Adrian,
Are your changes only in the maincss.css? If so, I'll test it quickly myself.
Last I recall, your changes involve merging tabstyles.css into maincss.css. Is this correct? If
so, there'd be many changes to many files that used to use tabstyles.css. Suggestion on how I can
test maincss.css if this is the case?
Sorry for lack of response, Adrian. Your issue with cleaning up the css files is close to my
heart. I hate having to grep through css files only to find a suitable style named "right-section"
that I'm forced to use for a footer --- ie I hate having to call for a "spanner" in order to get a
scalpel.
I understand it's not easy to create "container styles" for all of OFBiz; we might end up with
styles like "right-section", "right-section-with-a-diff", "right-section-with-more-diff". I
suggest we create very basic styles like "right-section", and then have UIs extend that style. Not
sure if I'm clear here, but that should be about as concise as I can manage to express my idea.
I'll look at the maincss.css file right away. Please advise further to aid my
testing? Thanks.
Jonathon
PS: Beginning of March is also my deadline for my project!

My requests for help with the new maincss.css file
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-666) on the dev and user
mailing lists have gone unanswered, so the UI Refactoring effort has
come to a screeching halt. Jacques was able to test the new maincss.css
file on one more browser - Opera - while evaluating the
experimental_3.patch file
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-633).
In the meantime...
Instead of creating a new umbrella Jira issue for this effort, I decided
to use an existing issue that was already in that role -
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-241. I linked OFBIZ-241 to
some of the "free floating" UI issues.
Here are the tasks I would like to accomplish before the developers
conference in March:
1. Get OFBIZ-666 committed to the project.
2. Submit a newer version of maincss.css to Jira - which can be used for
the rest of this effort.
3. Post some refactoring guidelines and tips on OFBIZ-241.
March is less than a month away. If the UI Refactoring effort is
addressed at the developers conference, then it would be nice to have
this groundwork completed beforehand.
