Welcome to styles and design!
Contents
Styles and Design Areas
Here are the kinds of tasks someone can do in styles and design:

- Creating public mood themes
- Testing and revising draft styles in
![[info]](http://wiki.dreamwidth.net/wiki/extensions/LJ/images//dw/user.png)
dreamscapes
- Converting submitted CSS styles in dreamscapes to S2 themes
- Developing S2's capabilities and backend work, like adding modules
- Documentation
Places to collaborate or get help
- The official styles community, where you can read announcements from the team and ask questions, is dw_styles.
- The official community for submitting styles for consideration to be included in the system is dreamscapes. You can go there and submit drafts of intended system styles you'd like help with, and you can also help out others with their styles.
- There are also some auxillary help communities: style_system and layoutmakers. These are appropriate places to ask questions about the style system and share resources.
- You can find tools to help you develop Dreamwidth styles at the_style_kit.
- You can share unofficial styles here: dreamwidthlayouts.
- The IRC channel #dreamwidth-dev is available for real time communication and you can often find styles team members there or in #dreamwidth; for more information on using IRC, see the IRC and IRC help wiki pages.
- Here is a list of style bugs on Bugzilla; you can read more on doing development in particular on Dev Getting Started.

S2
Currently, the S2 documentation is kind of sad and out of shape.
- S2 Guide and S2 Cookbook -- our work-in progress guides on S2
- LJ's old S2 docs -- these have some useful information.
- People already familiar with S2 might be able to glean things from the core2.s2 code.
- People familiar with S2 and Perl might be able to glean more from the S2.pm code.
CSS
We currently have a little help for S2's CSS available here:
- S2 CSS -- a listing of the current DW specific CSS classes for layouts
For exploring CSS, we also recommend the following extensions:
