Boxes improvements

 Default Dialog Boxes 

They're used for login, for delete, for a variety of other things too.

Problems
  • it s not the same on my mac and on my windows machines
  • I feel like these boxes don't fit with the skin, they look like nobody ever cared about them
  • right now they "don't fit" and feel weird

Login

Delete

 Implementation 

The boxes are defined in a specific macro

#xwikimessageboxstart()
#xwikimessageboxend() 

The <html> containing element is <fieldset>. Change it to <div>

 Notes 

*we should make the register look like the Login

    • we could add in the Login Box, the Register part: "Register | Forgot your password?"
  • Texts:
    • "Remember me"; "Remember me on this computer"
    • "Forgot your username or password? " What are the chances a user forgets his username? We could change it to "Forgot your password?"
  • Make links distinct
    • blue on Links, Table header, (Restore, Delete) actions
  • Buttons
    • set styling for principal action
    • can you cancel the action?
