Sckin Customzing

Hi,

Great to hear you like the software!

To change the appearance of net2ftp, you can edit the CSS files (skin1-blue.css, skin2-grey.css, ...). 

There is also skin-related code in /includes/skins.inc.php:
- Function getSkinArray() contains the list of skins (name, CSS file, icon set)
- Function getSkinColors() contains skin-specific colors (for example the color of the row cursor on the Browse screen)

Initially I wanted to put all the skin code in the CSS files, but the row cursor onMouseOver effect on the Browse screen proved to be too slow... so I had to find an alternative.

We're currently looking into a templating solution like Smarty, which would make it possible to change the entire look of a page -- but it's still in very early development ;-)

If you have any other question, let me know.

David

if you have interests i can send you the entire vhcs template engine and some samples how it works. it is very simple to work with it and PHP and HTML codes are 100% separated. The template engine is very compact (only 18k) and fast and suppots also all needed tools for webdevelopment.

I can help to make net2ftp into html templates too.

I will be great to hear from you again :-)

cheers
alex

p.s.
hmm, may be is not bad idiea if we separate the template engine form our software, write the docu for it and post the project in sf.net

thank you for the informative post and keep up the good work!

thanks for this material.
