Difference: BlueSkin (1 vs. 3)

META TOPICPARENT name="TWikiPreferences"
My goal was always to find a webpage which can be rendered by all currently available webbrowsers with nearly no rendering problems. But as everybody knows - this is a heavy task, as most browsers render different. One day I discovered the Open Source Web Developers network. They offer templates under GPL for webpages with no graphical components on them, without Javascript and without Flash, etc. So pure HTML and CSS are provided. Hmm - but also those basic formats lead to different results in browsers.

Blueskin 2.0

My goal was always to find a webpage which can be rendered by all currently available webbrowsers with nearly no rendering problems. But as everybody knows - this is a heavy task, as most browsers render different. One day I discovered the Open Source Web Developers network. They offer templates under GPL for webpages with no graphical components on them, without Javascript and without Flash, etc. So pure HTML and CSS are provided. Hmm - but also those basic formats lead to different results in browsers.

Well, one design was so clean and pure - I put attention on it (btw: it got the most downloads). You can find a preview of the original design made by haran under the name of Sinorca.

All was done in XHTML with CSS. So I decided to alter the design and created a wiki skin from it.

It was time to work on BlueSkin, because lot of people demanded changes as the missing preview button and so forth. So fortunately Haran came up with a new version of Sinorca, TWiki had a new release with major changes to the template system and I began to work on a new BlueSkin and versioned it 2.0.

ALERT! Note that BlueSkin 0.4 and prior versions are not supported any longer. The new BlueSkin is only tested with TWikiRelease01Sep2004 and later !

Features

  • Simple and clean design
  • No images, except those found within the wiki system
  • All done in XHTML
  • Use of Javascript frown

Overview

BlueSkin should be rendered correctly (and tested by me) with Konqueror (>KDE 3.2), Firefox 1.0, Internet Explorer 6.0+, Mozilla, Opera. All Browsers should accept Javascript.

Alter some settings in TWikiPreferences and TablePlugin to make BlueSkin look better 

* Background color of non existing topic: ( default =cornsilk= or =#FFFFCE= )
   * Set NEWTOPICBGCOLOR = inherited
Set this to "inherited" to have a transparent background of the new topic. 

* Font color of non existing topic: ( default =#0000FF= )
   * Set NEWTOPICFONTCOLOR = #FF0000
I choose red as a color for new topics. 

* New Link Symbol
   * Set NEWTOPICLINKSYMBOL = <img src="/twiki/pub/TWiki/BlueSkin/tip.gif" border="0" width="16" height="16"/>
There is a small encircled star as a creation symbol for the new topic link. It is located in the pub directory. 

* Set TABLEATTRIBUTES = tableborder="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" headerbg="#8CAAE6" headercolor="003399" databg="#8CAAE6, #EEEEEE"
Set the default attributes for tables in the TablePlugin

Finally switch on the BlueSkin in TWikiPreferences and enjoy.
