Have you ever wondered what are the major font types, sizes, colors, and images for SharePoint 2010? This post will cover some of the major statistics that are related to SharePoint Branding.
This post originally spawned the topic of why SharePoint uses PT’s for font sizes when PX or EM’s are much better. Kyle Schaeffer created a very nice post about why you should use one format over the other: http://kyleschaeffer.com/best-practices/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs/.
Over 75% of all font sizes declared in the standard SharePoint 2010 base style sheets use a font-size in Points.
Example: font-size:8pt;
Below are some other interesting statistics when it comes to other SharePoint 2010 support file statistics.
Server Side Files: Not surprisingly there are a lot of images that are used to make SharePoint look the way that it does. The number would be slightly larger if the sprite images were broken out. There a ton of CSS files and what surprised me most is the amount of unique master pages. There are three main master pages for SharePoint 2010 (v4.master, minimal.master, mwsdefaultv4.master). The main three CSS files are (COREV4.CSS, controls.css, search.css).
Server Side Files: | Number |
Images | 2,950 |
CSS Files | 98 |
Master Pages | 30 |
Publishing Page Layouts | 16 |
Template Details: The standard templates that come with SharePoint are majority collaboration/content based templates and meeting workspaces.
Template Details: | Number |
Site Templates | 26 |
List Templates | 14 |
Library Templates | 8 |
Font Family: It is interesting to see that majority of all fonts in SharePoint 2010 are Verdana and Tahoma. There is really no elements that use Arial at all.
Font-Family Corev4.css: | Number |
verdana | 41 |
tahoma | 16 |
Segoe UI | 8 |
sans-serif | 1 |
Other | 12 |
Font Size Types: This to me was very surprising. There are 68 instances of “PT” used just within the corev4.css file.
Size Type Corev4.css: | Number |
PX | 969 |
PT | 68 |
EM | 72 |
% | 63 |
Font Sizes: Majority of all of the font sizes used are 8pt. The second largest is the 1em which is equal to the 8pt specified as the base font size on the body within the corev4.css file.
body{
font-size:8pt;
}
Font-Size Corev4.css: | Number |
8pt | 47 |
1em | 20 |
1.3em | 7 |
1.1em | 6 |
10pt | 5 |
11pt | 4 |
1px | 4 |
1.4em | 4 |
16pt | 1 |
inherit | 1 |
Other | 30 |
Base Colors: This was hard to track real good numbers as there was no good way of finding all of the top used colors. What you get out of the bottom table is that all of the main base colors are either dark or light blue. The main hyperlink color is the “#0072BC” color.
Colors Corev4.css: | Number |
transparent | 85 |
#FFF (White) | 83 |
#0072BC (Light Blue) | 41 |
#000000 (Black) | 34 |
#FFFFFF (White) | 28 |
#003759 (Dark Blue) | 24 |
#91cdf2 (Light Blue) | 12 |
#83b0ec (Light Blue) | 11 |
#3b4f65 (Dark Blue) | 10 |
#005372 (Dark Blue) | 10 |
#4c4c4c (Dark Gray) | 10 |
#666666 (Dark Gray) | 9 |
#23272c (Dark Dark Blue) | 8 |
#6f9dd9 (Light Blue) | 8 |
#44AFF6 (Light Blue) | 7 |
#5d6878 (Blue Gray) | 6 |
#003399 (Blue) | 6 |
Display: Majority of all of the elements that are displayed are inline-block or block. It is interesting that over 20 elements are using the display:none element. This might be because of things that use JavaScript to add in inline CSS to make the what was hidden element visible. Such as drop down menus or other dynamic elements.
Display Corev4.css: | Number |
inline-block | 56 |
block | 46 |
none | 21 |
inline | 13 |
table | 1 |
Float: The stats on floating elements give you the impression on how many elements are floating and could have potential display issues with your custom branding.
Float Corev4.css: | Number |
left | 39 |
right | 18 |
none | 6 |
Position: There are more absolute positioned elements than relative.
Position Corev4.css: | Number |
absolute | 22 |
relative | 19 |
fixed | 2 |
static | 1 |
Image Types: As noted below, GIF files still lead the pack in file types but PNG files are making a strong upswing due to better browser support, transparencies, color values, and file size. I am pretty surprised to still see BMP files in the list.
Image Details: | Number |
GIF | 2,026 |
PNG | 883 |
JPG | 24 |
ICO | 11 |
BMP | 4 |
Image Sizes: I am happy to see that majority of all of the images used in SharePoint are below 10KB. There is one that is 26qkb but has many icons included in it (formatmap32x32.png).
Image Size Details: | Number |
0-10 KB | 2,852 |
10-100 KB | 96 |
250 KB + | 2 |
Overall SharePoint 2010 has come a long way of updating the CSS, Images, and files to get them to the 21 century. However there are still a lot of changes that I would like to see in SharePoint 2015.
