Design themes provided with Iron Speed Designer are named based on some of the world’s tallest mountains. You’ll find them in the directory where you installed Iron Speed Designer, e.g.:
C:\Program Files\Iron Speed\Designer V5.0.0\Design Themes\Alps
If you have a standard layout you would like to use across your entire organization, instead of creating each individual page by hand, you can instead create a design theme and let Iron Speed Designer create many of your application’s web pages using the Application Wizard.
The easiest way to create a custom design theme is to copy one of the existing design themes and modify it. Select one that’s closest to the design you like and simply copy it’s folder to a new folder. For example, copy
C:\Program Files\Iron Speed\Designer V5.0.0\Design Themes\Alps
to
C:\Program Files\Iron Speed\Designer V5.0.0\Design Themes\MyCustomTheme
There is also a very basic design theme called Vanilla (that’s why it’s not named after a mountain) that can be copied and used as a base for your new design theme.
A style sheet (.CSS cascading style sheet) defining the basic stylistic aspects of a design them, such as the fonts, colors, and table styles. There are two ways to change a design theme’s look and feel:
Modify the class definitions within the style sheet. This is the easiest way to modify a design theme and works best when you want to make global cosmetic changes.
Modify the design theme’s look and feel by changing the HTML within the various panel files themselves. This works best for very specific changes to an individual panel file.
