UI Cafe

Let's share local improvements that we've been able to make.

I got most of these from others in the community: the button-formatted links from Berkeley, renewed hope that the Resources/Checked buttons were accessible from the skin when I saw the UWinnipeg had done it. But it took months, and maybe we can make this easier. Please add to this page - KM

Here's our version of the Sakai Resources page, with four easy-to-implement local modifications detailed below:

*Manila-colored folders: Implemented OOTB v.2.4

Button treatments for three categories of links, formatted in tool.css:
This many buttons isn't elegant, but our users often miss important functionality if it isn't brought to the fore.

.navIntraTool a,.navIntraTool a:link, .navIntraTool a:visited
control the formatting of the links under the tool name at the top of a page.

.itemAction a,.itemAction a:link
control links associated with an item in a list: in the page above, Add, Revise, and so on next to each resource listing.

.navIntraToolLink input
formats the grayed-out remove checked/move checked, etc. boxes.

I wanted to link to relevant code examples, but the wiki langauage and css syntax are getting in each others' way, so
here's our tool.css code:
