 | Disable Theme url | If you set access to Public in the Project Properties a Learning Object's theme can be overridden __in the browser__ by adding a url parameter (i.e. a string of characters) to the url.  For example, this url parameter, //&theme=flatblue// , changes the theme to the Flat Blue theme. The theme can only be changed to one of those available in the host installation. The theme url parameter to use, when changing a theme by this method, is shown in each theme's description in the Project Settings, and is often shorter and not the same as the display name of the theme. However, as an author you can tick this optional property, if you wish, to disable this feature. This stops learners and other users changing the theme you have chosen. | | Disable Theme url | If you set access to Public in the Project Properties a Learning Object's theme can be overridden __in the browser__ by adding a url parameter (i.e. a string of characters) to the url.  For example, this url parameter, //&theme=flatblue// , changes the theme to the Flat Blue theme.

Hovering the mouse over the term will reveal a tooltip with the definition.  An icon will also be added to the footer of the project.   The icon can be customised, and the text of the tooltip can be edited.  Individual page types have the optional property to 'Disable Glossary' where this support would interfere with student activity. | | [[xot_glossary|Glossary...]] | Adds a table to the root page of the project, where terms and definitions can be added.
