I believe this is what Karoly had in mind:
1. No theme('page',.. for the permissions page 2. Link to admin pages (since the page is not themed) 3. Diagonal text for role names (to prevent sideways table expansion) 4. Checker board for permissions checkboxes
The tabled cells for the diagonal text was rather obscure, so I suggested that GD could be used used to generate the diagonal text. I'm not sure that its a good idea, but I've made a mockup.
Notes for the mockup: 1. Header is a graphic 2. Check all box (javascript) 3. Fixed width form (to match header)
That's _exactly_ what I had in my mind (though the text is diagonal'd the other direction. Ie I thought to go from from top left to bottom right.
Screen readers will get ALT texts for images -- the role names themselves. Every role name will be a separate transparent image (IE only has problem with 8 bit alpha channel PNGs or so I think).
That mockup is beautiful. Comments, please!
I don't like the idea of having text as images. Doesn't scale. Also, if you scroll down onthat page, you still won't know to which role you are assigning perms. I think my solution is simple, accessible, and solves all problems. Cheers, Gerhard
