mhall119nope00:52
mhall119I'm not sure anybody ever really gets good at css00:52
mhall119I think people just get good at hiding the fact that they still use tables for layout00:53
MTecknologymhall119: :P00:55
MTecknologymhall119: do they?00:55
mhall119I do00:55
MTecknologyI hate tables00:55
mhall119MTecknology: http://giveupandusetables.com/00:55
MTecknologyI try to only use them when they really fit the bill00:55
MTecknologylol.. nice00:57

MTecknologymhall119: staging.profarius.com01:10
MTecknologymhall119: I'm working on BG color right now .. so .. that part is broken01:10
mhall119coming along01:11
MTecknologymhall119: You remember what it looked like?01:11
MTecknologyI noticed a lot of HTML5 techniques being used in the base theme01:14
MTecknologyI kind of shyed away from them for compatability01:14
mhall119I don't think there's any html5 stuff01:15
MTecknologyI could be confused too01:15
mhall119the <article> stuff is just xhtml and css I think01:16
MTecknologyoh01:16
MTecknologymhall119: so.. ya gonna help me out with this sucker?01:42
mhall119drupal?01:43
MTecknologyCSS stuff01:45
MTecknologyThe Drupal end of it is hammered out01:45
MTecknologyI added two functions and for cleanliness removed another for this theme01:46
MTecknologys/this theme/the rebase/01:46
mhall119couldn't you just hit me in the face with a hammer instead?01:46
* mhall119 doesn't like css01:46
MTecknology:P01:48
MTecknologyI'm not a fan either01:48
MTecknologymhall119: What I'm fighting now is 100% width being applied for the sub header - but that's going to take some work to make actually clean01:48
mhall119MTecknology: I copied the django theme almost 100% from newz2000's light-base-theme01:49
mhall119I don't know what most of it does01:49
MTecknologymhall119: lol..01:49
MTecknologymhall119: I took what I had, and I'm merging the two01:50
MTecknologyI considered copying like that - but instead I didn't :P01:50
MTecknologymhall119: I'm about to put the <div container> inside of <div subheader> That's how it should be - but breaks.. This is gonna suck :P01:56
MTecknologyDo any of the light themes use collapsible sidebars?03:21
* newz2000 does not think so03:25
MTecknologyoh..03:37
MTecknologyI was doing it fine before - I think I finally fixed it now03:37
MTecknologyFor some reason.. firefox doesn't see <div? the sane as <div> .... that made things heck to fix.03:37
MTecknologymhall119: yay, I'm further yet04:46
MTecknologymhall119: I wiped the site entirely clean so it's only the theme and filler content now..04:47
MTecknologymhall119: You should help me now :D04:51
MTecknologynewz2000: mhall119: You care if I push a change to light-base-theme?05:51
MTecknologySimple spelling error in one link.05:51
mhall119MTecknology: sorry, got drawn into watching Eureka last night13:16
mhall119MTecknology: I've been putting changes to light-base-theme up as merge proposals, since they affect all child themes13:17
mhall119also file a bug for it, so we can track when the fix makes it into each of the child themes13:17
MTecknologymhall119: alrighty - maybe you could just put it as a change to one of ours - Peage -> Page in one of the menus18:06
mhall119MTecknology: which file?18:41
mhall119nevermind, I found it18:41
mhall119that's just a mockup file, so it really doesn't have any downstream impact, I can change it18:42
MTecknologymhall119: Ya, that's why I said simple :)18:48
mhall119done and done18:49
MTecknologymhall119: now back to my css issues....18:55
MTecknology:P18:55
MTecknologymhall119: You know that 80/20 rule>19:00
MTecknology?*19:00
MTecknologyI'd like to think I now passed the 20... but I fear the opposite. :P19:01
MTecknologyOh.. Is there any RTL CSS for the base theme or am I missing it?19:07
mhall119MTecknology: there isn't any currently, but there is a bug to have it added19:46
MTecknologymhall119: alrighty. I was doing it but it'll need to be looked at again after this rebase. Might be able to use some of what I wind up doing in it.19:47
mhall119cool, I'd appreciate that as we need it for loco.ubuntu.com20:00
