Hello, To continue on the http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/01265
I've worked further on the theme found at http://paulgiacherio.kodingen.com/pmwiki/pmwiki-2.2.30/ There is a sample there: http://anamnese.online.fr/pmwiki-efo/index.php/PmWiki/PmWiki (password is pmwiki) It can be downloaded from this project page (literature skin): http://code.google.com/p/pmwiki-efo/downloads/list Features: - The content is written with a darker and bigger font than the menu, because it helps to focus more on the text. - The content is using a serif font (more readable). The letters are maybe too big. I'll probably update this with a smaller text size in the future. - For the CSS, I tried to use as many "em" I could, instead of "px". I don't know if it's really a good thing: because of inheritance, it makes it really tricky to customise the font size. - It should be quite simple to switch for left to a right menu. - There is a logo div, and a title div. There is also a background picture ready to customise, because it's probably what people need to use on their website. At the moment, it's just plain blue, to match the link color. It looks a bit big and empty as it is, but with a real picture it's ok in my opinion. - For the links, I tried to follow the previous recommandations: blue, with a different color for followed links (yet I must admit the difference is not very noticable) - There are some CSS3 effects. Not visible in internet explorer, but it doesn't look bad either (the theme on http://paulgiacherio.kodingen.com doesn't render well in IE) - There is an extra menu, editable from /Site/SiteNav . I think many websites need 2 menus: one for general informations, one other for special infos. Even the pmwiki.org website is using a pseudo 2nd menu with the "Recent Changes, Search...". And a third with the view, edit, history... Contao, textpattern and wordpress are all using a side menu, and a top menu in addition. I think this should be considered for the official pmwiki skin / website. - For my own website, I don't think it's good to display the "edit, history, attach" menu for everyone. Obviously, not everyone will need or be able to edit a website, even if it's based on a wiki. Why displaying this menu for 99,99% of the visitors, when only a reduced staff will need this? At the moment it still displays the "login / print" button, but in a later release I'll probably hide this as well, replacing this with a login page. But for the pmwiki website, this edit bar should probably need to stay, because it's a real wiki after all. I realise this skin is not perfect, but it's just an example of what could be done for the official pmwiki website. If it pleases the staff, it should be reviewed by people more experted than I am on this matter. _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
