I figure this question is probably better suited for this list than mailman-users.

Has anyone looked at adding style sheet support to mailman? I've hacked it into my installtion, since I really need the mailman pages to have the same look-n-feel as the site the lists are related to.

I contributed a number of patches in this thread to the SourceForge repository about 15 months ago or so. They didn't use CSS (since I dislike CSS and/or the way people use CSS and/or the degree of control my web browser gives me over interpretation & rendering of CSS), but they did enable considerable customization of look and feel. I don't think they've gotten past the 2.0a5 release I wrote them for, though, and I don't have the time to update them -- it's unfortunately more economical for me to have a disintegrated Mailman site than to keep my patches up to date with a CVS version I can't afford to run for real lists. :)

The problem is, the support I've hacked in for now only takes care of the page background and some basic colors. It looks like it will be *lots* of work to change all of the dynamic elements (banners, tables, etc). I

My patches cared for color schemes and banners, primarily.

If anyone wants to find them on SF and update them for current Mailman, please feel free. At the time I wrote them, development was going too fast for Barry to consider and integrate the patches *or* for me to keep them up to date, so they're somewhat behind now.
