Well, what i was aiming at, was to move some of the core functions out of the files, into the theme file, and that way giving guys like me more controll over how things actually is printed for our visitors (i'm a sucker for cusomizing things
)
And i'm not sure if i do agree with you about the fact that most things that i want to do can be done with the help of CSS, not right now at least.
But i do see your point due to the fact that the theming system that is used right now is old, and needs some tweaking to be made up to date.
And i can surely see why you dont want to do a "quick hack" system once again, instead of waiting a while and deliver a more robust theming system later.
I will try to be to some assistance in whatever areas i can, but i have to warn you... i'm known to be a real pain
One thing that has been bothering me the last couple of days is that there is no way to use different icons depending on what theme you choose, this is a thing that could be done rather easy with;
if(file_exists("$CFG->
wwwroot/theme/$CFG->theme/pix/help.gif")) {
print /theme//pix/help.gif">
} else {
print /pix/help.gif">
}
Simple thing like this is what realy makes life pleasent for guys like me
And makes it much easyer for devs to actually make implementations of your soft that can be stunning.
And if a thing like this could be introduced, you would be a good way on the road to common UI. Let be on a devs level, but it is a start as a foundation for further development. And the transfer to GUI should be more smooth and easy both for your users, and devs.
The theme that i created, will be posted here for you to test out during the coming week. Hopefully it will be in your liking
And i dont take your comments to be knocking down my needs and ideas
After all development in Open Souce progress better when an open discussion is present
And since i'm new here... i have to learn the dev process...
