These play a large part of the accessibility - please think<br>> carefully before removing these just for aesthetic reasons. If you really<br>> need to hide those options please consider adding a button so that users can<br>> still access those features.<br>> <br>> Ron<br>> <br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From: xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk<br>> [mailto:xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of José Gregorio<br>> Díaz Unda<br>> Sent: 17 November 2011 12:43<br>> To: Xerte Discussion list<br>> Subject: [Xerte] Re: Customizing XOT Projects<br>> <br>> Hi Andy.<br>> <br>> We were looking for a "guide" or something on the Internet but without luck.<br>> <br>> Ron Mitchell has in his webpages some examples about customizations over XOT<br>> LO look, but none of them change the look too much, so probably its not an<br>> easy task.<br>> <br>> Yesterday, we downloaded the latest code from the google code svn of xerte<br>> and xot.

Open with Adobe Flash the "XMLEngine.fla" file from "xerte" svn folder.<br>> 3. Publish from Adobe Flash the "XMLEngine.fla" file to "XMLEngine.swf".<br>> 4. Replace "XMLEngine.swf" in xerteonlinetoolkits for the new one.<br>> 5. Test if XOT works.<br>> <br>> Lets see what happen.<br>> <br>> By the other hand, I think its important to document an example of<br>> customization.<br>> <br>> If we succeed, we will publish it on Internet.<br>> <br>> Take care.<br>> <br>> José.<br>> <br>> <br>> Enviado desde mi dispositivo movil BlackBerry® de Digitel.<br>> <br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From: "Davidson, Andrew" <Andrew.Davidson@warwick.ac.uk><br>> Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:37:08 <br>> To: Jose Diaz<xt4mhz@yahoo.com>; Xerte discussion<br>> list<xerte@lists.nottingham.ac.uk><br>> Subject: RE: [Xerte] Customizing XOT Projects<br>> <br>> Hi Jose - did you get anywhere with how to change the 'skin'?

When we open the "XMLEngine.fla" with Adobe Flash, it shows<br>> a grayed rectangle with a lot of code. We just want to "drag and drop"<br>> elements of the screen to new positions.<br>> <br>> <br>> Attached to this message, we send an image of an example how much we want to<br>> change the "skin" of the learning objects.<br>> <br>> <br>> Any "step-by-step" guide to change this "look"?<br>> <br>> After changing the "look", we want to translate to spanish the XOT ... but<br>> this is another history.<br>> <br>> Thanks a lot again.<br>> <br>> José.<br>> <br>> --<br>> Lic.
