The style sheets
The appearance of web pages is done mainly with style sheets. Without style sheets, the home page of this website might look like this.
('style sheet' and 'stylesheet' is the same thing)
The style sheets in qwwwk are:
- (1) common-g.css (minified, Google fonts, active option) or
- (2) common-h.css (minified, self-hosted fonts, active option)
- (3) default.css (minified default, inactive option) or
- (4) default-unminified.css (unminified default, inactive option)
- (5) extra.css (active)
- (6) style.css (active)
Select (1) or (2) in 'admin/setup'. Select (3) or (4) with 'edit the stylesheets' in 'admin/pages'. Always active are (1) or (2), (5) and (6), i.e. three style sheets.
style.css
The main active style sheet is always style.css selected from default.css and default-unminified.css with 'edit the stylesheets' in 'admin/pages'. It can be edited by selecting default.css or default-minified.css and updating style.css.
A 'minified' file has all the unnecessary spaces, carriage returns and comments removed to reduce the file size. It works just the same but is harder to read.
extra.css
extra.css contains add-on styles that you can edit directly with 'edit the stylesheets' in 'admin/pages'. Styles in extra.css load last so can be used to over-ride styles (as required) in style.css.
Before editing extra.css and saving it, save a copy of the original extra.css on your hard drive in case you need to go back to the original. There is a copy at '/admin/text/extra-css.txt' just in case.
common-?.css
Choose from common-g.css (Google fonts) and common-h.css (self-hosted fonts) in '/admin/setup'. Choose common-h.css if the website is installed on 'localhost'.
