I think it would be a super cool idea to have a gallery for profile styling.
It should be an entire new section that's kind of like the paint gallery and photo gallery and groups mixed together.
We'd create our own CSS styling for sample profiles (what I mean by that is like a regular ol profile, with with default stuff, like John Smith kinda default). It should be organized like groups as well, with custom titles, and it should also be organized by most recent (or maybe we can choose interchangeably, like most recent, most popular, A-Z, last updated, etc).
In terms of group implications, we'd have a title text box, body text box, and CSS styling text box at the bottom of the sample profile. The body text box can be a description that would go in the "Biography" section of the sample profile.
There should also be options to save as draft/hide from public, allow ratings and comments, and delete.
Ratings and comments would be available (and optional), and it would go as a 1 - 10 rating (1 being bad, 10 being excellent, in terms of styling)... I thinking overall ratings should go on the sample profile too, maybe somewhere under that "Profile For BlahBlahBlah" tab. Commenting for added feedback, and that can go where normal profile comments go.
These should be organized within the section (like groups), that would go something like thing:
My Styles
This is a collapsible button
Sample Style 1
Sample Style 2
Sample Style 3
——————————
Create New [ This is a textbox for titles ] [spoiler=Create!]Create button[/spoiler]
——————————
Public Styles [ Sort by... ](dropdown menu)
Sample Style A
(by @user1)
Sample Style B
(by @user2)
Sample Style C
(by @user3)
The purpose is to share stylings with other members since I know there's always a user wanting a spiced up profile.
Something I think would be awesome to do is to be able to send that styling to a user, and it would automatically be entered into their CSS styling in their settings. Of course, it would be sent as a voluntary invitation via notifications, where the receiver would be able to view the styling and preview it in their profile, then select "Yes" or "No" if they want that style.
Are you saying this is an intellectual property thing? I guess, but something like this is exceedingly easily stolen, so I think something like Noncommercial Use, Share-Alike would be more fitting.
Also, if a style is being displayed, why should it be requested to be used? It's literally copying a CSS file, and that can be done with any device with Inspect Element on it. It would make more sense to just let people copy, but attribute it at the bottom.
(Also, priority and hour estimate bugs fixed :tada
