Parastream™ PagePorter™

Themes, Site Settings Dialog Box

Use this page of the Site Settings dialog box to manage Microsoft Office Themes for the web site. You can access this dialog box by selecting Site Settings from the PagePorter menu and then choosing the Themes tab.

In general, you may add themes from the list of available themes to your project. Of these, one is the default theme for the web site. You may apply a different theme to any number of pages if you desire.

Default theme for this site

Displays a list of themes that are available in the current project. The default theme for the project is initially selected.

Themes on this computer

Displays a list of themes that are installed on your computer.

Add

Copies the selected theme from the Themes on this computer list to the project.

Remove

Removes the selected theme from the Default theme for this site list from the project.

Apply to entire site

When the Site Settings dialog is closed by clicking the OK button, any changes in the Default theme for this site, Vivid colors, Active Graphics, or Background picture settings will be applied to the entire project, except pages that have had themes applied directly to them.

Apply to current page

When the Site Settings dialog is closed by clicking the OK button, any changes in the Default theme for this site, Vivid colors, Active Graphics, or Background picture settings will be applied to the current page only.

Theme strings

Displays two values that are useful if you need to update source files manually. The first string is the name of the CSS file, and the second is the full name of the theme and its attributes.

Vivid colors

Select this option if you want to use a slightly brighter set of text, links, and graphic colors. De-select this check box if you prefer more muted colors.

Active graphics

In Active graphics, PagePorter creates link bar buttons that change color or shape when clicked. Some themes also contain different page banners and bullets graphics.

background picture

This option enables you to turn on or off the theme's background graphic.

Generate CSS

Click the button if you need to forcibly generate a theme CSS file for the project. A typical use would be to specify a theme override in a Link Bar / Page Banner control where the theme has not been applied to a page or the web site. You will typically click Cancel on the dialog box after clicking Generate CSS to prevent the new style from being applied unintentionally.
