Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Layout and theme changes in Fallout

[Verdon V. <ve...@ve...>]

This sounds sensible. I like the box model too :)

In that manner, if I wish, I can id things in my theme.tpl file along  
the lines of leftCol, centerCol, rightCol and can get quite specific in  
my css by using selectors like

#leftCol .box-title h1, #rightCol .box-title h1 {do something}
#centerCol .box-title h1 {do something different}
