@t-boom did a quick sweep and notices some missing parts in the CSS chapter. We also need to figure out if the CSS information in the Wiki contains information that should be ported to the guide.

  • Explanation for dimensions seems to ba lacking
  • Explanation for box helper function seems to be lacking
  • No explanation of functions like removeClass, toggleClass, hasClass, or select on Nodes
  • No explanation of more complex selectors (using infix functions and whatnot)
  • No explanation of String literal selectors
  • No reference to what classes and properties are available by default

I felt like I missed a few things on CSS. I can try to go through it later although it might be a week or two after I start my new job. You guys are welcome to improve it especially if you have a clear outline of what needs to be added.

I have a feeling my involvement with the guide will be increasing again, because there are a lot of folks wanting to learn TornadoFX where I'm going.

That sounds perfect, Thomas! So happy for your involvement in this project, it means a lot.

In addition to more complex selectors, it's probably a good idea to show how to use selectors for things other than classes (i.e. elements, IDs, and pseudo-classes).

@t-boom You know this subject better than me, so feel free to make changes to the guide for this chapter if you like. I can look it over later.
