anything significant. I’ve always liked the idea of a “brandable” hobbit. We
could then add a new “themes” section to The Shire. :-) <o:p></o:p></span></p>

maybe just symlink www to a theme. If you could write up a tutorial on what
you did that could go up on The Shire…that’d be awesome. It’d be really
awesome if we could make it brandable to the sub-page level for those of us who
monitor multiple customer’s sites.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

With all the discussion about icons, I figured I would open another
can-of-worms (so to speak).<br>
<br>
I don't know if this has been discussed before (I could not find anything in my
searches). As part of getting buyoff from managers we changed the look of
hobbit to be a little less "dark". We only make one change to
the code (to make highlighting of the line work), all other changes were to the
web/www files.<br>
<br>
Major Changes:<br>
- Moved menu down to make room for 'company banner'<br>
- changed colors (background/font/etc)<br>
- Removed background (we were annoyed by the "blink" everytime
the screen refreshed)<br>
- Added status "line" between company banner & menu, also
below the footer.<br>
- Added highlight function: highlights line that mouse is over<br>
- changed icons<br>
- changed footer<br>
<br>
I wanted to see what others thought of our effort. Also, I wanted to see
if others think it would be worth the time to make hobbit 'skins' (never really
cared for that term).<br>
<br>
I am willing to help in any effort.<br>
<br>
See attached. (sanitized version).<br>
