So I’m back to work at Fathom as a subcontractor reskinning a sharepoint interface. The css file is a massive 5400+ lines. Its written in several styles of short hand and thats just the core.css file. Then there is the IE style sheet which is chuck full of IE only fixes and hacks. Its mostly trial and error getting the right selector; without the search feature in FF dev bar this would be impossible.
All told I think I’ll spend about 2 hours designing the interface and 10 hours putting it into the css file. That was the original estimate, but I think we’re going to end up more about 12 by the time its all said and done. Guess We’ll know later. I’m off to tattoo.
