Deprecated - Usability feedback

(For unknown reasons I was unable to submit this as an issue for the Drupal project...)

In misc/drupal.css, the following style defininition...

li a.active {
  color: #000;
}

...should be:

li a.active, li a:link.active, li a:visited.active {
  color: #000;
}

Without the added pseudoclass definitions, the active menu item will not display in the intended color in IE browsers, thus making it harder for users to see 'where' they are in the book or taxonomy menu.

[Drupal version: 4.6.2]

So I was reading about a great little gmail greasmonkey extension today: http://hirevito.com/greasemonkey/humanegmailautosave.html

Then I had a great idea, why not implement this in Drupal?

I can't find the post now but recently someone was showing off the use of Ajax for a site that lets you change the theme with drag and drop. While I hope to see this type of functionality enter Drupal soon, there is a simpler route that could maybe be easier to implement. Either through themeing or a module, is it possible to create an "admin view" where every block, primary link, node and any other variables get an "edit" link next to them for quick access to edit the variable?

As a suggestion for this mixed user base... can you change the Date format throughout Drupals site to something like ddMMMyyyy example:

I just looked at a theme date and it is: 15/04/2005 - 22:15 ( http://drupal.org/project/blix )
Which I image it is April 15th, 2005

Please spell out the month... even if it is in the middle: 15APR2005

US and Europe can both understand the dates better if you follow that convention.

Please give feedback... this is a serious issue that should not be overlooked!

This message concerns integration of ECto and DRupal. The specific aim is to upload images into the inage directory, within the path system directory, 'files'

If you are using MovableType or TypePad, you can optionally enter a directory in the "Upload into subdirectory" field. This should be relative to your weblog directory

I have been unable to find any drupal discussions related to THEME design that addresses the idea of a THEME with two right hand (or left hand) columns, where the main content would be in a third (larger) column pushed left.
