What if the winner decides that he/she does not want to take the money or he/she cannot take the money because they don't have paypal? Is it possible to refuse the money and would the winner get something else in return?

It is free to have a PayPal account.

What exactly do you mean? I couldn't think of anything else right now...

I'm not too sure myself, I was just throwing it out there.

I know it's free.

As I looked to the changeset in Track, I saw that some improvement have been added concerning the style. I would suggest to the competitor to wait before beginning with there work

@jojaba: Not quite. The relevant changes are listed in the first post of this topic. They can just check back here or in Trac regularly (although there shouldn't be too many changes from now on).

Sure you can use images, just don't go over the top using lots of large unoptimized images.

Hello.
I suggest you to put your images in the "myskin/images/" (where "myskin" is your css file name) folder in "style" folder.

Regarding the discussion on this topic, let's give you a summary (that has to be confirmed by the developper ) :
Your css file has to be named Myskin.css (where "Myskin" is the name of your main css file).
Here's the tree :

/style/
- Myskin.css
- /Myskin/
  - admin.tpl (if you want to modify the default template located in /include/template/)
  - help.tpl (if you want to modify the default template located in /include/template/)
  - main.tpl (if you want to modify the default template located in /include/template/)
  - redirect.tpl (if you want to modify the default template located in /include/template/)
  - maintenance.tpl (if you want to modify the default template located in /include/template/)
  - base_admin.css (if you want to modify the default style of administration files)
  - /images/
    - image1.jpg
    - image2.png
    - ...

I think this would be the best way to handle it

No offense, but I don't see a point in changing the .tpl files. Someone would have a greater chance of "messing" up the validation process. This is a style competition, almost everything, if not everything can be done through the .css files. Lets not forget they want it to be lightweight and friendly, this means there is no need to put all this JavaScript and flash stuff. I do agree with you though that the folder containing images should be located in the style folder.

There's no obligation to change the template but the competitors must know that it is possible... Sometimes it could be usefull to change a little the templates (not with Javascripts or other Flash objects but by moving, replacing or even adding parts in the pages...) while creating a new style

I still don't see the point of touching the template.

Franz · 2010-01-18 20:18:54

Well, the simplest example is having the status bar with "logged in as XXX" etc. at the very top of the screen - changing and moving things around. Also, I think there are some cases where you might want to add another <div> - what comes to mind here is a footer bar that's always aligned at the bottom of the screen. Also, this is a must-have feature for custom themes, for example when integrating them into the site or just adding an extra image etc. (no need to edit the default template).

And if we wait a little, I'm sure Paul can explain better...

I understand now lol. Didn't see the point of it because my vision of it is how is right now just with "fresher" colors and so on...

Franz · 2010-01-18 22:48:43

Good point, though. That's exactly what we're trying to encourage: having diverse styles that are different from the standard not only in colors...

Lirodon · 2010-01-19 04:03:12

This is what I'm currently working on so far, its not done yet, but it's looking hot.

Reines · 2010-01-19 11:14:45

Looking good

For some countries PayPal works in one direction

Looks hot but I find post icons a bit too big

I'm fixing that. Heck I might just change them to glyphs.

It's your style, your entitled to do what you want

Paul · 2010-01-19 23:53:49

That would be my suggestion. The only reason for the css icons is because the style was written to be graphics free. If your style uses graphics you might as well go the whole hog and have graphic icons to match.

Lirodon · 2010-01-21 03:30:25

I already got a request for a CSS class addition, if the Closed highlight in the topics list gets its own CSS class, why not moved?

And also, another preview

I'm still having issues with the new bigger post buttons I rigged up, but if any of these and other quirks can be adjusted in the "tweaks" you may make, that's fine with me

I've added that and made things a bit more consistent, see the list of changes in the main topic

orkneywd · 2010-01-30 15:35:25

I'll need to update to the latest Trac version before submitting but thought I'd post up my work-in-progress entry Trying not to deviate too far from the original Oxygen skin, though this will be easy to change colours as it uses so few:

Forum:

I'll work on it some more tonight and may have a few class requests though think most I needed have already been added to trac.
