Editing Style (CSS) and Eloquence (Languages) (section)

===Adding a style sheet===

The first and easiest thing to do is create a new style sheet for our theme. In EPrints 3.2 the default template has been changed to make the things you can do with CSS styles much more powerful.

Create a stylesheet in your theme's directory: <eprints_root>/archives/<archive_name>/cfg/themes/abstract_flash/static/style/auto/y_abstract_flash.css

Try out some simple style rules to change the appearance of your EPrints template. If you aren't comfortable with CSS or you're just feeling lazy you can copy my code from the box below. 
<pre>
.ep_tm_archivetitle {
        display: block;
        padding: 10px;
        color: #D4FAE7;
}

.ep_tm_menu, .ep_tm_header {
        background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #525252;
}

.ep_tm_logo {
        display: none;
}

.ep_tm_menu li {
        padding: 20px;
        display: inline-block;
        border-top: 2px solid white;
}

.ep_tm_searchbar {
        background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #D4FAE7;
        border-top: 1px solid #525252;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #525252;
}

.ep_tm_key_tools li a {
        color:#525252;
}

body {
        margin: 0;
}

</pre>

To enable your theme you will need to create file in cfg.d which tells EPrints which theme it should use. If you don't do this EPrints will use the default theme. I called my file cfg.d/x_abstract_flash.pl it contains this directive:

 $c->{theme} = "abstract_flash";
