Does someone have a tutorial, manual, or does anyone have new skins for the wec package? Ronald, the framework for the current skins is based on Ron Halls' Templavoila Framework. You can find that here: http://templavoila.busynoggin.com/ If you work through it, you can probably get some examples. A good CSS editor will also help. I tweaked a new site using a graphical CSS Editor that worked well for my purposes, basing it on a "plain" skin. Admittedly, it wasn't too different from what was already there, but it did give us a different look to the site without too much work. I'm not much of a front-end designer so kept it simple, but if you know CSS, the framework should make it pretty easy to come up with a new skin for your site. Basic steps: 1. Go to the Skin Management in your TYPO3 backend. 2. Make a copy of the skin off of which you want to base your new look. 3. Edit the CSS files in that new skin folder. Make other tweaks as necessary. 4. Switch to the new skin and start using it. Of course if you make a lot of advanced changes, you're beyond my ability to advise, but Ron does run a business designing websites. You could also contact him for more details. I don't know of any new skins developed for WEC recently, but haven't been looking too much. |
