Here are a few things with skins I want to mention. I might be asking for a lot but it can't hurt.

  • When a skin is updated it should push the update to all that have that skin applied.
  • Every and all elements, div, images, table, span etc etc etc should have a class or id so it can be tweaked in the css even if you the default theme and others don't use it.... it would be there if anyone does want to. You don't even need to have it mentioned in the default css as to not confuse people but those that know how can use it.
  • I think there should be several css files that you can make custom.... the main one used for everything and then either one or more. To be more specific.... I resorted to some css file hackery to make special conditions for IE7 and IE6 utilizing the * and _ I think it would make far more sense to be able to use a css file targeted at that browser. if nothing else at least one to correct IE6 messes. Again like the class and id  items the css file would be available for those that knew why it was there.
  • I'm not sure if it's me or not but I find the nested divs for the header and end caps odd code layout. nesting them causes them to pick up the prior divs settings no? wouldn't it make more sense to have [nav div] [left endcap][/left endcap] [right endcap][/rightendcap] nav stuff like the ul ol [/nav div] instead of each one being nested inside the other.
  • some image elements are hard coded into the page - this makes making dark skins or black skins difficult at best.... since these images are designed to be on a light background.
  • it would be nice to see a list of who's using the skin this could be private in your stats section
  • the entire page could be wraped in a div to help with layout placement - the woyanonav is outside the main body div and I think some of the nav header stuff is too don't recall at the moment.
  • commented css source with commented out suggestions for how extra divs are to be used might be a nice idea

 

 

I think that's all I can think of for now :)

 Thanks for a sweet skin system it really lets you do so much!
