Quills should take advantage of the UI elements Plone 2.1 as opposed to clobbering them with its own layout and styles.

State
in-progress

Motivation

Quills 0.9 currently stands out from the Plone UI, and not in a good way.

Proposal

We basically need a template and CSS audit covering:

* Portlets - none of these should require any custom CSS
* Weblog View - With a few exceptions like trackback elements, this should mimic the defailt News Item or Document view.
* Weblog View - Look at news.pt view or Smart Folder views and improve upon it. Edit buttons should be removed.
* Archive/Drafts view - Same as Weblog View

Risks

Previously customized Quills deployments will have to adjust to the template changes.
