D&D 4E Roll Template Update?

Has anyone started working on adding custom Roll Templates to the D&D 4th Edition character sheet template? It looks like it hasn't had a check-in for almost a year. Thanks!

The original author (Alex L.) has not been active in over 5 months. I'm not sure if anyone else has worked on it in the mean time, but if not it might be time to look for someone to take up the mantle and modernize it.
It would be nice for the sheet to be updated, be it to add themes, or update the sheet for the new coding options available with the latest update.
I second this. At the very least, id love to have the new roll templates for the 4e sheet, they look so nice

Someone may have to do the work themselves and release a second, updated, version.

I'm taking up the torch on this one. I'm starting to tinker around with the sheet which is a beast. Not sure how long it will take I'm new to HTML and CSS and I want to give you a good looking template. My goal is to emulate the power format from the books. If any one has any suggestions post them here and I will try to accommodate them.

Consider the layout HoneyBadger has done for his power cards script; it's fairly similar to the power card layout from the 4e books (initial version of the script was only designed to be 4e power cards, but he's since made it more generic). I realize it may be difficult to pull all of the HTML and CSS you want out of that fairly monstrous script, but it's something to consider. Alternatively, I believe the 5e sheet has a roll template that is somewhat similar to the 4e power card layout. Not exactly the same, but similar.
It would actually be a bad idea to look at my css, because I am forced to work entirely with inline css and have no access to classes or id's. There are plenty of css templates for 4e style power cards on the web. Just do a little googling and look at css and html on those pages.

First update, Not doing too bad. Thanks for the hints! Here are a few pics of the out put I have so far.
Those look just like the attack cards in the handbooks, pretty great. When will they work for the 4e sheet/ is there anything special we'll need to do in order to see those, like make the attack a single line or anything?
