Hi,

by buxy's request, here comes a reminder....

[11:38] <zobel> zack: one think to remark: i like the "compact rendering" best, how do i tell my browser to take this CSS by default when opening PTS pages?
[11:39] <zack> zobel: no idea
[11:39] <zobel> set cookie information? *hide*
[11:40] <zack> no way and unfeasible
[11:40] <zack> pts pages should be static
[11:41] <zobel> set "compact rendering" the default style? :)
[11:43] <Ganneff> nnooooooooooooooo
[11:44] <zack> zobel: compact had an arbitrary color scheme (one of moin's theme)
[11:44] <zack> the current one has debian social colors
[11:44] * zobel wanders of and tries to find out if javaScript could do it.
[11:45] <zobel> s/of/off/
[11:47] <zobel> i just find the compact rendering a clearer schema
[11:50] <HE> I have to admit that the compact CSS is nicer, but that's mostly because i hate the "official" debian colors
[11:59] <zobel> zack: is http://www.alistapart.com/stories/alternate/ helping us with that?
[11:59] <zack> zobel: don't know and EBUSY right now
[12:01] <Ganneff> zack: that goes against "PTS pages are static" as you need javascript and cookies and stuff
[12:02] <kmap> zobel: GreaseMonkey? (/me doesn't know much about it though)
[12:03] <Ganneff> zobel: that goes against "PTS pages are static" as you need javascript and cookies and stuff
[12:03] <Ganneff> (damn z* nicks)
[12:04] <zobel> Ganneff: the "static" thing is more about the load of the webserver. which should not increase if we have a js selecting a css.
[12:05] <zobel> perhaps loading one more file...
[12:05] <zobel> which is static anyway.
[12:26] <buxy> yeah, that javascript thing look workable, it doesn't depend on any server-side generated content
[12:26] <buxy> though I'll leave that up to zack, zobel you might want to file wishlist bug for that with the pointer


TIA

Thanks for your help, I just implemented this on the PTS and integrated a
form to switch between style on the top-right corner. It works with some
javascript magic to auto-submit on change. For the javascript-impaired,
the same form is on the homepage but this time with a submit button.

Javascript is also used to select the currently active style in those
forms.

Immediately available on http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dpkg.html and in
a few hours on all pages.

Cheers,
