Personally I would welcome the additions and you are right – just don’t have the time to sit down and make them.

We would warmly welcome the help but I would ask that if you do want to go ahead and add these in then it would need to be in all current themes and all overlays to be consistent… sorry if that puts you off !

But – if you decide to tackle it then please do grab the latest from svn themes – and obviously best for us would be patch files…

Thanks

Let me look and see if there is an easy way to edit one default.php file and one overlay and then merge the changes with the others.

Since it wouldn’t affect any color or image links it shouldn’t be that hard.

a simple copy and paste from one overlay to the other would work – unless colors (text, border, background, etc) are involved…  probably easier than trying to merge… but however it works for you!

are you comfortable with creating patches? usually can do right from your svn client… can provide more help if you need it…

I got a chance to mess with this some. I changed about 60 lines that had an actual text size in the default.php file. I changed them to get the info from the overlay file instead.

In the overlay files I added them all to the bottom of the file under Misc Font Sizes.

I created a patch file to see if it will work for you.

The patch file is of the templates/default/styles folder. It contains the changes I made to the default.php file and all the overlay files.

I also noticed a couple of errors in the red-sky overlay so it includes those fixes also.

I tested the default and red-sky overlay on my site.

Let me know if this works and if it is what you were thinking. Will email to you, it doesn’t look like I can attach Zip, txt or patch files here.

yeah, we dont let users upload files here… we might want to change that for patches…

in meantime, you can email the .patch file to support at simple-press dot com

thanks…

Brandon, taking a look at these changes – quite extensive!

however, you missed updating one file…  in the styles directory, there is a file called spOverlays.txt…  you need to update that to include what you added…  that file is useful to know where each overlay option is used…

there is a syntax error in the overlays – missing ; end of line 332/333 area (checked multiple but not all)

Can you update that file, fix the errors and regenerate the patch file?

No problem, will do.

I also caught another error like the one you mentioned. Will fix it all up and email you the patch.

sounds good. Do you plan to give the other themes a similar treatment?

we still need to review the finals to make sure working, but noticed those things today… thanks for helping out!

I was thinking that it would be cool to take some of the images from the /default/images folder and move them to the default/styles/images folder.

Then create the options in the default.php file to have it get the image name from the overlay file.

The thinking is that someone could change the images like on/off up,right,down arrows etc in the overlay file. Instead of the Default.php file. That way they could use their own made images but any update you did to the default.php file would not affect their custom images. They would never have to worry about your changes affecting their look and can update automatically in the future instead of having to re-edit the default.php file.

Thoughts?

Brandon, not ignoring this… Andy and I are discussing it today… get back with you soon…

Need to point out one thing…  any files changed/modified in the theme are not safe for the next update if you use the wp updater…  just like when you use the wp updater to update wp themes or wp plugins, the old theme is removed before the new version is grabbed…

Brandon, sure if you want to create a patch for this, we would be happy to look at it… again, really needs to be for all themes to be consistent…

thanks for helping!
