Hi,
How can I apply this http://www.rockettheme.com/forum/free-joomla-stuff/174956-your-first-css-custom-file-or-less-custom-file in a duplicate of the main template? I'm using Spectral and only want the custom CSS or LESS in one of my duplicates.
Secondly: Can I use standard HTML for the styling? I want to increase the font for both the Title and Description in Rocsprocket Lists. - Last Edit: 10 years 10 months ago by Thomas vR.

Tom

Styling a menu page is better left to using a page class suffix .

It makes our suggestions more accurate if we see the actual coding of your site. -

Thanks for the quick response Dan,
Unfortunately I will not be able to post a link to the website at this moment. It will be a subscription site and I still have a lot to do before it will be ready.
It sound like a lot of work using the page class suffix. I will try, but at the moment I'm using the following in the Roksprocket Lists modules:
For the Title:<style>p {font-size:300%;}</style><p>QUESTION TITLE</p>
For the Description:<h1 style="font-family:verdana;">ANSWER</h1>
They both works quite well and it is easy to save a copy of the module and work from there. For the description I've tried various font html options, but not working as well as the heading 1 option.
If you perhaps have a better way of changing the font sizes for the Description directly in the module, it will be most welcomed.
Lastly. It is really a fantastic well written article you wrote about the CSS and LESS custom files. It will come in very handy for my other stuff. Thank you. - Regards
Tom

page class suffix in brief.
- Gantry generates a page class suffix for every menu page, so your "Special" page is called by Gantry in the <body class> menu-special
- all your pages have a black font colour -> body {color: black}
- so for red font on your "Special" page -> .menu-special {color: red}
Since <body> encompasses the whole page and Gantry places the page class suffix in the <body> element, then on any given page, ie menu-special the <body> statement is the same as using ".menu-special". - Last Edit: 10 years 11 months ago by DanG.
