Improved themeability effort

Added by Brad Beattie about 15 years ago

I was wondering what it would take to make Redmine more themeable. The first though I have is to improve the XHTML content to be a little more agnostic of the display.

For example, as I type this I see "New message" and "Watch" in the contextual div up to the top right. These items comprise a list, but they aren't marked as such. In contrast, the main-menu div is an unordered list. Given the context, that makes more sense than a series of anchor tags.

The down side to this effort is that it won't be a small patch. I've forked the git repository and I'll start my work tomorrow evening. Just curious if anyone thinks this is a waste of time before I put an evening into it.

Frankly, I wouldn't do it in a core. You can redefine views using a plugin and then suggest improvements to the core based on the plugin views.

You can do a lot by just overriding views, https://projects.littlestreamsoftware.com (work in progress)
