## <a name="Small_ToDo_list_for_the_GnuSkin"> </a> Small ToDo list for the [[GnuSkin]]
**_Introduction:_**
Please use the TWiki:Plugins/GnuSkinPluginDev topic for discussions regarding the GNUskin.
The leading theme for all my work was given to me by my English teacher at university. He said; "Writers always do too much. The beauty lies in short concise sentences." To make it easier for us to understand he paced the lecture hall and repeatedly stated:
_Simplify, simplify, simplify!_
There is a book written on this emphasizing my point even further. The book is brief and straight to the point. If you don't believe me, read [Elements of Style](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0205191584/paradigmonlinewr/102-3410829-5714537) by William Strunk & E. B. White.

**_Latest News:_**
2003-03-02: [[GnuSkin]] 1.2 is released! Download from TWiki:Plugins/GnuSkinInstall
CVS available from Savannah, <http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/twiki-skins>
Development is progressing smoothly. If you would like to see the latest [[GnuSkin]] you can visit my personal web below. I do not make any promises on user experience or even if the site is up and running w/o bugs ... beware of bleeding edge!
* <http://joachim.vmlinux.org/twiki/bin/view/>
Use the sandbox for tests and fooling around.
### <a name="Branch_1_x"> Branch 1.x </a>
Oups, some bugs and suggestions for improvement just arrived.
* In IE: Go back in preview after changing something in a topic. The changes are lost.
* The link to [[WebSearch]] was lost from the Go/Search field.
-- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 19 Mar 2003
### <a name="Branch_2_x"> Branch 2.x </a>
Before I start working on this I must upgrade my home TWiki installation...
The new 2.x branch (becomes head after release of 1.2) intended for TWiki:Codev/BeijingRelease will contain mostly the same code as the 1.2 release. With a few small additions:
**_Pending:_**
* I18N fixes for the 2.0 release. The Beijing release prompts this, see TWiki:Plugins/InternationalisingYourSkin. Stefan has supplied a patch below! :-)
* _Roll back to topic revision X_
* Perhaps delay this after 2.0?
* Other adaptations for the Beijing release of TWiki?
* Read up on TWiki.org
* Enable checkpoint save from preferences setting.
**_Fixed:_**
* Another bug related to 01Feb2003 release. EDITBOXSTYLE is not supported by [[GnuSkin]]. Modify edit.gnu.tmpl and add style="%EDITBOXSTYLE%" to the textarea tag and it will work with automatic edit area just as the TWiki skin. Same HTML as in `edit.tmpl`.
* FIXED. <br />Reported by TWiki:Main.StefanLindmark - 24 Feb 2003
* Add option to turn preview mode off.
* Perhaps delay this after 2.0?
* Added to 1.2 using the savemulti scipt by Colas. The user can now select either to preview or directly save any changes made, or cancel them altogether.
* Blue and Green skin style is available - add other complementary colors as well. This is useful to contrast with the web colors!
### <a name="Future_releases"> Future releases </a>
* Separate the side bar, the [[WebMenu]], from the [[GnuSkinPlugin]].
* After 2.0!
* Look at some neat DHTML scripts for the [[WebMenu]] and the More button.
* Disable per default - document howto include them.
* Consider enabling these through a preferences variable.
* Parametrisize more.
* User configurable everything, as far as possible.
* The top logo could perhaps be removed altogether, and/or be more user customizable.
* Fix the CSS stuff - one should be able to use a style sheet that "matches" the chosen web color better. (matches/complements/whatever).
* Use customizable menu. Be able to use the standard TWiki menus?
### <a name="Comments_and_User_Supplied_Patch"> Comments and User Supplied Patches </a>
This brainstorm topic for the [[GnuSkin]] was mostly for myselft, but has proved probably useful to others as well.
-- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 17 Feb 2003
I18N modifications required to use new I18N features in TWiki incorporated into templates. Please see attached diff file for diffs againt [[GnuSkin]] CVS 2003-02-18.
