RE: [Rainbowportal-devel] themes

[<jon...@jo...>]

This makes sence, and falls in line with the 1.5 plan of module enhancements.
This entire change can be done on a module level with no need to go into core or anything like
that. So it works well.
We should get a list of all the modules that need this to be done
FileDirectory
SiteMap
Discussions
etc...

Is uppose we have to agree on the convention insdie the them folder then
currently there is 
Desgin/Themes/ThemeName/

What we are lookign for is 
Design/Themes/ThemeName/Mods/SameFolderNameAsModuleFolderName/
This can also be the container of module specific css files we where discussing.

My only fear here is the length of these path names become excesivly long when repeated many times
in the output html. It's like viewstate... beefing up the HTML quiet a bit.

I agree with you. They really do need to be part of the theme.  If I
want to make a Christmas Theme then the images should be able to change
All be it the themes will become a little more heavy in size, especially
if you don't change icons.  but in that case I think Rainbow already
used the Default theme when icons are not found. As long as that stays
in you could just replace the icons that you want to change.

All icons or images of modules should be considered as a theme because
they are part of the interface..there should be no "specific"
icons..as
long as they are considered part of interface..
This is my opinion any img or icon is part of the interface and should
be in the themes of the module.
What is the definition of module specific icons? If changing them by a
designer can change the interface.. means they r themes,..

Like you were talking about site map icons ( use folder icon or page
icon) this thing can be adjusted by user by adding his own theme. Or
whether the lines of the tree of the sitemap are dotted or not..

Like your doing now a forum module.. all icons, images should be part
of
theme.. there should be no module specific images that cannot be
changed
by theme..
We should be consistant..designer of themes should be able to change
any
image or interface items in the modules...
I feel now this things is not consitent bcse part of the images of
modules are in theme and part in the module directory.

And at the end when we are doing the RTL support.. we need for example
to mirror the icons of the dotted line of the tree in order to be from
right to left..when this is inside the themed our work is over.. but
when images are in different directory the problem will be more..

Try to think about a consistent way of allowing themes designer to
change anything related to interface of modules

1) module control  images are located in the theme folders already, if
you are talkign about the
other images, like folders... or module specific icons... then...
those
should stay in the module i
think, not the theme. or make a directory in asp_client/mod_img/
and open directory for each one.... but the mod images are not related
to themes
they are related to modules in my opinion. 

2) AS of work being done latley, any module that get's fixed by me...
get's it's own css file which
you have to include in all your theme folders.
mod_discussion.css
mod_blog.css
mod_pageManager.css
etc...

I think that icons, images used in module level should be put inside
img
directory of themes.. like that it depends about what u select as
theme,
then the icons and images used in the module will change..(making
themes
for  the module level regarding icons and image used in it ,, and of
course I prefer a CSS per module.. and one general combining them
instead of searching inside one big file for things related to a
module)




Example (sitemap , discussion ,etc...)..




Moreover this will allow us to t apply the RTL support for the modules
(because remember we need to mirror the images.. like the images of
the
sitemap when drawing the tree)




Now images and icons at module level are put inside the directory of
the
module..i think these should be moved to image directory of themes..

Omar
