A new skin for the new year

Submitted by vlado on Tue, 2006-01-10 08:49.css | drupal | webdesign | work | work in progress

Upgraded and reskinned the IPROMS conference website.

While there is still some polishing to do on the visuals, the overall design will remain as it is. I will need to put new functionality there. At the moment I'm experimenting with a few approaches to importing OOo Impress presentations. That is a challenge which needs to be solved, but I'm still not sure what is optimal. The Open Document standard is a weird beast, I think a weird bad beast. I wish I could use docbook for this purpose, but that is a dream, which won't come true.

I'm using a custom theme, and I think the modular css approach payed off when developing the stylesheets. I was lost less than usual. I still need to summarise my experiencies. I know, that having multiple files is sub-optimal for performance, but extremely useful for development. That's why when I come to uploading my theme set to contribs I will use this modular approach. If someone wants to optimise they can always hand merge evrything.
