Text transform on profile menu
Ning To Jamroom
To date, I have been making changes to templates solely in the ACP template editor. I sometimes copy the text into JEdit locally to look at it (for example long lines without scrolling and for search/replace, etc) but I always copy the changes back up rather than FTPing them. This means I can also save a local copy of template changes.
For CSS stuff it's been a mixed bag. Sometimes I will make the changes using the style editor in the ACP and sometimes I will make the changes locally and FTP them up.
There are a couple of reasons for this, the biggest of which is that sometimes the style editor interface won't offer me values I like.
One example of this is the class .blog-index-text in index.css. The ACP picker for line-height only offers 5 pixel increments and font-size doesn't offer odd heights above 14px. So I could not select, from the ACP style editor, 15 pixel text on 17 pixel line heights. This is weird because I can't ever see selecting a line height of 600px which is the limit of the picker. SO - something is going on there.
The picker for .blog-index-title also does not offer odd line heights above 14px.
The font-size range for most sites is going to be 7-24 px. and I really think that line-height can be specified numerically (either 1.1, 1.7) or % (110%, 170%) without any problem at all. Direct entry makes a lot more sense, maybe with a picker offering px, ##, or % as options.
