The new themes for RN 2.4 look really nice! Thanks...

Yeah! I agree with you but I would like to see just one css theme, just only one but:

Example: Blue, Magenta, Orange, Grey, etc.. so you can click on top and change the color from the theme. Isn't that a very good idea? Is it difficult to make?

The easiest method to accomplish something like that is through alternate stylesheets, then you usually need to employ some JS so the user can switch styles. I've lobbied for alternate and media targeted css support within RN, but can't really say when or if they will find there way into the distro. Definitely not in the next release, but maybe in the future Smile

This demo isn't completely polished (it was just to illustrate the idea), but check this out:

the style switcher is at the top-right. Most browsers also have a menu option for switching to alternate styles but 99% of users don't know it's there. (view-page style)

Pretty cool, Spasticdonkey! Where did you lobby for this - can you send me a link or was it in an email?

I made a kinda long winded post about it in the private forums - enhancement requests on ravens site Laughing

The short version is that addCSStohead doesn't work for alternate stylesheets, and they have to come after the main stylesheets anyway; so I created a similar function that accepts a couple more parameters (title, media)

I actually just started working on this again, it previously required some core edits but I think I will be able to use custom_mainfile and custom_head instead. I'll get you an updated link sometime this week. It will still be a rough draft, but not as rough Smile

I'll pm you a link to the thread, kguske

spasticdonkey This is excellent boddy. I didn't like the color but the idea is brilliant. Can you send me the files to test it. I wanna change colors.

It will be available to the public at some point or another, but right now it's not ready for public consumption. You'll be better off to wait anyway as the files are all incomplete at the moment (forums styling) and you would just have to re-edit later.

I'm combining this with some accessibility improvements for the blind - visually impaired; as well a site-wide printable layouts, so it's going to take a little time Wink
