As per Gabor's request in http://drupal.org/node/148084, this patch will remove all inherit's and reset the LTR values for RTL.

Please review carefully... it is very difficult to test this for sure, while there are sooo many other unfixed bugs in current core RTL themes.

There was one line in garland style.css that looks not like RTL value.

-  padding: 18px 0 0; /* LTR */
+  padding: 18px 0 0;

I verified this with TopStyle CSS Editor and this means:

top: 18px;
left: 0;
right: 0;

So i think - this is not an RTL value... and i have removed this for now.

Thanks hass. This is very much appreciated. Now, to verify this patch does the same as the inherit's intended (so they have the same effect as the misused inherits were supposed to be), one only needs to go through all CSS files and check whether these are the same values. Visual theme testing can come after that.

Thanks hass, thanks Gabor for your efforts.

I have a part in making the misuse of css inherits, so thanks for helping with the remedy.

I have tested this patch by doing the following:

  • Checking all values by looking into CSS structure.
  • Verifying some using Firebug.
  • Visual testing in most places.

I must add that IMHO, there is no way to make this fix sound. There is no way to make the CSS rules work for all HTML structures. There will always be cases where this will not work. For this reason, I ignored what looks like a non-clean RTL'ing of some rules in Garland, in favor of good visual.

I have done a couple of fixes(forum, color.module), new patch attached. Also added an image (will send by email to Gabor).

Not sure if I should make this RTBC, but on my account it perfectly is.

Thanks. The changes looked good to me, so committed. I also noticed you used hook-rtl.png, but the image was not attached, and not in my inbox, so I flipped the hook.png file with Gimp.
