Description
The current theme used on chiliproject.org could (obviously) be better. The following bullets show that there is a need for working on the theme:
- #164 claims that the font colors are not easy to read.
- #96 reports problems with the table of contents in wiki pages.
- #77 had a vivid discussion on icons and even contributions.
- #118 proposed a first draft on how mobile experience could be better.
- There were several issues more on broken/missing wiki styles.
I believe that the work on the theme is blocked as the theme is not part of the official ChiliProject repository.
I understand that this topic is not in the center of the focus of many people, as there is a lot of other and higher priority stuff out there that need a lot of careful attention. However, there are people out there willing to work on the theme even before we have the completely new layout and theme in release 2.0 and before we have a logo and colors.
Therefore I propose adding the currently used theme to the repository so that people can send pull requests.

The theme repository exists where pull requests can be sent to: https://github.com/edavis10/squeejee_theme. I don't think including the theme is necessary for bugs to get fixed on chiliproject.org.

I don't see how it would hurt: people wanting to run the same theme as here can just switch, people wanting to contribute don't have to check out yet another repo thus lowering the "cost of entry", and it wouldn't change the default theme. In other words: I'd rather have it in the same repo.
If we don't merge it to ChiliProject, I'd still like to have it under chiliproject/squeejee on github and have it linked more prominently on the how to contribute pages.

I agree with Felix.
- I believe the theme should develop over time and therefore be under control of the ChiliProject organization on github.
- I think we should have the goal to make installation as easy as possible. Adding the theme as a git submodule is not what I consider being easy.
We should even consider calling it differently. "chiliproject.org" could be the name until it might become the standard theme for new ChiliProject installations

How about adding a feature so the user can use custom themes?
Made a feature request #294

User (or admins in this case) can install whatever theme they like. See Themes for more information.

I tried to add the above theme you specified to my ChiliProject installation. But this is totally different from what I see at chiliproject.org.
ChiliProject has pleasant white colors, while squeejee theme has dark backgrounds.
The chiliproject.org theme should defenitely become the default theme of ChiliProject. This will also give the difference between redmine and ChiliProject look and feel.

You need to use the chiliproject.org branch. It modifies the original theme for chiliproject.
This theme however is just used as an intermediary, until we have our new default theme ready See #263 for that.

Didn't notice the chiliproject.org branch. Thanks a lot for information.

After thinking about this a bit more, I've changed my mind about including the chiliproject.org theme.
- I've heard from enough people that they wanted the theme
- The other themes are pretty basic (default, alternative, classic) and
- I'm going to need a theme with some changes in order to test out how it works with #263
So as of 1.4.0 this theme will be an option the Administrator can select. c4658bd
- Target version set to 1.4.0
- Assignee set to Eric Davis
- Status changed from Open to Closed
