Patch Check List

-- Usage rights (resource credits, credits in HTML or CSS comments, dw-free or nonfree)

-- No tabs

-- No trailing spaces


Styles (general):

-- Always set layout_authors

-- Tabula Rasa child whenever possible

-- Supports all column modes whenever possible and at least one one-column

-- Support all options from Tabula Rasa

-- Custom props sorted into existing propgroups using _child

-- Custom props also sorted into existing /customize cats in the style.pm file.

-- Custom props follow naming standards

-- Check everything, everywhere. In particular don't forget: non-default column modes, modules in every available position, community accounts, unusually short or long elements (subjects, tags, titles, entries, comments, usernames,...), userpic stuff (no userpic, non-square userpics, smaller userpics), collapsed comments, bottomcomment area, reply page, quick reply, icon page, pagination links (reading, archive, comments and icon page), contextual pop-ups, navigation strip, page text (sometimes only visible when there are no entries on the reading page).


Themes (general):

-- Alphabetized themes

-- Two blank lines between each theme

-- Props separated by headers (Presentation, Page Colors, Entry Colors, Module Colors, Fonts and Images, in this order. )

-- Alphabetized props within each cat.

-- theme_authors if theme author is NOT style author. Otherwise no.

-- No empty props


CSS (general):

-- If TR child goes into function print_stylesheet () for styles. Otherwise goes into function Page::print_default_stylesheet.

-- Theme-specific CSS goes into function Page::print_theme_stylesheet()

-- No broad resets

-- Comment headers

-- Indents

-- Shorthand


Colors:

-- color_page_text in every theme

-- No half foreground/background combos (e.g. text color without background color)

-- Matching foreground/background combos (such as entry text color on entry background color)

-- CSS link colors in this order: a, a:visited, a:hover, a:active

-- Shorthand for color hex codes


Fonts:

-- Single quotes around font names with multiple words; no quotes otherwise.

-- No font_units settings if no font size set too.

-- No hardcoded font names

-- No hardcoded font sizes (some exceptions allowed)


Images:

-- No color profiles

-- Color-indexed PNGs whenever possible. JPGs with a lower res are sometimes a good alternative.

-- Common images in /commons

-- Follows naming standards
