Hi Greg, Themes should work but... a) a number of people have said that the current instructions for creating a theme http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_CreatingNewThemes doesn't work. There is a comment there from danielbragion with updated information.
==>> Your help in testing Daniel's instructions would be appreciated. Send your step by step instructions to this list and we can update the wiki. IMHO, the best example would be to create a new theme, "MyNewTheme" so you can show how to have Timeline use it instead of the default. b) Yes, the Theme should be used by Timeline. Eg http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/source/browse/timeline/trunk/src/webapp/api/scripts/original-painter.js on line 414 appears to use the Theme to set the tape height. And function Timeline.OriginalEventPainter.prototype.paint (line 58 of the same file), uses the Theme for computing the metrics object. The metrics and theme object are then passed to every event's painter. So if your changes to the theme are not taking effect, my guess is that your new theme is not yet being used. Good luck and please document your steps for the next person. Regards, Larry ps. Please start a new post thread if you're changing subjects. It makes it easier for others to find the posts that are most relevant to their situations.
