Changes in style.css will be overwritten // overall colour change
 

Hi,

I tried to change the colour scheme of the theme and figured out to replace the colour codes in the css menu in the theme options. But this is rather boring, I would prefer to "find and replace" in the overall css file. But whenever I do this, all changes will be overwritten again :(

I wasn't able to figure out where the CSS sniplets from the options menu are saved - maybe this would be an option?!?

Another option would be a "colour-scheme" menu item in the options where you can replace the colour...

thx and cheers

all the options are stored in the database. In addition, a 'style.css' is stored in 'uploades/montezuma' folder - this is used for runtime. However each time you change the theme and hit save, the 'style.css' file will be rewritten with the values stored in the DB.

I use the Lazyest Stylesheet plugin, instead of editing any of the theme css files. Anything in the lazyest stylesheet will override the theme styles.

It would be nice if Montezuma included something like this.

Having the colors in separate color scheme css files, separate from the other css, would be great! Creative users could post various color schemes somewhere, like maybe on some part of this forum, and other users could pick and choose from them, without any knowledge of css. Moderators, how about an RFE for something like this, please?

Any changes you make to the css within the Montezuma theme options is saved in the database. You could put all your color codes in the various.css if you like instead of using the Lazyest plugin. Then you could export your settings as outlined in the Import/Export section to save.

Of course. But the reason I like the lasyest concept, and I hope that montezuma will add such a feature, is that it keeps all the custom css in one place, and the reason I suggest all the color css in one place, and I hope montezuma will add such a feature, is that it makes it easier to find and change color schemes.
