Request for css for Fedora cgit installs

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings. 

As I have noted on the devel and infrastructure lists, we are looking
at migrating away from gitweb-caching in all places it's currently
installed and replacing it with cgit. 

I've already got cgit enabled and live, and we hope to remove
gitweb-caching and redirect it to cgit on 2012-07-31

The following places are affected: 

http://fedorapeople.org/cgit/
http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/

Currently we are using the default/standard css that ships with it. 

You can see for example:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/
has nicely customized the css 

I'd love to have something for our sites too if anyone is up to the
task. ;) 

Either just a simple css we could use for all 3 places, or if someone
is feeling daring, 3 seperate ones that fit with each of the sites to
differentiate them. 

Thoughts? Any one interested in working on this?

Hi Kevin,
put me on the list :)
I will try to find some time to give the sites a nicer layout.

Hi,
I took a look on the gnome css and started working on it, pushing the
files on github [1].
The css file structure seems nice, but reading deeper there are a lot
of duplicated classes and ID's, not according to a clean codec.
I also noticed that the Gnome guys inserted a lot of new classes,
rewriting partially the html code.

My idea is a little bit different, the migration dead-line is very
near and unfortunately I've no time to review the whole site.
I suggest a review of the basic css file, this can produce a more
comfortable layout too, but if there is anyone willing to give me a
help in rewriting all the stuff, he's/she's welcome.

Finally got to looking at this. ;) 

I like it. 

it's simple, but it looks pretty good and loads nice and fast.

Really? :) :)
I updated the css files now, cleaning them of unused stuff and inserting
the images we need. I corrected also some margins.
I think more than this I can't do for now, unless we decide to rewrite the
page, inserting it in the cgitrc file. In this case we can decide to use
also a 960 grid layout or include a more useful footer, ecc ecc.

The files are on my github account, if you like them I could push them also
into a new branch to track the commit, I let decide the group admin's about
it.

Cheers

ok. I have pushed these out to the sites... so folks should be able to
look at them 'live' and see if there are improvements or adjustments we
could make to them. 

I know Ryan wanted to work on this as well, so adding him to CC here
for feedback. If there's changes/improvements or another, different
setup we should try, please let me know.

Suggestions from irc: 

ajax> nice!  only thing i'd tweak is to put the diffstat box on
the /commit/ pages in fixed-width font, which might just be because i
normally only see diffstat in a terminal so i think it looks weird
proportional

<gholms> nirik: Does it look bad without the gradient?
