After some playing around, I seriously think the CSS should be
*completely* decoupled from the nugget contracts. The problem with the
current implementation is that it includes all the default CSS files
(eg: basic.css, contracts-<pagename>.css and so on) and then it loads
the CSS file specified by forrest:css
This works fine, except that it makes defining new skins exceptionally
hard. Due to the way CSS works, if I have to define new properties for
the nav-bar say, then I first have to UNDO all of the changes made by
the CSS files loaded by default, and then define the CSS properties
the way I want them to.
I guess what I wrote above didn't make much sense. Here's an example.
Suppose I want to write a skin that doesn't use the float property for
placing tabs. Currently, nav-main-css contains something like:
#branding ul {
float: right;
....
}
Now suppose I have the following in my forrest:css :
#branding ul {
display: inline;
}
Now unless I *also* specify "float: none;" in the my CSS, the
float:right property will be inherited from CSS files loaded
previously. A simple option that controls inclusion of default CSS
files should fix the problem.
Thanks,
