Online Glom: make it easy to create new themes for Online Glom
Last modified: 2021-07-05 10:53:10 UTC
It would be useful if Online Glom could be easily themed. The idea is to make it easier for graphic artists to adjust the look and feel without breaking the details layout too much. Off the top of my head, here's what would be required to do this: * Go through the current Online Glom style (both the .css file and the style set programmatically) and decide if the given style element is required to make the details layout correct or if it's more of a "look and feel" oriented style. -> "look and feel" styles should be put in the style sheet -> layout oriented styles should be set programmatically with GWT * Create a proper mockup with all layout items that can be in the details view. This should be based on the exact HTML structure of Online Glom so that it's easy to develop styles without deploying the servlet. Note: None of the mockups in the gwt-glom repository currently match the HTML structure of the live Online Glom. * Validate the "look and feel" vs. layout style choices by creating a new theme. Ideally a graphic artist should do this to get better feedback.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glom/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
