Re: adding CSS to customise fonts and colours

[Benjamin L. <ben...@co...>]

Heya Dieter,

Find the diff attached for ar.pl (against 1.4.5).

You'll notice that I've left the various <FONT> tags intact as much as
possible, for the moment, to allow for backwards compatibility (the
old look?).

The really only added HTML code is the outer table (which can be used
for a nice border) and the coloured lines trickery. The rest is just
replacement of " with qq|, and the class= stuff.

FYI, these are the current classes.
perl -n -e 'if ( m/class=\"[^\"]*\"/ ) { print $& . "\n"; }' < ar.pl | sort | uniq

class="list_heading"
class="list_inner_table"
class="list_item"
class="list_outer_table"
class="list_row_1"
class="list_row_2"
class="list_total"

list_inner_table, list_outer_table are only placeholders at the
moment.

I'm thinking there'll soon be a need for list_sub_total. Anyway,
that's for later.

Here's the stylesheet I've been using. I just put it in Form.pm.


<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { background-color: #ffffff; }

.list_inner_table { }
.list_outer_table { }

.list_heading { 
  font-family: arial, helvetica, san-serif; 
  font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; 
  color: #003399; background-color: #000066; padding-top: 1px; 
  }

.list_item { 
  font-family: arial, helvetica, san-serif; 
  font-size: 12px; 
  padding-top: 1px; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px; 
  }

.list_row_1 { background-color: #eeeeee; }
.list_row_2 { background-color: #ddddee; }

.list_total { 
  font-family: arial, helvetica, san-serif; 
  font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; 
  color: #ffffff; background-color: #000000; padding-top: 1px;
  }

-->
</style>


As for RTL stuff, I think it's just a matter of adding the 'direction:
rtl;' attribute. I must admit, I'm unfamiliar with this setting. ;-O

Cheers!
Ben.

P.S. I think I forgot to attach the screenshots... I always forget
attachments.
