Awesome work Elijah. :-)

I think if you have 'float: left' or 'float: right' elements inside a container element, the container (in standards browsers) has no height, resulting in losing backgrounds, and it's normal block level behaviour. This is the opposite in IE, ironically.

I've already compiled a small list of issues, separate of the Optimal Usability guide that we can probably accomplish. However, that guide in itself does outline a large portion of work to be done.

I'll be in touch next week,

Cheers,
Sean

Great, I look forward to hearing from you.

Until I hear from you, I will begin working on some of the "Critical" issues identified in the Usability report beginning with "#63 'Create new draft' button should be shown when 'Drafts' is clicked":
http://www.elijahlofgren.com/silverstripe/usability-to-do-list/#63

If I get that one done before I hear from you, I may start on "#48 Delete and Move Files buttons need repositioning".

Let me know if I should increase the priority of any of the issues.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Elijah

Here is a patch that fixes the left frame resizing issues for the 'Files & Images', 'Newsletters', and 'Security' sections:
http://www.elijahlofgren.com/silverstripe/patches/sidebar-fix/Fix-sidebar-resizing-problems-indented-cms-gsoc-r36620.patch

I have applied this patch to the gsoc branch of cms in SVN revision 36623.

I'm marking "#10 Left Frame Legibility when width adjusted" as complete:

Let me know if you find any more problems. :)

Thanks,
