Thankyou for the update to version 1.4!
More thank welcome!
the selector button is still showing all selections as "No settings."
Yes, that is as designed. The reason for it is that you are simply applying a set of styles to the theme...which you can then modify as you see fit. Once changes are made you wouldn't really be using that quickset anymore.
I see what you are saying though. I'll update the informational section on that piece to make it clearer.
There were quite a few other things apparently not working before I played around with deactivating and reactivating the plugin (for example, changing the header subtitle colour) but I will try again (after I watch the tutorial videos more thoroughly and) now that the Quick Setup is now inexplicably working - maybe some of the other stuff is now working as well (I hope.) Changing the title colour also did not work initially but then after several page refreshes it started to work (before I played with the plugin) - I don't understand why!
Please let me know when you find such! It is strange that things are working now and were not at first...normally that kind of thing only occurs if the browser is caching the css files and not updating them when the file changes.
Now that it is working I noticed that some of the configuration changes I had made don't seem to work if I change to a new Quick Setup. It appears that Quick Setup needs to be selected first before changing any of the details. Is that correct? So fluid setup and page widths etc need to be selected for each Quick Set after it is selected?
Yes. The best way to go is to select a quickset that has most of what you are looking for and then make changes from there. Applying a quickset will override style related settings.
I'm thinking that I will add one more type of quickset ( currently there is only everything and styles ) to take into account positioning...so that I can split positioning related information out from style information.
A bit of feedback:
The changes you are planning for version 1.5 sound great!
Thanks. I'm working on them now, but not quite sure yet when they will be done. 1.5 will mostly involve reworking the menu systems and css settings.
I am finding not being able to modify the CSS directly very challenging. There are many modifications I need to make to the layout and the appearance but have not been able to do so far -
(the stylesheet.css is virtually empty) changing the spacing, adding borders and background colours etc (I was unsuccessful with version 1.3 as I mentioned to you before.)
For some things you can edit the core_css.php file, but most settings are stored in the database...hence the reason I'm going to add the ability to have the system write out a static file in the next version.
The majority of styling can be done in the general display menu, the html-entities - sidebars and widget menus, and the Default Page - Page Styling / Nav Styling / Post Styling menus. I'll be more than happy to help out if you run into specific troubles.
One thing I would really like to do in the admin is to be able to type or copy-and-paste in a colour name or number instead of using the colour-picker so that I can easily use the same colours for different elements. (I tried to do this with the colour-picker but it just reverts to the default.)
Anywhere that the color picker is available, you can type in the color number ( XXXXXX ) and click elsewhere to get the color you want. If that isn't working for you, please let me know...but I haven't run into any problems with doing so as of yet.
I use the fluid symmetrical 3-column (left and right sidebars) layout but there is only grey available in the present selections of Quick Setups. The blue and green available in some of the other Quick Sets would be great! (I know that the sidebar layouts are apparently changeable but I like the borders on the page and sidebars etc of "Shades of Grey" that most of the other Quick Sets don't have.)
To get the borders in for other quicksets, you can add a border-left or border-right css entry into the HTML Entities - Sidebars - Sidebar X Style option. Let me know if you could use a hand getting things just right and I'll be happy to help.
