Changing the look of the LO was created by Mark7801
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to change the standard color and layout of the Xerte and Bootstrap layouts beyond the optional properties drop down box, maybe create my own templates. I'd like to change the theme color, add and place items like logos, placement/size/style of text etc.
I see the custom Interface option in the bootstrap template but not in the Xerte template? Where can I find information about creating custom interfaces?
I'm using V2
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

The custom interface option is for Flash only i'm sure, the one you want to use is the Stylesheet one... with this you can override aspects of the HTML5 layout.



For the Bootstrap layout your optional properties have two options that will be appropriate, the Styles one that allows you to insert inline style and the Stylesheet one that allows you to attach a ready mae stylesheet. This can override or augment the styles that are there already, adding in the features that you require, although upon testing this morning I can't seem to be able to get them to work... will email the others to see what is going on...



Regards,

John

Hi John,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I will play with Stylesheets, I assume it sits on top or replaces the default view.
The bootstrap LO optional properties tab I have only shows options for the project title page and is limited to Header Color, Header Image and Header Text Color.
I look forward to hearing about the additional optional properties when they're working.
Thanks!
Mark
