A bit of help to locate the files that need changing.

Images are located in /usr/sausalito/ui/web/libImage
It's prob better to make a sub directory of your own style name so that a
single system can have many styles without too much confusion. The downside
to this could be that there are duplicates of common images, but I think it
makes for a more tidy structure (views anyone?)

i.e.
   /usr/sausalito/ui/web/libImage/newstyle


The xml style files are in /usr/sausalito/ui/style
The std trueBlue versions are,

   trueBlue.xml
   trueBlue.xml.compiled.cceceeeaa9dfa04c955b9cd481741843
   trueBlue.xml.ja

Each of the 3 files will need to be copied, updating to the new name. within
the files replace any mention of "trueBlue" for "newstyle"

   newstyle.xml
   newstyle.xml.compiled.cceceeeaa9dfa04c955b9cd481741843
   newstyle.xml.ja

Don't forget to update the xml files to show the added sub dir.
For example the entry
    <property name="leftImage" target="normal"
value="/libImage/buttonLeftDot.gif"/>
Would become
    <property name="leftImage" target="normal"
value="/libImage/newstyle/buttonLeftDot.gif"/>


I don't know how to make the complied file, I'm sure someone will respond.
(but just changing internally seems to work.

Now comes the hard bit updating the images to your new style along with the
colours of your choice.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Howie.

Thank you Michael!

I am starting up a details page.  I had a couple of other people throw in
some money and gifts too.  As soon as I put the details together, I will
post it!

Thanks,
