Templates? Table Graphics / Colors? Languages

[Julio]

Where do I change the color of the table backgrounds? Can I use a custom graphic instead?

 

I set another language as Default, but when I open www.domain.com/catalog/default.php it shows in English, what can I do?

For the colors its in your stylesheet.css

and for the language it as to do with your window regional setting

Yes you can customize the graphic interface. It's a bit tricky at first becuase there's no template system. I went 2 days without sleep so I wouldn't forget what it was I just did. There are some restrictions such as all the boxes are controlled by the same <td> tag. The header.php and footer.php file are the easiest part so focusing on a one column layout could give you a very unique look.

 

These are my favorite example shops regarding design possibilities:

sorry, got a bit off topic there. Too much coffee :oops:

 

If you need to force a language look for <?php include(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language .

 

and change . $language . to . german . or whatever.

 

I had to force . english . due to some contrubutions pulling up errors on foreign browsers becuase they had no language dependent files when called from . $language .

Thank you for the info guys. Definately trying to work something out like

http://corporateoutfitter.cabelas.com This "style" (graphically) can be achieved by working mostly on the stylesheet.css? Just would like to know what are the most important files to work with in terms of graphics, change - add - remove icons, etc.+

For example... under stylesheet there's line:

 

A:hover.bluelink { color:#0000FF; background-color: #FFFF33; text-decoration:underline; }

 

if I would like to change the background-color from #FFFF33 with a graphic, will using "background="{imagesfolder}/filename.gif" work?
