To make the permissions page easier, we should rotate the header (role names) so that the checkboxes are not so far apart. Attached is a patch which does that in Safari 4. It is not degrading gracefully or working in other browsers yet.

When the checkboxes are closer together, we should add a kind of "hover" state that hovers both the current column and line.

Tagging, quicksketch should see this. We will need grids, with this approach.

Well it definitely looks neat. :-) There's also a bit of talk about trying to use canvas to rotate the text. Following to see what people can come up with.

Well, this was my idea. Canvas Text API would indeed be better than CSS transformations but then again, maybe in Drupal 8. Right now Firefox 3.5, Chrome 2 and Safari 4 support the canvas native text drawing APIs which are quite the same as those that support CSS transformations (dunno about Chrome, though) so why bother with Canvas text?

I thought about using Canvas text API as well, but given a even smaller set of browsers supporting it I decided to use CSS transformations in the first iteration. It can probably be made work with Internet Explorer as well using the proprietary CSS filter rules. Canvas would also require a lot more code than CSS transformations.

Any CSS gurus wanting to continue this :) ?

-moz-transform will be supported in Firefox 3.5. Looks like Safari's webkit is the only engine that supports text rotation via CSS3 currently.

FF 3.5 will be out WAY before Drupal 7.

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.

Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!

Version: 11.x-dev » main

Drupal core is now using the main branch as the primary development branch. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted to the main branch.
