A few points I would make (as I write this, I am aware this probably
should be moved to the development list):
- ez.css is no more than a layout / framing convention;
- staying compatible is easy (and it provides simple layout
control);
- it uses a useful convention of css class nameing, namely: <pkg>-
<class>, e.g.: "ez-wr" -
- we should stick with that, ie. something like "w2p" for all
web2py named css classes and id selectors;
- note: the major difference between
- class selectors (.something) and
- id selectors (#something) is id selectors can link to a
part of a page, and javascript uses id selectors;
I'm not sure specifically what Massimo meant by "ez.css and jquery.ui
naming conventions"; we should get specific about this.
ez has the concept of
- wrappers, (ez-wr, ez-mr)
- style containers (i.e. layout containers)
- content containers (i.e. ez-box)
- sizing elements;
and more...
jquery has at least these conventions:
- http://jqueryui.com/docs/Theming/API
- http://wiki.jqueryui.com/Position
Note that ThemeRoller is a way to apply to PARTS of a user layout,
e.g.:
- font settings;
- corner radius;
- header;
- toolbar;
- content;
- clicables;
- highlight;
- errors;
- modal;
- drop shadoes;
By combining ez (positioning) and jquery-ui (and staying consistent w/
themeroller), we should be able to build-up a web2py-unique packaging,
with potentially useful extensions (e.g. for form layout and theming).
This seems, to me, to be a very promising direction.
