I appreciate the effort to provide a better level of documentation
at the objectstyle confluence site. However, I'd have to say, I
like the look of the wikibook a lot better (even though it wastes
space on the LHS). Is it possible to give a confluence site a
better look, or is this locked into confluence?
Yes.
One way is to use auto-export plugin - you can achieve advanced
custom formatting (and also improve rendering performance). Cayenne
site for instance is 100% Confluence-based: http://
cayenne.apache.org/ The catch - auto-export plugin hasn't been
upgraded yet to Confluence 2.5 API. But I am sure it will be at some
point (and I may even try to reach the developers on that).
There's also a way to tweak live Confluence CSS. Unfortunately this
has to be done on the server directly (see below)
One problem is the font. I think it is being killed by anti-
aliasing making some characters look semi-bold (eg a, y, h) and
thus ruining the reading experience. If I make the font size bigger
(command-+), it does not look so bad, or smaller seems to get rid
of the anti-aliasing. Does anyone know what font this is (can't see
it in the "view source")? (Looks like some wacky Microsoft font.)
Looks alright printed, although I'd rather a serif font for printed
material.
Agreed about the fonts. Check the CSS attached to the page - the
fonts are defined there. If somebody wants to design a better one,
you can get the HTML sources from the site, tweak the CSS, and post
the static mockup somewhere. If it looks good, I can load it to the
server. Just do not reformat the CSS file too much, so that I could
build a patch against current CSS, and use it for the future upgrades.
