EasyRead

[jeshyr]

Theme name/layout: EasyRead / Tabula Rasa
Author: rb
Layout info: CSS is available at http://notdoneliving.net/dw-easyread.css
Image info: Has no images

You can see this layout being used at my journal rb.

This very plain/simple layout is optimised for users who have low vision and use very large font sizes (think >36 pt, I usually use 128pt fonts) when reading long slabs of text. As you can imagine, most styles totally fail to be usable at these huge font sizes.

I have no knowledge of S2 or how to convert this theme into a "proper" DW style, and no spare energy/spoons/brain cells to learn how. afuna said to post it anyway and somebody else may do the converting for me so here you are! If anybody'd like to volunteer to help, please please please feel free :)

I set this up by choosing Tabula Rasa with no sidebars and pointing the CSS at the file above, I don't think there was anything else? I'd really like the stuff in .module-section-one to come out *above* the main content but I don't think this can be done with just CSS, I need the HTML output to be in a different order - hence the need (I think) for a patch.

Please somebody let me know if I have totally screwed this up! As you can see, I'm rather short on confidence here.

RB, dear, how does this look?

http://afuna.afuna.dreamhack.afunamatata.com/?s2id=150

With regard to moving stuff to the top of the screen. That's all displayed at the top of the page by default. Is it too much? Should we move some of the stuff to the bottom, do you think?

[jeshyr]

Mostly great but WAY too much up top. Does it still have the module 1 up top and module 2 down bottom or do you have to set it for good?

At the top I'd put just the profile and page summary. Those are useful before you read.

At the bottom the links, tags, and navigation.

Don't put the rest on at all, people can add a link to (eg) calendar page if they want a calendar, etc etc.

YOU ROCK!

Does http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/attachment.cgi?id=2304 incorporate the changes you showed to rb? I can't see where if it does... If not, can you pass it to me, and I'll incorporate it in the Latest! Most Improved-est! EasyRead Patch! I'm going to try to generate tomorrow (or after tomorrow, if you don't get back to me tomorrow, as you might not, since I have no idea of your schedule.)

PS. I noticed http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1768 is still assigned to me; assign it to yourself, when you submit your patch?

PPS. Thank you for being so awesome, and grabbing EasyRead!
