    Default Templates

    I am currently evaluating with the free version. Current project is making some changes to the template.

    I am finding it is not straight forward changing the css file for link colors, text style etc. There are lots of styles in the html source which overrides the css.

    Is this the case with the paid versions?

    The kosmos theme is the same in the free version as it is in the paid version. However the paid version also has other templates available from Nicecoder and other sources.

    Not to bad to work with though. http://ceramicartindex.com/ took about 3 hours to do. Granted it is a Quick & Dirty. If I was doing for production would do away with about 85-90% of the gifs and pull internal styles out of the html.

    Could be fun to play with. Yes, I am a fan of dark themes.

    thats good.. exactly how i cleaned up the kosmos template, its a mash of pointless tables and gifs. the other tempaltes are better made... and i think the new kosmos template ont he SVN has also been cleaned *hopefully all the tables removed... they jsut take too long to render.

    It is always more fun to play than work. Actually I am spinning wheels until a client check arrives so...

    You mean something like this;

    Proof it works at at CeramicArtIndex.com. Seriously, I may modify the default template instead of using blackjuce should I buy Indexu.

    I haven't been able to figure out which files display the index category list.

    The foolter was sooo easy. Now the hard work would be all those tables between header and footer. Except I find doing a table with 3 columns easier than pure div 3 columns.

    Deleted as I stumbled upon settings.php which did wonders.

    But still didn't resolve all -- hard coded text color of black - can't find where - must be in encrypted stuff.
