= !BluePrint for CSS =

Original Sahana CSS documented here: [wiki:DeveloperGuidelinesCSS]

We have moved to a full page design to allow maximal screen real estate to be available for list views & data entry. Ours is based on:
 * http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perfect-full-page.htm
 * This was inspired by the work done on Sahana PHP: http://demo.respere.com/dnn/
 * Link on doing soemthing similar with the default web2py menu: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/ecffcd0427af0fec

The CSS could still do with some cleaning up to remove unused styles.

CSS can be tested in different Internet Explorer version using:

We should include alternate layouts which different views can inherit from (common areas included into these to be DRY):
 * Site home & Module homes act as portals, which require 3 columns:

Maximal usability ideas:
 * http://www.alistapart.com/articles/progressiveenhancementwithcss

Replace the current menus with Breadcrumb-style Chevrons, e.g.:
 * http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/usa
Enhance these with dropdown menus, like in T3:

=== Right-to-Left theme ===
Ideally this should be as simple as:
{{{
body {
    direction: rtl;
}
}}}

=== Print View ===
Provide a view which allows for better Printing
 * CSS sufficient? ({{{media=print}}})

=== Mobile View ===
Provide a cut-down version for use on low-screensize, low-bandwidth devices, such as Mobiles
 * CSS sufficient?
 * http://mobiforge.com/Designing
Use the RESTlike CRUD controller's ?format=plain

=== Icons in Menus? ===
