[hobbit] Xymon Themes

[Galen Johnson]

That's easy...just create an account and add a new page...it might be a good fit on the "Add-ons" page or "Tutorials"...actually, a "How do I customize the Xymon Theme?" might be a good tutorial there.

Hi Thomas

I've actually changed a heck of a lot of files within hobbit to achieve this look (headers, footers, some of the scripts that generate web pages) in order to make more consistent use of CSS, so it is not upgrade-friendly at all unfortunately.  I consider it a little bit hacky.

However, I can certainly try to get a collection of files together for people to look at on The Shire.  I would imagine it would only work with version 4.2.0.

How should I go about getting the files onto the Shire?

Best regards,

Chris.
