Adrian,Thank you VERY much for the amount of time and effort you put into this area and for spearheading the effort!!! It has greatly simplified thatarea of the project and made it immensely more flexible and easier to work with. -Chris --- Adrian Crum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Only a few (but significant) changes have been made during the last month. OFBiz has a new look in the back office applications. Many thanks to everyone who voted for and commented on the new style, and thanks to Jacopo for getting it committed. As soon as the new style was committed, Andrew Zeneski went right to work refactoring the Order component to take advantage of it. There are still a few Order component screens that need updating. I put forth a RFC email asking for comment on simplifying the layout of the outermost HTML elements. So far Jacopo is the only one who has responded. Since there haven't been any objections, I'll get a patch submitted soon. A patch has been submitted to help advance the RTL layout effort - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-998. Looking to the future - I would like to start removing unused styles from the maincss.css file. Once it is scaled down a bit, we can create a RTL version of it so that OFBiz can support RTL layout OOTB. I will be ramping down my involvement with the UI refactoring effort. Enough work has been done that any one of the developers can continue the effort by using the refactored components as a guide. I will continue to help troubleshoot UI issues and answer questions and such, but I won't be making any more broad, sweeping changes. I will also continue to refactor screens here and there as I come across them. Looking back over the last five months, it is inspiring to see how much progress has been made. Beginning around the middle of January 2007, the UI refactoring effort has produced the following: Formulated CSS/HTML Best Practices Consolidated the style sheets Reduced the amount of code in the main style sheet UI was made scalable Default styles for widgets - reducing XML code New styles for recurring HTML element compounds - reducing HTML markup A new look (the gradients style) All of this was accomplished by a great team of developers who devoted a lot of time to the work. Thanks again everyone! -Adrian
