Hi Richard,
a key feature i'm looking for is the ability to switch between a full-featured editor and a simple editor right when you're doing the text. This was partly available in 1.9's old FCK editor (it went from complex to very complex), but doesn't seem to be available in TinyMCE as far as I can tell. There's an advanced and simple layout, but there doesn't seem to be a way to switch between theme easily.
It means you can avoid making hard decisions about what's in and what's out for most people. You just put the common, simple stuff on top of the little entry box, and then give them everything if they pop it out to full screen. I think this is the best of both worlds.

Yes, the best way to fix all these things is to get them into core. On the other hand, that takes a whole lot of effort and time, so if you can prototype solutions from within themes, or just by suggesting some admin settings that other people can try and give feedback on, that's a good place to start.
A META tracker bug would be good, it's very hard to know what other people are looking at and working on, or how to prioritise and focus your work without one (or more, if the work breaks down that way)

Hi Gareth,
I'd be interested in helping out with this. There seems to be some good knowledge in that other thread about how to tweak TinyMCE either via site settings or via the theme, if you sift through it all.
For myself, I think both styling of the buttons, and selectively hiding/showing buttons via CSS is possible in a theme. My current line of enquiry is to hide almost every button until the full screen button is pressed then show them all So you'd only have one (short) line of icons above the editor in the default case.
Early experiments have been positive, but i've not had a lot of time to dedicate to this recently.

I'm guessing this is a silly question, but I'm not Googling up anything obvious. How would I access the site's shortname and fullname as set from site settings?
Looking at the base theme it just seems to output it as a special case of the page->fullname, but I want to output it even if not on the front page.

I think you've got them the wrong way round, try:
.course-20 #page-header { etc.
.course-20 #page-header { etc.
