That sounds pretty much as what needs to happen. Not sure if there are any "asset managers" to merge css files for tg to use? As far as what like liked and what were my biggest problems with css that came with default tg: 1. I'm not a designer and I don't know what is going on with css code just by looking at it. This means I need a base and I modify it one by one to get where I need to be. So deleting default css file is not an option as it would put me weeks behind the schedule. So as long as tg css is easy to extend I will be using it. 2. What I like about current css is structure. Top banner (I replaced it with my banner), replaced footer content with my links, replaced paragraphs content with my paragraphs, and replaced side menu with some help links to my specific project. This was nice and easy. I didn't have to do a lot and I have a working page. I've been given a lot of good feedback on the coloring "good job on keeping it modern yet neutral." 3. Then problems came when some parts needed to be moved. After I found a cascading menu that worked on all browsers FF,IE5,6,7,Safari I need to put it right below the banner. This really didn't work with some of the menus as div were messing it up. When I finally added the menu then flash didn't show up in right place. I looked at the code found the flash part but there were no comments on which line moves it up,down,or makes it wide,slim,,etc (needed to experiment with them for a day to make it at the proper place and size). So more comments in the code would be great. (this line makes it 100px wide, this lines moves it here, this lines makes the background black,..this lines makes it float....etc) 4. One issue with datagrid is that sometimes it is wider then the screen. Which means it sticks outside of the page. I guess this would be a case for non static width, not sure. The "Get started menu" is hard to move when datagrid overlays it. I guess this could be fixed if there were comments saying where am I suppose to make it smaller and move it up. 5. Footer was a little hard to replace as it had some wording not in index and master kid file. Finding which part is where was a little time consuming as I couldn't just get rid of it as it was broken down too much. 6. With the above changes I could create any page (forms ,datagrid, etc and it worked for all of them). Thats pretty much it. building tgapp (1 day) trying to get the site look ok by modifying css (4 days). So if we could make this process easier that would be great. (comments in css file, splitting the code in common-layout.css, styles.css, header.css and footer.css would help in my case) Thanks, Lucas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
