Suggestions for the styles

As I worked on a style for my homepage I recognized some things that should get under your consideration (incomplete list ... those I can remember right now  ::) ).


  • Admin Menu -> Settings -> Last row (where the annotation are written down: "(*) Felder, die" and so on):
    class tableh2 isn't the best, if you're using a background image for this css class. I would set a new class for this instead.
  • ... same for Admin Menu -> Groups -> Head row (class tableh1) - not the best with background image
  • function $template_display_picture -> {ADMIN_MENU}:
    class admin_menu is set for the <a> tag instead of making a tag with the class admin_menu around the <a> tags (like it should be). Currently you have to modified the style.css (i.e. adding a.admin_menu) or the theme.php to have a similar look with the other admin menues.
  • function $template_album_list_cat, $template_album_list:

    The class maintable as a standard table class around these functions greatly harms the "designing freedom" (english' not my foreign lang). I would prefer a new class for this. I had to close the table to realize the things I want but the disadvantage by doing this is that Opera draws horizontal lines of the closed tables (bug in Opera that displays also empty tags)

    The part (c_)empty_cell is unnecessary.

    The row

        <tr>
                <td colspan="3">
                        <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" alt=""><br />
                </td>
        </tr>
is unnecessary and appears wrong in IE (spacing is too big in height).

[/list]

Furthermore it would be wonderful if

  • the image info box could be edited (what is shown there) within the theme.php
  • and if the theme-scripter could set the order of navmenu, info box, comment box and the image itself.

I should add that I didn't wanted to change anything on the php functions "outside" the theme.php. Maybe you should heed this by reading the annotations.
