This way, the CentOS +web environment has one unique name (the CentOS brand) and one unique +visual style (the CentOS default theme) for all its visual +manifestations, the web applications in this case. + +Since a maintainance point of view, achiving the one unique visual +style inside CentOS web environment is not a simple task. The CentOS +web environment is built upon many different web applications which +have different visual styles and different internal ways to customize +their own visual styles. For example: MoinMoin, the web application +used to support the CentOS wiki (@url{http://wiki.centos.org/}) is +highly customizable but Mailman (in its 2.x.x serie), the web +application used to support the CentOS mailing list, doesn't +support@footnote{The theme support of Mailman may be introduced in +mailman-3.x.x release.} a customization system that separates +presentation from logic, similar to that used by MoinMoin. + +This visual style diversity complicates our goal of one unique visual +style for all web applications. So, if we want one unique visual style +for all web applications used, it is innevitable to modify the web +applications in order to implement the CentOS one unique visual style +customization in them. Direct modification of upstream applications is +not convenient because upstream applications come with their one +visual style and administrators take the risk of loosing all +customization changes the next time the application be updated (since +not all upstream web applications, used in CentOS web environment, +separate presentation from logic). + +To solve the ``one unique visual style'' issue, installation and +actualization of web applications ---used inside CentOS web +environment--- need to be independent from upstream web applications +development line; in a way that CentOS web environment administrators +can install and update web applications freely without risk of loosing +the one unique visual style customization changes. + +At the surface of this issue we can see the need of one specific yum +repository to store CentOS web environment customized web applications. + +@subsubsection Design model (without ads) + +@subsubsection Design model (with ads) + +@subsubsection HTML definitions + +@subsubsection Controlling visual style + +Inside CentOS web environment, the visual style is controlled by the +following compenents: + +@table @strong +@item Webenv header background +@verbatim +trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png +@end verbatim + +@item CSS definitions +@verbatim +trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Promo/Web/CSS/stylesheet.css +@end verbatim +@end table + +@subsubsection Producing visual style + +The visual style of CentOS web environment is defined in the following +files: + +@verbatim +trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Xcf/1024x250.xcf +trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png +trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250-bg.png +trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Tpl/1024x250.svg +@end verbatim + +As graphic designer you use @file{1024x250.xcf} file to produce +@file{1024x250-bg.png} file.
