Changing (text) colours on all webpages
Hi All,
If I wanted to change all the used colours on all webpages, what places should I check?
I have changed the background gifs and all the text and background colours located in the ~hobbit/server/web directory. I have also changed colours in hobbitserver.cfg (the part that determines how bbgen generates webpages). But still some generated pages (mainly tables) have a different background and text colour than the colours I specified.
Are some colours hardcoded or haven't I searched hard enough?
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

some of the html tagging is hardcoded into hobbit. I wanted to have a white background/black foreground color scheme and gave up...

I'm afraid they are. The Hobbit webpages are not completely configurable; you can change some things through the web/* files, the gifs, and the HTML settings in hobbitserver.cfg, but some of it is embedded inside the code that generates the webpages. Not pretty, but also not a high-priority thing to change.
Regards, Henrik

I looked into this a while back, and if somebody has the time, it would be more tedious than difficult to convert to CSS, making it much easier to change the look globally by editing just a single hobbit.css file in the webpage root.
Any volunteers?
You also lose some compatability that way with older browsers, but it's doable.
I just wanted to point out that we did it for our implementation just by editing the display code (nicely kept in one folder). Wasn't hard, and we don't change it often, so deciding once wasn't difficult.

All in one folder screams "theme"...curious how much work it would really take....not much of a C developer or I'd take it on.
