So, to get to a conclusion; I think we should *not* discuss whether or not drupal.css must be there This is a very sensible approach :)
My first idea is, drupal.css must contain * No colours, nor background colours, unless they greatly enhance useability. Well, black, white and shades of grey are colours too, but certainly keeping the colours neutral would be a good idea, I have grey calendar styles in box_grey theme that might be adapted for the archive calendar...
*unless* a page will break without them. I tried designing a theme without drupal.css and ended up putting most of drupal.css into my theme stylesheet, to a large extent I believe things will break if you just remove most borders, padding, floats etc as you describe.
Certainly there is some cleaning up that could be done but at the end of the day Drupal is a big complicated system and it's going to need big complicated stylesheets to theme it. Everyone agrees drupal.css should be tidied up, I suspect the main reason there has been no progress on this since January is that no one found the time, I know that's been my problem, and remains so. Another point is that drupal.css does not exist in isolation, it's styling xhtml that's output by Drupal, if drupal.css is crufty it probably reflects, in part, on a mish mash of approaches to markup that have evolved as Drupal developed. -- adrinux (aka Adrian Simmons) <http://adrinux.perlucida.com> e-mail <mailto:adrinux@gmail.com> AOL/Yahoo IM: perlucida, Microsoft: adrian@perlucida.com
