Hi, not many themes have been contributed by the community for recent versions of phpMyAdmin. Maybe theme conversion could be a part of one GSoC student's project?

I thought that code generation was a mandatory requirement of GSoC, and CSS does not qualify since there are no predefined semantics...

Not sure what "predefined semantics" means, I'm too old ;)
IMO (and in the Wikipedia definition of CSS), CSS is a programming language; anyway I asked the google-mentors mailing list about it, to see if we can get an authoritative answer.
Note that I wrote "could be a part", not the whole project.
It could be a part of improving the whole theme handling altogether. I think theming would be way easier if the CSS would be split into 2 parts.
- Base CSS: All CSS Code that is unlikely to change (e.g. left frame <=> right frame CSS) - Theme CSS: All CSS Code that is likely to change (Colors, Fonts, Images, etc.). This is being loaded after the Base CSS, so that it can still overwrite it.
Currently you need to edit a ton of CSS Code in order create a theme for PMA. If the theme css however is reduced to a fraction of the code it become way easier to edit it, I think. Besides that, a cleanup of the css code would probably also help a lot in reducing the size.
And finally it might be worth looking at other languages like Less ( http://lesscss.org/)
Just some ideas :-)

I was about to send you guys an email for removing the iframe implementation and creating more of a http://dserban.github.com/cdl.rosedu.org/design-b/ stylesheet, it would much faster!
Thanks, Sirbu Nicolae-Cezar IRC: sarbull

But if you're talking about removing frames, it's already done in the upcoming 4.0 version, see http://demo.phpmyadmin.net/

Hi Tyron,
frames are gone from master... Also, in master some work has been done, to extract specific CSS (like jqplot.css.php) and put it under themes/pmahomme/css only.
But I agree that it remains some repeated code in the two common.css.php files.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Sorry, my example was poorly written. What I meant is the CSS handling the general layout of the page, like the left navgiation box, since it is unlikely to change.

Hi Marc,
If I'm eligible for GSoC 2013 (unfortunately not :( ), I do not like to involve with CSS project for 3 months. I don't know how much time consume to this task for new bee, but if we need to offer this idea, better to offer as one part of an idea.
Apart from that, do you think that the student who select this kind of idea will extend their contribution, with only CSS knowledge in PMA ?
Regards !

No; that's why I wrote "could be *a part*".
