Development Information

The GnuSkinPluginDev provides a public forum for discussion regarding the GnuSkin and its plugin.

Primary goals include:

Issues the current release, v1.0, will address.

• Basic skin compatible with most browsers: Mozilla 4.xx-6.xx, Lynx, W3M, Links, (X)Emacs/W3 and maybe even Internet Explorer.
• Looks, "skin deep" design à la The Hurd web pages.
• User configurable everything, as far as possible. Therefore the TigerSkin's WebMenu parser is integrated.

Secondary goals:

These design goals will go into the v2.0 series of the Gnuskin.

• Quicker.
• Lesser files.
• Smaller.
• Extended configurability - Edit all of the webmenu, change topmenu, etc.

Syntax Rules

• WebMenuFormat for details on how to write a WebMenu

ToDo

• Simplify, simplify, simplify!
