Romvi , Could you describe the Operating System and web browser type and version that you are using

2012-06-01 17:48:03 -0500 answered a question How can I use the OSQA theme on Askbot?

I think that at this moment there are several differents between askbot and OSQA template , so is probably that the OSQA theme is not compatible with askbot.

Even so, You can create a new theme based on default askbot theme, please check the documentation about skins.

The easiest way could be create an extra.css file and overwrite the actual css. If you would like to create a new subtheme could be usefull if you work editing the style.less file and adding the templates that you would like to override. You will need to put attention in which templates have been overwrote (if you needed) because there are some templates that has some logic that can change in future version of askbot.

2011-12-11 14:01:48 -0500 answered a question How to use template tags in stylesheets?

As Evgeny said, with less you can define variables with differents purposes. The generals colors used in the template are define in the lib_style.less file, for example:

/* Variables for Colors*/

@header-color:#16160f;
@link:#1b79bd;
@question-link:#464646;
@button-label:#4a757f;

You can add your custom colors in this area to follow the same logic.

2011-12-11 13:30:50 -0500 answered a question Where can I get the sources for sprites.png

Hi,

I just update the graphics and sprites sources in svg format. You can find in /skins/default/media/images/sprites_source directory. Also I changed the background of sprites elements to transparent, that will help to create custom templates with differents colors.

There are two files, sprites.svg and graphics.svg, the last one include some extra elements, like icons, buttons backgrounds, tag design etc.

I suggest that the best way to implement new icons in the same sprite file, will be include the new element in the file, export all the content as all page and after that in the style.less file you can call the element with a predifine class, for example.

.sprites(-6px,-5px);

This class comes from lib_style.less

/* Receive exactly positions for background Sprite  */

.sprites(@hor,@vert,@back:url(../images/sprites.png)){
    background:@hor @vert @back no-repeat;
}

Look great I like it, I feel that font could be just a little bit bigger, but just a little. I think that Guru and Cleanup font size is ok, I am talking about civic duty.
