Note: a list of all the changed files is kept here.

What follows is a summary of the major changes that I made to the default wikkawiki installation in order to produce the layout that you can see here.

July 31 2006

I added the internal categorisation bar at the bottom of the page. This involves a template to cut and paste into each page. The template contains a div with a new style – taxonomy – and the internal links are formulated as external links in order to have them parsed properly.

I changed the typefaces for the headlines, links and body text. The body text is now Times New Roman, while the headlines are in san-serif. H1 and H2 are in Verdana. H3 is in Trebuchet MS. H4 and H5 are in Verdana. I modified the sizes of the headline styles. The menus are in Trebuchet, which is more condensed than Verdana.

I created the new_entry style which is used to put a dividing line between entries on a multi-entry page.

July 30 2006

I modified the masthead graphic, moving the heading from the bottom to the top.

I changed the header.php file to include the dynamic html menu system that I developed for the marinetta.org∞ site.

I altered the colors in the wikka.css file, and created anew style: the divider in the submenus is OKmenudiv, because without a style of its own it was inheriting the wrong properties. The commentsheader style was given an explicit height and the font properties were altered.

These are the colors, which are matched to colors in the masthead. The background of the menu-strip is #D8D8D8. The menu text is #4676CB – except for the mouseover which is #FF0000. The orange background color, when the submenus are revealed, is #FFCC66.
