The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Tornóci László <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I think 'shared docs' is a great feature of sympa in a university 
setting. I noticed I can add a description to files in expert mode, 
using the 'properties' link. That's great. However, this info is sort of 
hidden. I think it would be an extremely useful feature to let users to 
see the description while in user mode they are hovering the pointer 
over the name of the file (like tooltips work in many applications). Or 
am I missing something? The way it is, properties are not very useful, IMHO.

I have another note about color setup. I have looked at many sites using 
sympa (listed at http://www.sympa.org/users/custom). Most sites use the 
default color setup of sympa, that looks sort of dull (at least to me). 
There are also sites that changed the color setup, however, many of 
these use unappealing, harsh colors. I think all of us know, that sympa 
is usually set up by sysadmins, the types, who are interested in the 
actual _content_, and not so much in the looks. However, acceptance of a 
service depends very much on how it appeals to users. So to put is 
short: a few nice looking css color setups are really needed, I think. I 
spent an hour or so trying to modify the default setup, and I came up 
with something that is very far from perfect, but I can live with. Here 
it is:
