[Owncloud] improving OwnCloud javascript theming/templating

[Stefan Nagtegaal]

Of what *exactly*would you like me to file an issue?
- the annoying and mostly overused absolute/fixed positioning of owncloud, which makes theming even harder for the average user?
- the fact that the generated HTML from the javascript files is not themable?
- the separation of style vs function between CSS and JS?
- the problem of having every app implement it's own (inconsistent) version of commonly used regions, for returning things like notifications, controls, content?
 
IMO it would be *much* better and a lot cleaner if we would implement Google's Bootstrap for the default styling. It's easy for everybody to work with, gives us a solid and proven base to work on, and implements everything owncloud needs to give it a clean, solid and cross-browser UI.

90% of the Javascript owncloud core implements, is available in the default bootstrap package.

I'm not completely sure what you mean.

Kind regards,


Stefan
