CSS elements in PatternSkin

This page is a reference for all CSS classes used in PatternSkin.

PatternSkin uses 4 stylesheets:
  • layout.css: positioning of block elements on the page
  • style.css: margins, paddings, borders, font sizes
  • colors.css: text colors, background colors, border colors
  • print.css: optimalizations for printed page

Naming conventions

  • All PatternSkin specific classes have the prefix pattern: patternEditPage, patternTopicAction, etcetera.
  • Foswiki specific classes (emitted by the Foswiki engine) have the prefix foswiki: foswikiButton, foswikiToc, etcetera. See AppendixCascadingStyleSheets for a complete list.
  • Positional containers are referred by id, for instance #patternSideBar.

Namespaces

PatternSkin uses namespaces for templates, by adding one (sometimes two - multiple) class names to the template's body tag.

  • The body tag in view.pattern.tmpl for instance has the class name "patternViewPage": <body class="patternViewPage">. All CSS elements specific to the view template thus can be defined as .patternViewPage .someClassName.
  • All templates that are not the view template have the body class name "patternNoViewPage". That makes it easy to give all of these pages a different layout (smaller or wider margins for instance) in one sweep. Template edit.pattern.tmpl uses <body class="patternNoViewPage patternEditPage">.
