New forrest skin
All,
As I've announced some weeks ago, I've put some work into developing a
"only-divs-for-layout" skin. Today, it has reached a pretty stable state
(meaning that some cleaning needs to be done, but the bones and a lot of
meat are there)
You can see the result at http://users.pandora.be/tom.klaasen/forrest/
(won't stay there forever though).
Source is browsable on
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/rssmailer/IguanacharlieSkin/
If you're still interested in adding this skin to the forrest cvs tree,
let me know what steps to do next.
(Credits: krysalis-site skin was the base for most of the xsl, and
http://forrest.iguanacharlie.com is the basis of the resulting layout.)
kr,
tomK

Babysteps (aka "release early, release often"). First thing is to get
the current css right. I noticed that some <section>s aren't rendered
correctly (notably on the "samples" page). Unluckily, I won't be able to
work on it for some weeks to come (my summer holidays are coming up).
Nice ideas though. They'll stay on my todo-list till after I come back.
You're always welcome to beat me to it ;-)

Do you have other css files (such as one w different background-color,
font-family, etc.) to go along w your new "only-divs-for-layout" skin?
That would be a nice addition. If you added them to the header following
the examples in this link, people could switch among them:
http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/codeisfreespeech.html
There's even a stylesheet switcher for (blech!) Netscape 4.x:
http://www.alistapart.com/stories/n4switch/
Of course, since Internet Explorer doesn't have a "use Style" menu like
Mozilla, it wouldn't know the difference (but who cares?) I guess you
could always provide a "Choose style sheet" favelet on the page for
challenged M$IE users...
[OT] BTW, there're about 20+ nifty "favelets" accessible from that site:
http://www.tantek.com/favelets/
What's a favelet? It's a JavaScript "link" that can be clicked on or
dragged to the Personal Toolbar to perform an action (such as reSize the
window to 800x600, make all DIVs or TABLE elements on a page have a red
border, or list all IMAGE elements in an 'alert()', or validate the page
you're on w a click from the Personal ToolBar). Favelets are also
referred to as "Bookmarlets". Here're a couple of useful ones (watch
wrap on the long ones) & there're more on the above page:
ReSize window to 800x600:
javascript:void(window.resizeTo(800,600))
W3C HTML Validator for Current Page:
javascript:void(document.location='http://validator.w3.org/check?uri='+document.location)
W3C CSS Validator for current page:
javascript:void(document.location='http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri='+document.location)
View HTTP Headers:
javascript:void(document.location='http://www.delorie.com/web/headers.cgi?url='+escape(document.location))
Here's some more links to Favelets:

Have a nice day!

Excellent :) I've added it to CVS as 'forrest-css'.
I don't know if you saw, but there's a krysalis CSS available (mentioned
at http://issues.cocoondev.org/jira/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=FOR-28).
I've added this as an alternative CSS.
Glitch-wise, the biggest problem I see is that if the font is made larger
than usual, the tab and search box expands, but its rounded top edge
doesn't.
Anyway, nice job :) If you have any patches, might be easiest to apply
them to Sourceforge rssmailer/IguanacharlieSkin, and let us know to
synchronize.

BTW, I noticed when checking Tom's new Forrest skin that the w3c HTML
validation link copies the URI, making it convenient to click and get a
validation report. However, the w3c CSS link does not. Can a fix be
added to Forrest to make the w3c css link validate?

I check your page and it appears to be valid HTML4.01 Transitional
(congrats & stuff), but it has a few problems with w3c css validation.
You can copy your URI to the clipboard and click on the validate w/ CSS
graphic at the bottom, or you can click below (watch wrap):

Great Job! Where the skin will be upgraded into forrest?
