If you're looking for a group that understands UI and HTML, check out www.37signals.com. They do excellent UI and design work that looks simple, clean, and slick. They're expensive, but I wouldn't be surprised if they donated their work just to say they designed Zope 3's UI, that would be a huge thing to put on their resume. I agree with the posts here that 3.0 should use all the technology available to it (CSS2+, XHTML, etc). It's frustrating to design for Netscape 4 and time people upgraded. I've personally stopped designing for NS4 altogether. Furthermore, will this design bleed over into the CMF? If I recall correctly, CMF is going to be built into Zope3. A new default theme for CMF would be nice. Sean Friday, April 5, 2002, 9:29:04 AM, you wrote: AL> From: "Casey Duncan" <casey@zope.com>
In light of that, I would like to see a ZMI skin that is fully xhtml 1.0 compliant, and uses CSS2 to its full extend, and possibly some CSS3. To me that means that one could develop the html coding completely devoid of presentation (no tables used for formatting, etc). I would also like to avoid using images for this skin unless they convey some meaning (such as icons) or otherwise enhance the useability. IOW, no shims, rounded corners, etc.
