Editing a Custom Theme

Getting to the "Edit CSS Theme" page

The Edit CSS Theme page, which lets you edit the styles in your custom CSS themes, is accessed through the main page of the CSS Themes section. Go to the CSS Themes section by clicking on the CSS Themes tab in the Navigation Bar:

Selecting a Theme to Edit

The next step is to select a theme to edit. Choose a theme from the Custom Themes list and click on its name to go to its Edit CSS Theme page.

Editing the Theme's Name and Image

You can edit the theme's name and image using the Name and Upload Image fields.

To edit the theme's name, edit the text in the Name field.

 

To attach a new image to the theme, you can either:

 

Enter the full pathname of the file on your local machine into the Upload image field.
Click on the Browse... button, which will open a dialog box where you can choose the image.

 

You do not have to reduce the image to thumbnail size; Blogware will do this automatically.

 

 

Viewing the Current CSS for the Base Theme

The Current CSS section has a text field containing the full CSS for the style sheet that you selected as the basis for your custom theme. It is a read-only text field that lets you look at the CSS and select any portion for copying. Use it as a starting point for your custom CSS theme.

Editing Your Custom CSS

Unlike the Custom CSS section in the Add CSS Theme page, the text field in this Custom CSS section contains the complete CSS for your custom theme, not just newly-added or redefined styles.

 

Make your changes to your custom CSS here.

Saving Your Changes

Once you have made the changes to the custom CSS, click the Save CSS button at the bottom of the page.
