Thanks a lot, Seems like I can "steal" more ideas from there.
The current status of the CSS development onto the CVS is:
a) General navbar redone (I consider it as "beta") using much of the ideas I've found in Ricky's mockup. It's actually his bar with a couple fixes regarding paddings and margins that, if not applied, tend to cut out background images. The whole thing does scale decently if I raise the character size from one or two points, but starts to cripple a bit if you go further)
b) First "proof of concept" tabbar. I consider it as "alpha", and I need to redo all the images (the actual ones are horrible). So Ricky, if you want you can change them and commit the changes onto the cvs.
The approach I took is a mix between Ricky's mockup and the approach taken by the guys at
ubuntu.com (they had the nicest tabs arounds, IMHO). The only problem is that it still needs some fixing for what regards the positioning of the whole block and the fact that I'm using images to draw the tabs. There are still things to be tested in terms of "scaling".
Ok that's all. For what regards PNGs, I'll leave them as they are. Then, in the IEFixes.css of plone (a file already present that gets loaded only by IE6) we can simply add redefine all the styles background to grab gifs instead of pngs.
Greetings all
