[Typo3-documentation] Stylesheeet - gave up ;)

[Peter Kindström]

Ooops, I realised that we have 4 different skins to take care 
of. I have just talked about the MonoBook skin!

I want headers that looks like in a newspaper - space above, but 
(nearly) no space under. That is more readable, since you get 
more consistend paragraphs and more distict spaces between them.

The Standard skin is already done like that! And the Cologna 
Blue is almost done like that so it is just MonoBooks that need 
this header adjustment!

It is too much. Most design tips suggest one or maybe two colors 
in addition to black, grey and white. Of course there are 
exceptions, but mostly this concept is an easy way of getting 
nice looking web pages.

With your suggested CSS I get 4 colors, at least in my browser: 
Body, borders, links and menu background...

Hmmm, IMHO is the old MonoBook look more like typo3.org! If we 
just changes the menu background color to that used on typo3.org 
(EEF6FF)

No!
In your CSS the icons after links in MonoBook are missing and 
the links in the footer are the same as the footer background... 
so they are invisible!

And your CSS "mess up" the other skins by adding too much space 
to the left of the content.
