Usable TechBase layout

Thursday, 20 December 2007 | Jaroslaw Staniek

Too many KDE folks refuse to use http://techbase.kde.org/ because it breaks blocks of code.

You can however make it usable. A hint just for you:

[jstaniek] btw, I've improved http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/PIM a bit, and have 'windows port' column [jstaniek] does not use oxygen wiki style which actually causes usability problems with blocks [marc_kdab] oh, you can switch the style? [marc_kdab] how? [marc_kdab] that could actually make the wiki readable :) [marc_kdab] hates fixed-width formats in websites [jstaniek] marc_kdab: ah, so I should blog about this; too many folks complain... and I talked to danimo @ akademy but... well... [jstaniek] (same for websvn, btw) [marc_kdab] yes, and the apidox [jstaniek] marc_kdab: login -> my preferences (on the topbar) -> skin tab -> monobook [marc_kdab] oh, sigh, login... [jstaniek] marc_kdab: y, you can set permanent login [jstaniek] hacked his wiki page with readable breadcrumbs, eg. "News->Kexi Releases-> Kexi 2007.1" and forced reasonable width (http://kexi.pl/en/News/Kexi_Releases/Kexi_2007.1) [marc_kdab] ahhh :) [marc_kdab] mediawiki look [marc_kdab] files a request for mediawiki to remove styling :) [jstaniek] the oxygen style is great but also breaks mediawiki skin rules a bit - e.g. we have even no kde logo defined for the web site... :)
