Is there anything that exists that would help to show what controls or settings apply to which parts of the configuration. I am looking for a little bit of help with what pertains to what. I spend way too much time trying to find out how to change the font color on the main menu or the color of the background for the tool tip on the main menu. All of these controls are spaced among three different parts...at least three. Themes, controls manage and sometimes language. It would save so much time and I am sure cut down on the forum posts that drive you guys crazy. Simply a graphic display with arrows pointing to the different sections of the page with names of these areas. It is a real time-suck to have to figure it all out.
Then I will not mess with my page for a year and then have to learn it all over again.
While I am here, can you tell where I can change the color of the font in the main menu and the color of the font when you roll over it. Also the opacity of the tool tip box, not the font, for mainmenu items. I find that I am drawing my own map with explanations and I should not have to do this.

Re: Navigating to areas of the administration
We are aware that settings are somewhat bloated in Imagevue, but to achieve the settings and flexibility that our customers have come to demand, there has been no way around this. Let me help you out with a few things:
# Language
This is ONLY for setting the text-language for the Imagevue interface. It does nothing more, and nothing less.
# Stylesheet/CSS
Your theme stylesheet is used to change ALL text formatting in your gallery, may it be colors, font, size or style. It does nothing more, and nothing less. If you want to change anything related to the font, this is where you change it. We use CSS in Imagevue, to maintain modern and flexible text formatting for the gallery. Read more:

Now, all the rest of your settings are split between two parts:
# Theme Settings
Here, all settings related to color and the general look- and feel of your gallery are located. These are generally the files that make the differences between the Imagevue themes.
# Settings
This is the default settings section in your admin, and basically covers everything else, from thumbnail sizes, to enabling interactive elements in your gallery, and to setting document metatags.
As you can see, we have tried to make these classes as self-explanatory as possible, in addition to the documentation here.
You can not set opacity for the descriptions toolbox, because our tests showed us that this simply did not look nice because texts became unreadable when items were showing beneath. Also, as you can see, this would simply have added MORE bloated settings options which we are trying to avoid.

ALL font styles are set in the theme CSS stylesheet. The specific classed you would be looking for, are:swamphox wrote:While I am here, can you tell where I can change the color of the font in the main menu and the color of the font when you roll over it.

Re: Navigating to areas of the administration
I apologize for these minute requests but I have spent too much time on this and it is getting ridiculous. What is the text description and exif text called above an image? I think you said all of the color and font for text was found in the css. Where do I go to change the color of these fonts? There are two different things there, actually three if you count the "buy now" and each one has a different code controlling the color. Thanks for the help as always!
Re: Navigating to areas of the administration
Yes, all of the color and styles for fonts ARE set in the CSS. Above the image, that would normally be all the classes that start with .text_1, including .text_1_exif. Depending on how you have done it though, it could be text_2_ if you are using this text module also. In the default imagevue release, the text_1 block containing title and description is set to be displayed ABOVE the image, while EXIF is in the text_2 block, and set to display OVER the image on rollover. You seem to have changed this, so its hard to tell, but you should be able to tell since you have activated EXIF for your text ...swamphox wrote:What is the text description and exif text called above an image?

What "buy now" are you referring to? There are a lot of options to add to the the TEXT modules that are displaying. Some are mostly superficial, but they may come into use. If you did add this item for any reason, the CSS would be .text_1_purchase -swamphox wrote:There are two different things there, actually three if you count the "buy now" and each one has a different code controlling the color.
