# campsite-for-kanboard

An Basecamp-inspired css-only themes for Kanboard. Extremely small size.

Many thanks to CSS Milligram UI, milligram.io and Basecamp for their inspriation.

Font in use: Valera round Regular (from Google font)

## INSTALLATION

Unzip the whole thing into your plugin folder

That's it.

Edit the skin.css file to start theming. :)

## Theming objectives:

UX-focused, if an user takes a look, and intuitively understand how to use, then we are good :). For UI, borrow from Basecamp :D

1. Only use CSS, minimal disruption to the code.

2. A modern card-based theme

3. Simple (I like simplicity, but kinda dislike minimalism)

4. Informal & Fun (If you are adding overhead to other people's work, you gotta make it Fun and Enjoyable)

### Pros:

1. Fun to theme

2. Learning by doing CSS

3. Improve UX of kanboard (ofc)

### Cons:

1. I'm doing this for fun, so my coding style is quick and (extremely) dirty

2. Change in nameing style could break the whole thing.

### A few useful UX tips (for me)

1. Out of sight, out of mind

2. Do not suprise users

3. People generally HATE to fill in forms.

4. You add more...

## Logic from user's point of view - to improve theme

1. Kanboard is project oriented (duh?)

2. Users click links/menu/navi -> expecting page reload and take them to somewhere

3. Users click buttons -> expecting something to happen

4. Users click tabs -> expecting page layout to stay the same, only the tab content change

5. Card should provide a few (3) information, not a lot. (this is subjective)
