complete themeConfig.xml

Hi,

I would like to manually play with the themeConfig.xml for my custom theme.
The problem I have is that I don't have a 'blank' template to work from.

I have changed all the settings I think I need, but my current themeConfig.xml file seem a little light.
Does anyone have a fully formed themeConfig.xml file that they are willing to send me so that I can butcher it for my own use.!

Thank you.

EDIT: Not to worry, I have managed to get it all sorted.
It's a pain that half the settings are in themeConfig.xml and half in imagevue.css. I managed to get what I wanted done.

Glad you sorted it out. Please allow me two comments:

1. We use CSS because it provides superior flexibility for text formatting. However, in flash (and therefore Imagevue), CSS only affects text-formatting. So this is a good thumb-rule to remember: If you want to edit the STYLE/TEXTFORMATTING of ANY text in Imagevue, this is in the CSS (nowhere else).

2. Normally, when creating themes, you create a theme from an already existing theme. Only changes/differences from the template theme XML file are actually stored in your custom XML. I would there recommend not trying to handle this manually, although you can see the entire theme default template here: /iv-includes/include/theme.xml
