Maybe I missed something from the library, or it needs setting up differently. I’ll have a look, ‘cos they would be pretty handy.

Just like the old days!

It’s a good call. I’ve put the local copies in, and use them: so they’ll need keeping up to date. It means we have bootstrap in two places, so we should look at a common place for shared stuff. I haven’t touched the export code, but suspect it isn’t too much to add in the new folders; also I just took the downloads and put them in there, I suspect we only need the .min.css files.

Crikey, you pose a question, go away, come back, and it's done! I should pose more questions more often… ;-)

I can see John's point about local copies but It's great to have this even if only online - should help to brighten up all those plain text pages at the very least! Very easy to include the icons at different sizes too.

Cheers
Ron

I’ve done that now. I haven’t added them to the export code – I’m not too familiar with that, so probably easier if Tom does it (it’ll just be the two font-awesome folder and bootstrap folder in the Xerte template and the font-awesome folder in the site template (I’m not sure if this exports at all?)

Yeah, OK.  I just added the links to the CDN stylesheet to rloObject.htm in modulkes/xerte/player_html5 and to play.php and preview.php for the bootstrap template.

Thanks.

Yeah I think a drop down for installed themes would be good. We already have the ability to override styles on a per LO basis but not so easy to deal with the button images that way.

On a not completely un-related note anyone looked at including Font Awesome for both the XOT template as well as Bootstrap? Indeed is it in the latter already or is there an easy way to include it? http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/

Do you think we should have a property page for look and feel?
I am thinking of the "hobbler" script I use for single page LOs as a handy display short cut?

People want to change the colours and buttons. I have to look into using the stylesheet a bit more. Haven't have time for that....

There is a desire to change the editor to one written in HTML5 and get rid of the Flash one. I think John has got some progress with it, but it’s quite a bit of work.

Personally I think it would be very hard to do WYSIWYG and maintain the flexibility of the authoring tool.

What do you mean by ‘change the design’?

Hi,

I heard there are 'plans' for a another editor in Xerte/XOT (wysiwyg?). Does anyone have information for me about that?  I ask this because it's the number 1 question for people working with XOT. Number two is the possibility to change the design ;)...
