Please keep in mind that the font size / styles used on our site were
chosen by our design team to best fit the needs of our users. I am sure
that we can come up with another style sheet that will be more to the
liking of the general sqwebmail user base. In fact, I don't see why it
would be out of the question to distribute sqwebmail with multiple style
sheets, allowing administrators to choose between more the design centric
or the variable sized styles.
Our biggest eventual goals, I think (and we aren't even near getting there
yet), are to move as much font and table style information out of the html
and into the css and to get as much html out of the c source files
as possible. The first step for us, however, was to come up with a design
scheme for our users that is as nice looking as sqwebmail is
functional.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the possibility of working what we have
into the distribution so that we can work toward those stated goals in an
efficient manner that benefits the rest of the sqwebmail community
immediately. The css stuff is reletively minor - so hopefully we can work
out all the little details like that to make things more appealing for
everyone.
