Jonathon,
The OFBIZ-666 changes only affect maincss.css - the issue describes what it
does. The css file merge was accomplished a week or so ago.
Right now the holdup is testing on a Mac - I need someone with a Mac to try it
out.
Thank you very much for your help!

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.
