• FIXME: Table layout in this thing really, really, really sucks.

David,

Nice work. I guess that stuff in the middle of the title bar is diagnostics that should really be removed? Also, I have one suggested fix - in view.dallas.tmpl, I think every place you have the string /twiki/bin needs to be replaced with %SCRIPTURLPATH% to make it more general.

I've just installed the skin - very nice! - feedback so far is that is much 'friendlier'.

I have a minor problem the icon is missing for the CreateTopic option and when you click on where it should be it attempts to goto 'http://bugs.brain/twiki/bin/createtopic/Main' which doesn't exist. This raises the other point I have - you can't search for something and then be prompted to create it if it doesn't exist. How do you create new content?

I've modified the code a bit to make it more generic - there was a lot of hardcoded stuff in there. Attached below. Originally suggested by MartinWatt, but I found it really needed it

One thing to look out for that bit some of our people. The skin needs to have the edit url's replaced by %EDITURL% to prevent the RefreshEditPage bug. I also changed the cellspacing to 5% in the major table. The contents of the page were just too close to the dividng line otherwise. I agree, it looks good. My boss likes it better then the default skin I chose for the web site.

DavidWeller has ceased doing any TWiki work Patrick. Would you be interested becoming the owner of this skin?

-- MartinCleaver - 21 Jun 2003

Why not, if this can help other users and make this skin maintained a little bit as we use it at Schlumberger. Ok, I will upload a fixed version of it. But, is David ok with this ? Is it because he joined Microsoft ? Is Microsoft against working on free software ? I hope Microsoft will never get sell TWiki too

-- PatrickNomblot - 20 Jun 2003

Martin is very busy at Microsoft, he does not mind if someone takes over the maintenance of this skin.

I reformatted the Skin topic: Replaced Wiki-links with Interwiki-links (to make link work at other sites), and added the standard Skin-info part. The maintainer could take this back into the package.
