    Hi
    Having a nightmare. I just need a basic theme so been searching - done load several - and issue after issue.
    Finally found one that works:

    http://www.encke.net - Flixsimple - apart from the fact it has this annoying bar on the left that you cannot alter the colour of, apart from that its perfect - even background changing colours work - yippee. Just need to add a image for title and it will allow me to port my old site over.

    Anyway - anyone got a basic Xanthia theme that may do my trick?

    There is also pnThemeYaml.
    Or Xanthia version of extralite.

    Thanks.

    Issues with both, in the respect that if I set the background colour, it does not change the background colour for the while site. Really, really annoying. I liked Stylevantage theme from same site as pnThemeYaml and same issue - set background, it does not change.

    Any ideas?

    slewis1972, Flixsimple is an older style xanthia theme. Have you looked in the xaninit.php file which is in the main theme folder, you'll see the palette colours are set in there. if you look in the master.htm file you'll see tags like:

    Code

    border-color:<!--[$bgcolor]-->;


    Those colours are taken from the xaninit.php thats what you need to edit. That theme has a few different palettes and you select which palette to use in the theme admin.


    Hope that helps

    slewis1972, that Flixsimple is an older style xanthia theme, still works ok on 764 as far as I know. That theme was one of the few setup to use multiple palettes so things are a bit different with it. Look in xaninit.php in the theme folder you see the palette setups, thats what you need to edit if the style sheet won't do what you want. If you look in the master.htm you'll see tags like

    Code

    border-color:<!--[$bgcolor]-->;


    Those colours come from the xaninit.php. You can also tell xanthia which palette to use in the theme admin. Haven't had to do it for a long time so not sure of the exact details, play with it on your local host and you'll get the idea.

    Hope that helps
