Hi Christian and all TwWizards ;-) I haven't really got into the CSS'ing yet. In spite of my HEAVY use of this forum - asking all kinds of questions related to javascript and Html - I still haven't reached the point where I need to make something original on the CSS-front myself. I am very inspired by all the different ways people tweak the original document - and I copy anything that looks interesting - to investigate it - and to try out.
I think that Eric Shulmans point about the importance of the default CSS beeing as simple as possible is also applicable to the core and plugin aspect. It is surprisingly difficult to remove things that are already there. You have to know a lot more from the start, to even guess, what you can leave out from a working TW - not breaking anything that is custommade (ie not shadowed). That was some of my major concerns when I started to use TW. I've copied many "custommade" TWs I found on this forum - removed data and plugins (irrelevant for my uses) and filled them again with my own collection of plugins. I have translated most of them to Danish - this includes buttonLabels and macro/plugin/script - labels asf.. My private goal has been to provide some alternative and friendly texttools with internet capabilities to my students and collegues. However I have become more and more "greedy" as I discovered to what extent You can benefit from the use of various plugins - especially fET!.. I've put an TwMindMap on TiddlySpot, that shows most of my "stolen goods" ... they're all (almost) in Danish - and most of them are filled with my own (very different) projects and a couple of "to- become-projects" as well. If you wan't to investigate my adapted TWs(in Danish), which I think are all extremely different in looks and use - Take a look here: http://twspot.tiddlyspot.com When I reach a point of "fullfillness" (don't know if I can..) I want to clean up and make empty versions of all the TWs - to provide a sortiment for a danish community to choose from. ...
