[paid accounts] How to create a theme layer

Jun 03, 2005 23:16

  1. Go to Your Layers. Create a layout specific layer with Type: Theme and Layout: Flexible Squares.
  2. Click on the Edit button of the theme layer called (none).
  3. In the Edit layer source box, there are two lines. Leave the layerinfo "type" declaration as it is. In layerinfo "name", give the layer a name.
  4. Insert whatever code that you want to use to modify the style after the layerinfo declarations.
  5. Hit Compile. The layer should compile with no errors.
  6. Go to Your Styles. Create a new style. If you get an error message, just hit the edit button on any of the wizard-whatever styles that you don't mind losing your previous customisations.
    Name the style whatever you wish. Choose Flexible Squares for Layout:, hit change. Then choose the name of the theme layer you created earlier for Theme:.
  7. Press Save. Go back to the Your Styles page and press Use.
  8. If you want to use a theme which is not the default one, you'll need to copy the colour information from that theme layer into this new one, since you can only use one theme layer at a time. To do that, download the theme layer you wish to use, copy everything except the layerinfo declarations, paste it in the new layer and compile.
