This should make Windows PCs look a little nicer, albeit inconsistent with others (Sergoe UI is unique). If it's good enough for GitHub, then it's good enough for October.
All text shadows have been stripped, along with some box shading. They were barely noticeable and should speed up the UI.
This is a relic from when select2 v3 had no mobile support, we use select2 v4 now that has been tested with mobile/touch devices.
Refs #108
Clean up some white spaces
Removed the harsh title on popups
Anything considered an "overlay" now uses a box shading effect
The account menu now uses lighter shading
Introduced highlight states, allowing hover + active to behave independently
The datepicker now handles timezones and locale mainly on the client side. When a user selects a date/time, the value is chosen in their timezone preference, the script will then convert the value to the application timezone (UTC) for storage in the database. The reverse is true: when the value is loaded, it is converted from UTC to the user preference. The entire process is seamless. Dates are also formatted in the locale preference.
Example scenario: This fixes the issue when selecting the blog post published date. In some cases, the date could be set to 24th April but the server time is 23rd April, so the post appears unpublished against the user's intent.
There is still some issues around DATE and TIME column types stored in the database. It is best to always use TIMESTAMP/DATETIME to retain the timezone conversions. DATE will reset the time to 00:00 UTC which can cause issues and TIME does not play nicely with Carbon at all. We should still try to add support for these columns in the datepicker, even though they are not recommended.
Added a helped Backend::DateTime() for rendering the appropriate HTML output as a <time /> tag
The meta now specifies the locale and timezone preference used here
Lists now take advantage of this to display dates relative to the timezone and language (awesome sauce)
@todo Still need to get apply this logic to the datepicker form widget
