Customize commenting UI
-
I am building a site on the WP platform. And my designers want to ‘harmonize’ the look and feel of the commenting UI with our overall identity. Is there a place / FAQ / spec sheet or similar page where I can find what CSS or other attributes are ‘styleable’…? A link would be very appreciated!

Don’t be insulted but I’m not sure where to start so, have you looked here?

I think it’s important to know that wordpress.com is a WP-MU blogging platform. The themes here were almost all originally coded to run on free standing wordpress.org software installs. In order to run on wordpress.com software they were “adapted” and some features were eliminated, as this is a WP_MU blogging platform we cannot access and edit the underlying php and html in the templates. The themes we use here are all derived from shared templates. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.
there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support so you must be prepared to do the work on your own. wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.

As TT suggests, there is no “standard” that governs what things are labeled in the CSS. Each theme designer decides what they are going to name things in the CSS and in the markup.
You will have to look through the markup and the CSS and figure out what controls what. If you are using Firefox, the Aardvark, Firebug and Web Developer add-ons will make this job easier. Aardvark is the simplest with Firebug and Web Developer increasingly complex although a little time with them will get you running.

Thanx all – that was fast feedback, I guess most of my query has been answered. Apprciate it!
