tentative: call for consideration/input/community involvement

[barro...@gmail.com]

This just a spark for something better.  I expect a more formal and detailed thread with supplant this one...

Jeremy had mentioned this during discussion about logos...

Meanwhile, when I look at TiddlyWiki 5 I see a few areas where a skilled designer could bring improvements that might benefit all users:

* The “Snow White” theme is pale and lifeless, and doesn’t use typography well

* The “edit template” is jumbled and confusing, with no clear visual hierarchy

* The TW5 default colour palettes are a good start, but not great

..., but I’m much more excited about the other areas where skills like yours can bring so much more value.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Sounds like a call for action if you ask me...

Barro...

The CSS in TW basic is basic. CSS has evolved a lot since then.

You might want to look at work by these folks if you haven't already ...

On colour palettes look at ...

They don't redefine Snow White but all give good insight into TW CSS.

While this doesn't tackle the specific aspects that Jeremy brings up, TW should probably be based on grid (good intro video). This would be a fundamental CSS change on which the other design aspects would (should) rely on.

AFAICT, grid even matches tiddlywiki on an "ideological" level where the semi-independent grid items are to the grid as tiddlers are to TW. Very appealing.
