[SKIN] css-style
Hello devs,
I made a *DEV-SNAPSHOT* of the css-style skin
This can be the all new ;-) css based skin.
There are still heaps issues open for the skin.
e.g.
- If the lenya-logo is right it is not displayed correct. Any ideas why?
- no colour conf possible
- pdf-link so far the only working alternativ (no print,...) and should
be right and same height as H1.
- ...
Help welcome ;-)
...based of Sten Aksel Heien skins
whs.0.5.zip + updates + bugfixes
= xhtml-css-0.5.zip + 0.6-dev issues + changes
=css-style-dev
Try it by declare in your local /forrest.properties/ (works against
SVN-Head):
project.skin=css-style-dev
forrest.skins.descriptors=http://www.apache.org/~thorsten/whiteboard/forrestskins/skins.xml
...and /forrest/ your project.
Note:
/This version is the initial version of the skin. *Everything* can be
changed without notice. Use it as preview not for production!!!/
King regards

The styles should cascade. I've seen though that IE and Mozilla do it
indifferent ways, which sucks.

??? Yeah now it is working (and I did it like you stated to find out)
but only if the dynamc css is called *last*. Which kind of makes sense
because it is the stylesheet which get last read. Saying this the
browser will take up the last e.g. #top that get parsed.
If that is correct, then it's a browser issue.

You mean that it should work the other way around as well? But how does
the browser know which is the overriding css?

To see if the css is working, just type in the url in the browser and
see what it gives you. If that is correct, then it's a browser issue.

That is exactly what I was planing to do!
Cheers.
...but I am not sure why it is not working the following way:
First I copied the skinconf.xsl from the krysalis-site skin to the
css-style-dev skin. Then I created a screen.css.xslt:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:import href="../../common/css/forrest.css.xslt"/>
<!-- This is not used by Forrest but makes it possible to debug the
stylesheet in standalone editors -->
<xsl:output method = "text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<!-- ==================== main block colors ============================ -->
<xsl:template match="color[@name='header']">
#top { background: <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>;}
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Then I used in skinconf.xml:
<color name="header" value="#000000"/>
...but unlike the forrest.css.xslt (in the krysalis-site skin) which
will set the header in {build}/site/skin/forrest.css to black. The
screen.css.xslt are not setting any value in {build}/site/skin/screen.css!
Then I noticed that there where no forrest.css in the krysalis-site skin.
So I renamed the screen.css.xslt to test.css.xslt (and did *not* provide
a test.css) and called it before the screen.css like
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$root}skin/test.css"
type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$root}skin/screen.css"
type="text/css" media="screen" />
...and the header was black :).
To make sure that is had nothing to do with the order I just switched:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$root}skin/screen.css"
type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$root}skin/test.css"
type="text/css" />
...and the header still was black :).
Then I did the ultimate test and added a test.css to
.../skins/css-style-dev/css.
...and /suprise/ the header was *NOT* black.
Then I removed the test.css and the header was black again.
Summary:
The color-profiles work only if you use a profile.css.xslt *without* a
profile.css within .../skins/css-style-dev/css.
e.g. if you have
- profile.css.xslt and
- profile.css
The profile.css will be parsed without transforming the
profile.css.xslt. This way the color-profiles are *not* working for the
static site.
If you use *only* the profile.css.xslt within
.../skins/css-style-dev/css and add
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$root}skin/profile.css" type="text/css" />
to the site2xhtml.xslt the profile is working.
HTH someone that is trying to enable in his/her skin the color-profile ;-).

Sorry, I'm in difficulty to help you, I'm not sure I understand.
In any case, you can write _any_ css file in two ways:
- mycss.css
- mycss.css.xslt

I checked it in to SVN Head as css-style-dev. I choosed "-dev" to
identify that is work in progress. Just make an update to see the latest
version for *testing* *only*. ...and feel free to enhance it :).
See the actual snapshot online http://www.apache.org/~thorsten/prueba/.
Have a look at the source code, I used some comments to identify the
divs. Hope that makes it easy for everyone to understand the skin ;-).
Thanks to the divs it is very straight forward.
I hope that it is ok that I used the xhtml-css skin as base skin!

Next todos:
- introduce the color profiles feature
This can be tricky, because right now the screen css infos are stored in
screen.css. I just know how to make the profile working
(forrest.css.xslt) for the page.css. Saying this I would just copy the
screen.css to page.css and add the feature. Maybe somebody can tell me
how to edit the screen.css directly with the forrest.css.xslt instead.
- introduce an enhanced color profiles feature for the new site with
that the style can be even more customized. Font-size, float....
- introduce other features from krysalis.

I did not used float: right;

after fixing that either.
