Css elements in PatternSkin
This page is a reference for all CSS classes used in PatternSkin.Page contents:
The PatternSkin stylesheet is divided in two files: - layout.css: positioning of block elements on the page
- style.css: appearance of blocks and all other page elements
Naming conventions
PatternSkin follows the naming conventions used in TWiki core code: all TWiki class names have the prefixtwiki: twikiEditPage, twikiTopicAction, etcetera. ID names are not used, only class names, to allow multipe class names. See also: TWikiCss.
Namespaces
PatternSkin uses namespaces for templates, by adding one (sometimes two - multiple) class names to the template's body tag.- The body tag in view.pattern.tmpl for instance has the class name "twikiViewPage":
<body class="twikiViewPage">. All CSS elements specific to the view template thus can be defined as.twikiViewPage .someClassName. - All templates that are not the view template have the body class name "twikiNoViewPage". That makes it easy to give all of these pages a different layout in one sweep (smaller or wider margins for instance). Template edit.pattern.tmpl uses
<body class="twikiNoViewPage twikiEditPage">.
