a small point (or maybe not) but what about the volume slider?

Hang on - default still takes you back to the blue scheme.

Yep, that was the trouble: if the styles are already loaded before the
interface initialises, the controls take their style values from STYLES, if
it is loaded later they didn't - until now: new engine attached. Cheers.

Might have spoken too soon :-(

Is buttonFillColour working on your tests? Wondering if the path to
common/styles.css is hardcoded for that somewhere?

e.g. if I change that colour in common/styles.css it works but if I change
that in media/styles.css it still uses the colour from common/styles.css

If buttonFillColour works for you from media? then it may be a difference in
my files somewhere :-(

Cheers

Such a simple but beneficial addition!

I had a load of typos in there: this works, after the background image code:

//stylesheet

if (templateData.learningObject[0].stylesheet != undefined){

rootIcon.loadStyleSheet(expression(templateData.learningObject[0].stylesheet
, this));

}

sorry been in a skype call until now - and now time for lunch but will test
and feedback shortly. Although a stylesheet was obviously attached to one of
my previous replies :-)

Can you test this - or send me a stylesheet to test with please?

Yes, we could have stylesheet an optional LO property and if set, use that.

Example attached.

Julian while we're on this subject it's been on my to do list to check/test
if there's a way we could make the path to styles.css conditional e.g. to
look for it in media first and then if not found use the one in common?

That would make it easy to have different styles for different LO's rather
than a site wide only solution. I've verified that this works with a test
install by changing the path to media\styles.css and uploading via the LO or
media & quota just not sure how and where to make it conditional and
therefore backward compatible.

Hello

How do I edit the colours on the default colour scheme for LOs made with
XOT? I'd like to change the various blues used in the default colour scheme
but keep everything else exactly the same.

Thanks for your help 

Oli
