محروم.كوم | 12-20-2009 12:20 AM | Styles How to Make Stylevars Make Sense A lot of the reason people are complaining about the stylevar system is because it lacks any kind of real organization and method. Styles are basically created through trial and error in addition to searching for the right value to edit. The following will make all of our lives so much easier: - Put Stylevars in a logical order: Put stylevars in the same order a normal css coder would. For example* put the stylevar for normal link first* then hover link* then click link* etc. It's really frustrating to see "hover link color" and think to yourself "OK< where's the normal link color" only to find it several spaces down on the page.
- Make a better Preview: The current preview works for SOME stylevars (like buttons)* however* it would be so much better if a preview similar to that introduced in Custom Profiles were put into place.
- Before Gold* add logical names and descriptions to all stylevars: It seems you have already done so for a number of stylevars* very good! Now* keep that up for the rest of them ;).
- Color Code Edited Stylevars: Just like edited templates and edited style values in the old Main CSS* altered stylevars MUST MUST MUST have some form of visual indication they were edited. If it's at all possible to apply the same system present in the template engine* use it.
OK* rant / suggestion of the day over. Good luck with developing :). |
