Description

As part of creating a new, clean skin for 4.4, I think we should aim at having a proper skinning API. We should try not to focus only the design, as this is a subjective matter and will never please everyone (see discussion about new login screen in 4.3).

So that proper skinning can happen, a clear separation should be made between the parts that do the scaffolding and the design proper.

Scaffolding will rely on:

  • HTML templates
  • structural CSS

Design will rely on:

  • "Clothing" CSS
  • Icons

There should be clearly defined ways of changing those parts: where to place files, naming conventions, method calls to use, etc.

This is a very short and rough analysis, but I think it should be a guiding principle for the revamping of the TYPO3 4.x skin.

I am closing this issue since the "new" skin goes exactly in that direction. Re-open the issue if you think something is missing.
