The Flat Grey visual theme is getting old.
The current version of the theme is based on the original look and feel of
OFBiz when I first joined the community - back in 2004. Around the Spring of
2007 I added some gradient gifs to make the original style a little more
interesting.
After that, the visual theme was converted to a floating flexible layout (to
fit any size screen), it was made sight-impaired accessible (font size can be
changed), and it added support for bi-directional layout (for rtl languages).
Those design decisions were made by the OFBiz community and, in my opinion,
continue to make the Flat Grey theme the fallback theme when all else fails. It
just works.
Despite its advantages, it looks dated. I would like to update it to make it
more modern, but maintain its advantages over the other themes. I'm thinking it
only needs css and gif file updates. The current templates and javascripts
would be maintained.
If anyone is interested, they are welcome to help out. I would also appreciate
any suggestions or comments.
Let me know what you think.
