[Chameleon] table-less CSS layouts

Hi list,

another topic which has probably been discussed inside of DMSG :)

Chameleon has a lot of HTML code that contains tables. There seem to be a
lot of benefits in trying to switch over to table-less HTML, where
everything can be controlled through css, even (re)moving of elements.

Maybe with this case, every widget could get its own css file, or you
could stick with keeping one big css file for all of the Chameleon
widgets/layouts.

Have there already been discussions on this? It must be a hell of a job to
implement this, but it would definitely be an asset for the system in my
opinion. Do you guys consider this an option, or is it considered
impossible or unwanted? If it is considered an option, it might be good to
put up some guidelines for this, which can be followed with the creation
of new widgets.

This would be the long-term solution to maintaining a different
look-and-feel to the Chameleon GUI (instead of overruling the popup phtml
page for a widget, a previous thread on this list).

Best regards,
Bart
