Re: [Phpslash-devel] XHTML / CSS templates

Hi Lars,

I didn't see any responses, but I think it should be discussed.  So
hopefully this will spark some interest.

This is great.  The work you've done to get XHTML templates ready is
appreciated.  Changing the attributes in the stylesheet will help those
that miss our keeping the colors in the database.

I'd like to see somebody throw out a catchy name.  After I named the
current one 'default', I see how bad that is.

Looking forward to testing them.

I'd like to see them part of the 0.65 distribution.  Possibly keep the
current templates as default for now.

You and I have discussed this before and I would like others input on
this.  Are the templates going to be distributed in the doc root
indefinitely?  

Either way, I think I've changed my mind and would like to see a styles
directory with a naming system that ties the css files to the template
set.  I know some sets may have a css file for well behaved browsers and
another for NS4.

Opinions?
