I'd *assume* that most skinners here have already taken a peek at the very least (or even attempted to edit it) of Zetaboards' CSS.

With IF about 99% of you are used to it appearing in this format:

Style A
Quote:
 
form { display:inline; }
img  { vertical-align:middle; border:0px }
BODY { font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #69788E; margin:0px 10px 0px 10px;background-color:#FAFAFA; min-width: 795px;
max-width: 1400px;}
TABLE, TR, TD { font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #69788E; }


The other 1% might find that so annoying they edit it themselves to look like this:

Style B
Quote:
 
form {
display:inline;
}
img  {
vertical-align:middle;
border:0px
}
BODY {
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #69788E;
margin:0px 10px 0px 10px;
background-color:#FAFAFA;
min-width: 795px;
max-width: 1400px;
}
TABLE, TR, TD {
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #69788E;
}


Then of course the Zetaboards CSS is split up. The top half deals with the style only. The second half contains the structure (padding/margins/widths etc) which I know a few of you do bother editing.

Style C
Quote:
 

/* Style ******************************/

img  {
border:0px
}
BODY {
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #69788E;
background-color:#FAFAFA;
}
TABLE, TR, TD {
font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #69788E;
}

/* Structure ******************************/
form {
display:inline;
}
img  {
vertical-align:middle;
}
BODY {
margin:0px 10px 0px 10px;
min-width: 795px;
max-width: 1400px;
}


Therefore question is...which does everyone prefer? What do feel comfortable using? Note that this isn't a poll I'm doing on behalf of ZB. The CSS for ZB will be staying like it is. What *I* need to know is which CSS styles to post :angel:

I may have skinned ZB but I didn't realise until editing a test board for myself how long it takes...and when you think "grr my padding isn't working...OHHH its somewhere near the end of the style sheet :( *searches*...*searches* Ah finally there it is! :D"

Disclaimer: The ZB css is sexy and yummy...I mean no harm towards it :r

A. It's always just seemed more logical to me. Everything's there, and easy to spot.

B has the same principle, but i feel it's just wasting space. :/

Style C, much better, since I can find stuff easily on that because of the space amount. The thing I really like is how it's formed. They're grouped, which is gewd. so... yeah ftw. <3

but I couldn't really judge because I don't skin

Either B or C.

C is nice and structured and I guess makes skinning for new skinners easier. But I guess you could argue with style C, people are more likely to edit your skins as it would be easier.

When creating a skin, I prefer to use B or C, but for skins being posted, its just as easy to use Style A, as it rarely needs to be readable.

I prefer A, it seems much cleaner and easier to spot things.

I prefer the A too for the same reasons as Leonardo and also because I guess I'm more used to see it around. :P

B, but I tend to do it something like this:
Quote:
 
body {
[tab]margin: 0px;
[tab]padding: 0px;

[tab]border: 1px solid #123456;
[tab]background: blue;
}

Where [tab] = 4 spaces.

So structure on top and styling beneath, but within the same brackets. It would probably be more logical to put structure underneath though.

I use B nowadays.

I never knew ZB used min-width and max-width, I've used min-width on my latest skin.

I'm most comfortable with using option A. It's what I'm used to from IF. More compact and easy to find things. :)

I'm with Nephos on this one.
I find it much easier to locate specific things if it's structured well and clearly organised.
C is great in principle, but in reality it means you have a lot of code to sift through which wastes time and space.

B, most definitely. C is good in theory, but could be a bit annoying when adding new coding in or something, where you'd have to decide what goes where.

But B is comfortable, doesn't waste space and is very well organized.

A or B.

I've always used style A and B isn't really anything different.
