[Bodington-developers] Dynamic Style

[Jon M. <jo...@te...>]

I'd be grateful if you would all take a look at this demo;

http://www.jommaber.co.uk:8080/dynamicstyle/

In particular with a view to using this technique to replace the style 
sheet processing code in Bodington. The intention is that the addition 
of new CSS classes involves simply editing a style file rather than 
working on numerous lines of Java source code but that the dynamic 
processing of colours etc. is just as good, if not better than the 
current functionality in Bodington.

Please bear in mind that the work is far from complete. Top priority is 
the modification of hue values for three forms of colour blindness so 
that emphasised foreground colours remain distinct. There is also work 
needed for handling background images, scaling of foreground images, 
spacing of text etc. etc. There are also constraints on the style file 
at the moment, e.g. if any foreground colour is given in a CSS block 
there must be a background declaration too which cannot be transparent.

The code for all this can be co-installed in the Bodington web 
application but can operate separately from it and be used to process 
style for other web applications. It could be installed in the ROOT web 
application and cover the whole Tomcat installation.
