Default Portal Colors

The Main and Menu colors are too close together. The Links blue does not show up very well in most of the backgrounds. I suggest going with a completely different theme. There are multiple styles assigned to this page. try them out and see which ones you like. View -> Page Styles -> We need to include some in the portal eventually but right now the current one sucks.

We need to rethink the names of styles. What kinds of things are on pages? menus, forms, supporting forms, reports. I propose we use .main as the main style for a page (which we are already doing) but use secondary or support or some other name for other forms. In the portal you are currently calling this .cell and .cellTitle. We should have a convention for negating the styles. .negMain or .mainNeg. Instead of cell and cellTitle you would use secondary and secondaryNeg. The colors wouldn't neccessarily be negative--it's just a naming convention.

Or maybe this is all too complex. what if we have classes based on importance. main would become primary, then secondary, tertiary. The colors and styles would be assigned to those. the portal desktop would use these instead of cell, and cellTitle. the apps would use these on forms and divs for layout.

A word about tables We have to STOP USING TABLES for layout. I am going to go through xiwa and remove all the tables that are used for layout as I implement color schemes.
