<div>I have been following this thread with great interest as I have long been curious as to how you could customise the Xerte interface. So many thanks to Tom and Jose and anyone else who I might have missed who has contributed to this.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>I have almost completed translating into English Jose's excellent tutorial. I notice that there is a slight discrepancy in that the example changes about 8 optional properties of the project but only one is mentioned in the tutorial, so the results achieved by following the tutorial would not match the displayed image.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have been testing the available colour properties to establish what might have been changed and am finding a few properties that don't appear to be doing much. I wanted to add a description of the optional colour properties and their effects to the english translation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Can anyone with more experience of moding the xerte interface comment on the following observations and perhaps correct any errors or oversights on my part.</div><div><br></div><div>***********</div><div>
