FAQ
- Q: How to change font?
A: In theme's folder locate greydragon/css/screen.css and change font-family rule for BODY tag.
- Q: What is Color Pack? How to select it? What to do if I want to change it?
A: Color Packs is a new feature released with 2.1.0 version.
You can select from the list of color packs available using Theme's Admin page.
With 2.1.0 release all color related information was moved into greydragon/css/colorpacks/ folder where each sub-folder represents a color pack. It consists of two parts: colors.css - CSS file with all basic CSS rules to manage theme's color palette and images folder with necessary icons to match the color palette of the theme.
In order to introduce a new color pack, simply create a new sub-folder similar to one of the existing and make modifications in color.css and image resources.
Wish List
Something which was brought up to my attention during discussions and could be considered for later implementation... Have more? comment on it.
