This material overlaps a lot with this User Handbook page and probably should be consolidated with that (e.g. by adding the Mike Stenhouse links to that page)


The arrangement of the stylesheets follows a layout designed by Mike Stenhouse and documented at his site. The different stylesheets are:

Typography
Provides fundamental font information, including face, size and weight. Font colour is generally not defined here.
Colours
Specifies the font, background, border and link colors.
Layout various
Most of your site specific changes will occur here, especially in conjunction with the templates of the corresponding names.
Nav Vertical and Horizontal
Controls the menu navigation bars
Forms
All form related styles are defined here.
Tools
Various CSS idioms that help make the styles work better in different browsers. You'll rarely, if ever, need to modify these (background information).
