[RFC|Merged] Remove prosilver styleswitcher

[igorw]

The styleswitcher is, in my opinion, quite a useless invention. Adjusting font sizes can be done by the browser.

Removing the styleswitcher has been discussed several times before, in the prosilver modernisation and jquery topics, but also on IRC. It would make sense to discuss this issue separately and make it official.

I'd like to get rid of the styleswitcher.

Ticket: http://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-10260
Patch: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/pull/271

If this gets accepted, I'll create a ticket and make a proper patch with properly formatted commit message. EDIT: done.

+1 from me too

I'm not sure if anyone even use it anyways. I know that some styles remove the that font resize button anyways.

Adjusting font sizes can be done by the browser.

Will proSilver use relative font sizes instead of pixels by default? Currently, everything is relative to 10px, so the only way to "resize" fonts is through the styleswitcher or using zoom.

The 10px is only for setting the default, so all browsers display the same size. Apart from that prosilver only uses relative.

I think that the image prosilver/theme/images/icon_fontsize.gif should also be removed, I looked at the patch and it wasn't removed.
