HELP!!!! BULLETS/STYLE SHEETS!!!!

hello all,
i can't figure out how to include bullets in my paragraph style sheets. all i'm using for bullets is the square glyph in arial, colored blue, with a .25 tab. can someone help? i'm in desperate need of this solution. thanks in advance.

A guess -- two, actually. You're using CS3, and you've discovered you can set the colour and font using a character style?

Numbered List and Bulleted List w/ Custom Style Sheet

Hi,
I am a new user to RoboHelp 7, and must say I find it useful
but also painful to use. Currently I’m trying to solve
something that feels like a bug in RoboHelp 7, but before I give in
and accept defeat I wanted to check with the forum.
I have FrameMaker 8, and import the files to RH where I use
them to create WebHelp projects.
Here’s a short procedure:
1. I Import my files with a predefined style sheet matching
the FM styles.
2. I also check the Convert to HTML list option and set all
numbering and bullet styles to User defined.
- After import RH does the usual thing and creates a bunch
of style sheets on its own
3. I select all the files from the Topic List pod and apply a
new custom style sheet. This enables me to have one style sheet for
all the HTML files with the right layout and formatting
4. I generate the output, and RH uses the new style sheet
reference
The resulting HTML files shows that the output is not the
same as the generated HTML shown in RH’s HTML editor view
- Editor view: <li class=”style”>
- Browser view: <li>
6. If I make a change (e.g. add a space) and save the HTML
file, and generate the project again the HTML is correct in the
browser
One could argue that it’s not a big problem; however,
with a large project this is starting to look more like a nightmare
Does anyone know of this problem, and if so can it be fixed?
Kind regards,
Jon

Is this the time when I get really angry at Adobe for creating the worst FrameMaker/RoboHelp integration ever? No! However, I must admit that I'm amazed that they are unable to solve an important feature as conversion of lists from a FrameMaker document to a RoboHelp WebHelp project. When I say conversion I mean a clean conversion with minimal interference from RoboHelp that allows me to use CSS to its full extent.
Here's the problem, and this was also the problem with RoboHelp 7 and FrameMaker 8. BTW, I use standalone versions (not TCS 1 or 2).
Figures: First image depicts FrameMaker 9's Paragraph Designer and the Autonumber format for a paragraph named VizNumbered. Second image depicts the RoboHelp 8's conversion setting.
FrameMaker uses Autonumbering in front of paragraphs to create lists. This means that you in RoboHelp need to manage two formats, the autonumber and the paragraph style.
RoboHelp does of course not (by default) use Autonumbering in front of paragraphs because a RoboHelp WebHelp project is HTML based, and list tags in HTML can perfectly handle any formatting of text etc.
RoboHelp will convert, when "Convert Autonumber to HTML List" is selected, the Autonumber in FrameMaker to a list tag (LI). By default this will generate a list with a lot of margin, font and other CSS properties that tries to simulate the way the list is laid out in the FrameMaker document. In addition to the list tags it will convert the FrameMaker paragraph to a P tag which it inserts within a list tag. The issue you will experience with this is that indentations with the paragraph tag does not align properly between line 1 and 2. At the same time the WebHelp project will not look the same in IE, Firefox or Chrome. That is, Chrome and Firefox will look the same, and IE different. IE has the WYSIWYG feel, but it does not comply well with W3C standards (i.e. using P tags enclosed by LI tags is not a good idea ...).
Selecting "Convert Autonumber to RoboHelp List" does something similar, but is not recommended at all!
So, here's the big question. How can I make sure RoboHelp understands that I ONLY need to define a list tag with a CSS class attribute attached to it?
Today I basically only get the following:
<li><p class=""></p></li> or,
<p class=""></p>
What I want is the following:
<li class=""></li>
Can this be solved with today's versions, can anyone help me, or do I have to wait for the Adobe development team to realize this and to fix it?

Help with bullet style in external CSS

I'm learning Dreamweaver after using Frontpage. I'm also kind
of new with external stylesheets. And am stuck on formatting
bullets. I can't seem to figure out the code for a bullet style and
only find code for inline style sheets.
More importantly, I can't create leading between the bullets.
In FrontPage, I just set paragraph spacing before and after (for
instance, 6 pt). Would it be margin-bottom? Anyway, here is the
code I have, but when I apply it, no bullets appear.
.bullet {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-align: left;
list-style-position: outside;
list-style-type: disc;
Thanks, Susan

The CSS rule is the same whether it is use inline, in the
<header> part
of the document or an external stylesheet.
In your CSS sample below, you defined a class with the proper
declarations, but most likely you did not apply that class to
your list
in the HMTL.
<ul class="bullet">
<li>......
If every list is styled the same way, you can simply
(re)define the ul
tag in your stylesheet.
ul {font-family....}
If you want leading between the bullets there are several
different
possibilities like applying padding, margin using line-height
but in any
case you have to apply it to the list items - <li>
To go with your example, the CSS would be:
.bullet li {padding: 6pt 0}
Be careful with using pt as a measure on screen though.
Although you are
permitted to doing so, it is more advisable to use pixels or
event
better a relative measure such as em.

