<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">Hi Tom,
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’ve tried to follow your instructions but have hit some problems:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. just copy the parent_template/Nottingham folder to a new folder in parent_templates</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I don’t need to worry about creating anything in the templates folder to match what’s in parent_templates?</div>
<div><br>2. go into management.php, and rescan the templates</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Did that, and my new template appears in the list on the Management pages, but does not appear in the list available to the end user. I’ve made sure it’s set to active, so I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong there.</div>
<div><br>3. edit to you hearts content</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I see what you mean about maintenance - the design doesn’t appear to be separated from the functionality, so it looks like new functionality might be added to Nottingham that doesn’t get reflected in designs using the new theme?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Something else to add to the wish list.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div> </div>

<div>I think we should try to improve on the process.

<div>Hi there,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I need to create a new look and feel for Xerte learning objects that will be used across all new LO’s.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It’s basically going to be the normal Nottingham HTML5 design, but with tweaks to brand it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a recommended way to do this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’m finding it hard to work out which bits of the code-base hold the relevant CSS, and then how to add a new “template(?)” so it can be used by the learning designers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
