[edit]Agora adds mw-ui-vform that triggers vertical (block, width:100%) layout for its contents; the core forms also use a mw-ui-content area and have selectors within that to turn off Vector's h2 underline, remove Vector's border on forms, etc.

[edit]Gerrit change 55847 put the Agora CSS into core MediaWiki in resources/mediawiki.ui starting with release 1.22wmf2.
It also changes the Login form to use Agora mw-ui-buttons and mw-ui-vform to produce a vertical form layout.
Gerrit change 57823 builds on this to convert the Create account form to a vertical form layout, also opt-in, e.g. Special:UserLogin?type=signup&useNew=1

[edit]Prototyping extensions to Agora design
- Agora-style checkboxes (Gerrit change 74662).
- Pau Giner designs with revised button colors and underscore on hover.
- Flow prototype with revised buttons and bar for input focus rather than glow.
2013-09 monthly
[edit]Work progresses on new Agora design spec (see draft) incorporating the revised buttons and input focus from the Flow prototype, and more. This will involve
- bug 54360 to implement this in
mediawiki.ui - also update MobileFrontend to use it
- eventual goal to generate desktop and mobile CSS from same LESS files.
Other work
- Typography and left-hand nav changes in Vector skin (Gerrit change 79948)
- Decision to use LESS rather than Compass/sass to generate CSS. The ResourceLoader can generate CSS from LESS source files on the fly (bug 40964).
