Slashcode

The Strict Slash theme

posted by Krow on 11:03 PM January 14th, 2003      

Like I wrote in "Upcoming XHTML/Accessibility Slash theme" I'm working on a slash theme with the goal of complying with the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. It's far from complete, but I think that it has reached a point where I want to hear comments from others and see if someone is interesting in contributing patches to fix bugs / implement new features.

It requires latest slash cvs and it's available from anonymous read-only cvs:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@strict.openflows.org:/var/lib/c vs login
No password, just press Enter.

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@strict.openflows.org:/var/lib/c vs co strict

It's hosted by Openflows, who has been supporting the development of this theme.

You vill find a List of changes and a Todo list on the demo site strict.openflows.org

  I've done a lot fo work on my templates to make them XHTML compliant. Though I'm far from it, and in need of some motivation to get rid of some of that horrible default slashtml, it does quite well using only CSS for layout: hardcoregamers.com [hardcoregamers.com]

  If you'd like my templates and CSS files, let me know and I'll tar.gz them for you. Though I'm not as keen to get the site using XHTML as you, I am keen to get rid of tables unless they're absolutely necessary. I have a love affair with CSS, you see : )

  When you goto his site that's using the strick stuff, if you're using Mozilla:
  
  pull down the 'view' menu, and choose 'use style'.
  
  you can pick from a slashcodeish look, to an openflows-look, etc. very slick!!

  Great work! How about Krow or someone adding this as a theme in the CVS?

  It's either on the beat or off the beat, it's that easy.

  You know, the size of the page and the speed it loads seems way better than the default slash theme.
