Subject: RE: Logo, about box
Hi all,
I played with the colors and got this:
http://people.apache.org/~deweese/newcolors.png
This is my color block from skinconf.xml (note that I couldn't change
the 'selected' text in the menu, I think this is supposed to be controlled by
'toolbox' but it doesn't work for me):
Hmm, that is correct. Taking a look at
/main/webapp/skins/pelt/css/profile.css.xslt
You will see :-
<xsl:template match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]'toolbox']">
#menu .menupagetitle { background-color: <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>;
color: <xsl:value-of select="@font"/>;}
</xsl:template>
As it is being processed by this xslt, if you trying to see differences by
Refreshing in a webapp, you wont see them, you need to stop/start jetty
To see them.
You could, instead, try adding the color property to the /pelt/css/screen.css
And add it into the #menu .menupagetitle directly and see if it works for you
Then, but colours are not normally added in here (this changes with forrest
0.8-dev version).
Also, it might be worth adding in a 'tab-unselected' entry into skinconf
To change the backgrounds of the unselected tabs, maybe to the lighter
Putple of the logo so these too will blend in better.
Where are you guys playing with this ? I could not see it in SVN anywhere where
Others could see the code you are playing with. Once done, how are you planning
On updating the website? Forrest has a /site/ directory in SVN where a built
Site gets deployed. From there it is grabbed with a cron job with the main
Forrest website space being a working copy.
