A few random notes and ideas

[nilshoerrmann]

I think this can make a really great Markdown editor for Symphony and I'd like to help improving the interface. These are a few random notes that came into my mind while trying it out:

1. The buttons are quite blurry and need makeover (I know that you use the default Github ones, same problem there)
2. It would be great to have the Markdown syntax help available (in a localisable way)
3. It would be nice if the toolbar could stick on top of the page if I scroll down so it doesn't get out of sight
4. As Symphony normally doesn't use modal boxes, what about centering the overlays to the related textarea?

It think I have images and styles floating around from another project that could be used for 1. and 3.

What are your plans for this extension?

Sorry for the late answer, just went through old messages in my inbox...

1. Yep, those are just the regular Github icons and I'm happy to swap. Additionally it would be nice to allow the developer to add new buttons with custom functionality and choose or define sets of buttons (not different icon sets, but types of buttons).
2. Do you mean a per instance customizable help or a general help, translatable via the normal language files? The latter is will of course be supported.
3. Sounds god.
4. Sounds good to, or it could be a tooltip-like bubble at the cursor position or when some text is selected.

I have no timeline or concrete plans, but the goal is to have a lightweight, customizable and cross-browser markup editor.

Just posted an updated and only addresed 1. and 4. Keep this issue open to not forget the other ideas.
