution,
however, _if_ you're up for a bit of JavaScript programming. Here's an
example/proof-of-concept which uses the JSON API and a custom
HTML/CSS/JSS
front-end to create custom timelines:

If that might be an option for you, let me know and i can go into more
detail. (It could be integrated into the core UI, but that would be a
bit
hackish... oh, but that gives me another idea to try out later.)
