 This page hosts the detailed specification for the [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/sahana3/+spec/css Blueprint for the CSS Cleanup].
 
-The CSS could do with cleaning up & updating.

-The appadmin page's top menu doesn't look too nice:
+The CSS could do with cleaning up to remove unused styles & some updating to give us maximal usability.
+
+The main CSS file is: {{{static/styles/S3/sahana.css}}} with some supplementary styles in {{{static/styles}}}.
+
+
+The styles are separated into different folders depending on which layer they come from, to ease debugging & maintenance as framework components get updated.[[BR]]
+For production installs ({{{t2.debug==False}}}), they get consolidated into two file for faster downloads: {{{static/styles/S3/sahana.min.css}}} & {{{static/styles/gis/gis.min.css}}}[[BR]]
+This consolidation is done as part of the [wiki:DeveloperGuidelinesReleaseProcess Release Process].
+
+=== appadmin ===
  * http://127.0.0.1:8000/sahana/appadmin/
-Rewrite code so that design, state, db are the module options & return these & the list of enabled modules.
-[[BR]][[BR]]
-For development purposes, we keep all CSS files separated for ease of maintenance.[[BR]]
-For production installs, we should consolidate all into a single file for faster downloads.
- * Browsers default to only downloading 2 files at a time, so many files is very slow on high latency links
-Part of the [wiki:DeveloperGuidelinesReleaseProcess Release Process] will be to do this consolidation.
+Web2Py's appadmin (Database administration) inherits the Layout of the application.[[BR]]
+Our layout isn't designed to accomodate the 3 menu options in the top-right: design, state, db[[BR]]
+2 possible solutions here:
+ * rewrite {{{controllers/appadmin.py}}} so that these 3 are the module options & return these & the list of enabled modules.
+  * means more maintenance work whenever this is updated upstream
+ * rewrite {{{views/layout.html}}} & {{{static/styles/S3/sahana.css}}} to move the appadmin way of doing things
 
-There were several components which aren't currently relevant & so have been removed:
- * {{{/static/styles/sahana_old.css}}}
+== Sub-menus ==
+Currently the left-hand navbar has only 2 levels of hierarchy: Modules & Module Options[[BR]]
+Some modules (e.g. DVI) need more.[[BR]]
+This is also discussed in the BluePrintFramework
