Notes:

Changing a setting in the user interface does not change the corresponding setting in the theme definitions, it only changes the setting for the project. The theme definition files (in XML format) are installed in the subfolder "themes" under the installation folder. You can easily add your own themes by duplicating one of the theme definition file (except the theme.xml which is for defining the settings and data type in a theme), rename it and modify the settings in the file, just make sure you give your theme an unique theme name.
If you use background images, just enter the file name. All background images should be placed in the "themes\_images" subfolder for the user interface to show HTML preview. The images should also be placed in the "phprptimages" folder in the template so they will be copied to the destination folder.

Styles

Edit styles

A separate CSS stylesheet will be generated for each project. Click the [Edit styles] button to open CSS editor.

Notes:

All projects use CSS stylesheet.
If you have TopStyle Pro (v1.5+) or TopStyle Lite (v1.5-3.1) installed on your PC, PHP Report Maker will use it automatically.

When you edit the CSS styles in the editor, note the follows:

DO NOT MODIFY the system styles section, it is generated by the system, your modifications will be overwritten. If you want to change the stylesheet template, modify the ew.css in the "themes" subfolder under the installed directory. Only modify the ew.css if you have the necessary knowledge in CSS.
DO NOT REMOVE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:

BEGIN_USER_STYLES
END_USER_STYLES

You MUST write your styles between these two comment lines, styles outside this user styles section will be discarded.
If you want to override the system styles, you can copy the styles to the User Styles Section, or you can use a separate user stylesheet.

User Stylesheet

Linking to external user stylesheet (will be copied across during generation)

You can see the effect of new settings immediately in the preview window at the bottom of the HTML tab.

Other than choosing color from the palettes, the color picker can also pick color directly from screen using the "eyedropper".
