The Secretary | User Guide - Customise:themes:designing-themes. Designing a theme for The Secretary is very straightforward. Themes consist of a CSS file, layout files and templates, which are a mix of HTML and PHP template tags. The best way to design a theme is to copy the default theme, Aplonis, and begin editing from there. Themes are created by uploading a folder to the themes folder (.. /site/themes/) . - css main.css - templates - projects_list.html -projects_view.html - layout_projects.php - layout_default.php - info.php A more intricate theme may look like this: - css - main.css - ie - ie6.css - js - actions.js - img - logo.jpg - background.jpg - templates - projects_list.html - projects_view.html - layout_projects.php - layout_default.php - info.php - plugin.php Additional files and folders can be created and included in the theme folder - that is entirely up to the designer, and the behaviour of the theme can be totally customised in this way.

<? Layout Files Layout files define how the site looks when viewing different kinds of content. Templates. Welcome. Box Follow. The Secretary / Home. Web Designer?s Guide to PNG Image Format. Once upon a time, there was the mighty GIF image format, the most popular type of image compression for web graphics. Then, it was announced that software programs using GIF would require a license (this was because of the Unisys patent for the LZW compression method used in GIF). This change sped up the development for its successor: the PNG format. PNG, which stands for Portable Network Graphics, gained popularity and, nowadays, it’s probably the most used image format when it comes to web design, alongside JPEG.

In this guide, we will cover everything you, as a web designer, need to know about the PNG image format. Understanding Digital Image Formats There are many digital image formats available for you to use, but only some of them are optimized for web use. Why are certain image formats suitable for the web, while others aren’t? Compression Methods There are two general kinds of image compression methods: lossy and lossless. PNG uses a lossless compression algorithm.

PNG-8 and PNG-24. CSS Tools: Reset CSS. The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. The general reasoning behind this was discussed in a May 2007 post, if you're interested. Reset styles quite often appear in CSS frameworks, and the original "meyerweb reset" found its way into Blueprint, among others. The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. There isn't any default color or background set for the body element, for example. I don't particularly recommend that you just use this in its unaltered state in your own projects. It should be tweaked, edited, extended, and otherwise tuned to match your specific reset baseline. In other words, this is a starting point, not a self-contained black box of no-touchiness. If you want to use my reset styles, then feel free! Previous Versions v1.0 (200802) Acknowledgments Thanks to Paul Chaplin for the blockquote / q rules.

.hpd files - FILExt Forum. HP had a document imaging software application that shipped with some of its printer/scanners. Unfortunately it wasn't very popular and got practically no support in the sense of other applications handling that format. Even HP doesn't support it. You can search their site and find practically nothing about it. The software was used to scan hardcopies of a document and save them in digital format. The file extension used was .hpd HP scanners now offer the pdf format as well as various image formats, but they no longer offer the .hpd format. The software also had a viewer (it is the only software that can view those files!!!) To get the file in a .pdf format you can just install one of the many free PDF converter software packages that installs in your Windows printer list.

Happy converting!
