Beautify WebKiosk #7

Open vaidik opened 11 years ago

We have already made an effort in fixing the IE problem with web kiosk, I believe there is more that can be done to improve web kiosk.

One such thing is beautifying web kiosk. It is possible to create a Chrome plugin that will insert a custom CSS file in a web page to override that web page's CSS rules. There is already a plugin that does something similar for HackerNews: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/georgify/ofjfdfaleomlfanfehgblppafkijjhmi?hl=en. Installing this plugin overrides HN's actual CSS rules and improves the aesthetic feel and usability.

I think similar stuff can be done with Web Kiosk as well. It won't become perfect but the usability can become better. And this can go in the backpack plugin.

Let's plan a hack tonight. Also, let's have some input as for the design now!

I'll start with the login screen. It isn't terribly wrong even if that's because they didn't have a lot of room to go wrong there. The ghastly graphics must go, and let's make the form pop out a little?

I'm thinking of replacing the background with one of the better images of our college and the form inside a translucent box on top.
