Can anything be done with the SEARCH box or the links in the TOOLBOX?

What would happen with the tabs at the top of the page?

How will the top NAVBAR interact or affect the tabs at the top of the page?

Has it been decided to keep the STATUS REPORT link? I noticed it with the updated look.

Wouldn't different colors within each section give it a more diverse look?

Also, will the BADLANDS site be updated as well?

The Search box may be able to be modified as well... Unsure at this time. The Toolbox is located in a different section, but once we find the proper coding, may also be modifiable.

The Tabs along the top would probably remain unchanged. There IS the possibility of placing the horizontal LCARS Bar as a background across the top, but that would probably interfere with the current Red-to-Black "Rolled" Background. As it's being worked on now... The NavBar would strictly be for common/ most used links... At least on the Major Pages. You could probably modify a bar for Your use on your pages (using the "User:Rdoyle/directory" type of NavBar.

For the Sandbox purposes, I'm figuring on the MSR staying around for a while longer, in one form or another... So I made a graphic for it.

As far as different Colors... Depends on how we have to rework the coding.

IF this works for the Main site, the Badlands site will probably be updated too for continuity. Hardly ANYONE knows it's a different site.

Places to go for ideas...

Sorry-- I tried to post this from gmail but somehow gmail stopped responding just after midnight. Here is what I managed to save...


Yeah, I played around with super imposed graphics a while back. You might take a look at http://wiki.maquis.com/w/Cell:MFS_Compliance/sandbox/2 and see if the code I used contains anything to inspire you.


Another idea might be to create a vertical narrow navbox and simply place the link to that in the sidebar. I was playing with that concept a while back also over in the Badlands. Take a look at http://wiki.maquis.com/badlands/w/Template:Bynar . It is rough and unfinished but you might draw some inspiration from that one also. There is a variety of color combos I was playing with.


Curious. Will we have to lose the red blend to black in the background of the sidebar when you implement this? You also might want to explore alternate LCARS color palettes instead of overusing the same exact ones you are using for member and cell pages. Too much of the same thing may get boring and lose appeal.


You can reply via your original mail list thread if you'd prefer.
