Customizing the Wacko interface.

There are are already four themes in the normal installation:

• /yourfolderhere/theme
  • coffee
  • default
  • tabs
  • wakka

To switch from one theme to another, you have to make a change in the config.php from 'theme' => 'default', to 'theme' => 'themename',
Within the themes folders, there are sub-folders like

• /appearance: It contains the .php-files and the .tpl-files with the html structure, which will be used to layout the content.
• /css: Contains (what a surprise) the css stylesheet for printing and normal layout. A lot of the work for a new layout or theme can be done here.
• /icon: The default icons are ok, but if you change the css, perhaps, you want to change the icons also. The logo of your wiki is not here. By defaut, it is under /yourfolderhere/file/global/wikilogo.png.
• /lang: In the folder are some minor important language files.

Layout

The hard part isn’t actually writing the HTML and CSS code, it’s figuring out, conceptually (on a piece of paper), the behavior of all the necessary boxes to create a given layout.
