Didn't thought of that. But with completely different selectors, as for example a rightBar instead of sidebarOptions, it becomes even simpler (for a non-developer, anyway), since then there couldn't be any interference anymore. But almost the whole of StyleSheetLayout and StyleSheetColor tiddlers would have to be used as a DepreciatedStyleSheet tiddler instead (in the case of a reinvention of the whole layout). > * ideally as a theme, with a plugin to neutralize the style-sheet shadow > tiddlers (that's a few simple lines of code) If such a plugin would be possible I guess this even the preferred way to go, initially (and more light weight too). > Having said that, if someone put effort into redesigning the TiddlyWiki > UI, presenting a tangible proposal*, that would be a better basis for > any discussions. > I don't think anyone would put in his whole 'CSS love for TW' - only to see it teared apart by such discussions as they happened when only the SideBarTabs tiddler was hidden at tiddlywiki.com: (or being ignored by http://tiddlythemes.com/, as all proposals have been during the last year) http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/5f669855f71ad5fb/6e5d6eacb6f149eb?q=SideBarTabs&lnk=ol&# However, I could see two very unconventional options to overcome this resistance of TiddlyWiki's community to any serious style development: *give each of the core developers one version number as an opportunity to show his idea of an ideal up-to date-theme (without much discussion beforehand). or: *let's make a contest with a death-line in 1-2 months ahead, where everybody could show of ;-) And then make a poll (in a year or so, in the case of the first option) and for sure we would have the most amazing TiddlyWiki default theme of this planet ever. With discussions beforehand the 'love for CSS' doesn't has a chance really - but will always take a second place to consent. regards.. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
