Re: [orion-dev] LotD: editor style shots.

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anton,

Thanks for the mockups.  I was aware that colours can be modified - although I haven't tinkered with much of that myself (offering themes would probably be how I'd try that out).  

Although the editor now looks different, things like the navigator still look (err, how do I phrase this nicely...), a bit crude .  Not in terms of colours, more in terms of the boxes/arrows/icons - not sure if their just too big for my tastes, or there is too much clutter, or what it is. I just don't find the orion navigator layout as appealing as something like the one in the koding editor.  Do you know if there are plans to allowing theming to that extreme?  If I change the CSS do I have the level of control to change that, or would I need to do real programming?

cheers,

Andy

Hi Andy,

The JS Editor is programmed to accept different themes. We also have a settings page at the moment that allows you to change the current settings on the fly without coding. For instance here's a screenshot of the editor how I like it:

(See attached file: screenshot.png)

And a stab at a dark one like Koding:

McQ's post on this thread has me thinking to 'can' a few themes including the default one. I might see if I can do that quickly. I should also be able to allow a user to link an externally hosted css file.

To see the settings part you can go to the settings page in the user menu.

Does that answer your question? We're only really beginning to use settings. I'm working now on integrating them with the plugins.

I just wanted to pick up on this thread...I was going to raise it on
the call but we were short on time.

Is the plan that Orion becomes theme-able to the degree that I can
configure it into something that looks like, say, http://koding.com
(just as an example). Or am I really only going to be able to change
things that radically if I reassemble the orion parts in my own
'product'?

I guess, personally, that is the question I've been wrestling with
lately: is Orion going to be my IDE in the future, or is it going to
be something built from the reusable pieces.

cheers,
Andy
