SV: Suggested changes to default styling to 'refresh' the look of ResourceSpace

Here is a screenshot from GreySpace which I mentioned above. Maybe I should
try to polish it a little bit and upload it somewhere? I would appreciate
some feedback!

Best regards,
Henrik

It would be a good idea to bring the css of the *space plugins into the base
themes.
If we use WhiteSpace or some other theme as the default is no big issue for
me. But I agree with Tom that WhiteSpace could need some refinement before
it is set to be the default theme.

Dan’s proposed solutions for the listed issues seem to be okay.

I think ResourceSpace should have a grey theme as well. I think a neutral
grey is the best when working with photographs. I was working with
“GreySpace” last year, but I didn’t finish it to production quality.

Best regards,
Henrik

dimensionality that appeal to me. It adds dimension yet remains clean.