Need help with media-print style sheets

I am trying to create a style sheet for printing only for pages on my site. I have found a lot of the same information describing how to remove unwanted items, and change colors and so forth for the items to be printed. My problem is that after the unwanted parts of the page are removed, the remaining test to be printed does not "flow" into the areas previously occupied by other elements. The printed text remains in the location on the page that it occupies on the webpage. How do I get the text to "take over" the whole page?
Below is the style definition for the text content as it is displayed on the screen:
div.mainBody {
     position:absolute;
     left:210px;
     top:145px;
     width:640px;
     height:595px;
     background-color:#000000;
     font : normal normal normal/normal Book Antiqua MS Sans Serif Times New Roman;
     text-align: justify;
     color:#CCCCCC;
And here is the "new" definition for the text as it should be printed:
.mainBody {
     position: absolute !important;
     left: 0px;
     top: 0px;
     width: 100%;
     margin: 0;
     padding: 0;
     background: white;
     font: normal normal normal/normal Book Antiqua MS Sans Serif Times New Roman;
     text-align: justify;
     color: #000;
     float: none;
     display: inline;
All other elements on the page are "turned off" with "{ display: none; }"
Why am I having so much trouble with such a simple thing?
Thanks for any help!

Hello Mark,
why do you think a feedback forum for Oracle forums is the right place to ask this question?

Help with Styles/Style Sheets

The area of styles and style sheets has been an immense frustration for me in AW pretty much forever. I'm simply unable to make them work in the way that all the documentation seems to indicate that they should and, worse than that, I seem to be unable to make them consistently fail in the same way from one try to the next.
The most common failing, the one that represents it coming as close to working as I seem to ever see it, is when applying a paragraph style to another selected paragraph and seeing all of the Paragraph but none of the Text formatting coming through: The indenting and line spacing will be changed correctly, and any and all Style info (from Text:Style, I mean) comes through correctly, but no change occurs to the original font or size.
The custom style does display the correct font information, but the 'original' fond style and size don't change.
I can't believe that after all of this time and effort I'm still missing something, but perhaps I am. If anyone could manage to point out just what that is then I'd be eternally grateful.

Thank you for the quick and helpful response.
I'm pretty sure I understand about setting the desired style info and I can usually, but not always, see what I was trying to set up displayed in the Text and Para. Attributes flippies.
Not, however, always. In those cases when the font is displayed, but not the size, then size changes aren't passed along and you'll usually also see other strangeness (see below). The solution for this problem, for me at least, is to repeat the process but this time first change the font to something else and then back to the desired setting; for some reason, this will force it to appear and to work normally, more or less.
A simple way for me to tell whether or not the Styles Window is going to be working as it should is to click on different paragraphs and watch the display in the Styles window. When things are as normal as I think they get, the checkmark will accurately display the style currently assigned to that paragraph; if not, it will not.
When things are working correctly, then style selection works normally and clicking anywhere in a paragraph to be changed, then double-clicking on the desired style in the Styles Window, will result in a proper change to that style (or as well as it can, given the difficulties you see with compound styles and attributes becoming 'stuck').
When not working correctly, OTOH, the whole function is different. Clicking on a paragraph, as mentioned above, won't necessarily correctly indicate the current style for that para., and double-clicking on the new desired style will do nothing at all. Instead, in these cases, you must have the entire paragraph selected before double-clicking on the style desired and, after doing so, you'll see that although para. attributes will seemingly always be changed it's very common (almost the rule, actually) that some or all of the differing text attributes won't be applied, even though they are correctly displayed in the body of the style itself.
I've been about as careful as I can be in setting up and testing all of this and for the life of me can't see clear reasons why outcomes are so different between two identical test documents. There are other oddities, such as the fact that editing of a style via the menu structure works fairly well and as described as long as the Styles Window itself is working correctly, as described above, but gets wildly different results if it is not.
Even when working correctly, it seems to always leave the 'case zero' paragraph, the one that originated the style, unchanged in one way or another; for example, I wound up with a document having four identical paragraphs, all having the same style assigned, and all showing the same style assigned in the Styles Window, but having different appearances: The original style was Bold and, after that was removed in the editing process, the other 3 paragraphs correctly showed normal, i.e., not Bold, font. The first para. continued to be bold, and to show Bold as checked in the menu, even though the Style did not call for it to be.
As in other cases where things got stuck in some way or another, this was cleared by editing again, going into the style menu (Text:Style, I mean), and cycling things. In this case, this meant first selecting Bold, then deselecting it; after that, the lead paragraph displayed correctly.
Those are just a few examples of what I've been seeing and dealing with. It's not the simplest of features but, between the contents of AW > Help and _AW 6: The Missing Manual_ I think I should have a good enough idea of how it works and how to use it. Unfortunately, it just seems to occasionally be wandering off and getting lost.

Style Sheets: Retrofitting previously-numbered lists

Hello wonderful INDD community!
I have learned so much since my last visit here, and I want to say Thank you! You've helped me "up my game" with nested style sheets and grep!
Working on the same catalog project as I was discussing before, and I've run into this quandary:
This catalog has quite a lot of numbered lists, most of which were already numbered when I got them. I'm wanting to differentiate the numbers from the titles (which I've further differentiated from the descriptions using Nested Styles), but am having trouble deciding the best way to do it.
The reason I bring my woes here is because this group, I know, members here will help me find the BEST way to do it! Not just any ole way.
I sort of see two ways of approaching it:
Using GREP Styles to identify the item numbers and also to insert a second tab to allow me to right-align the numbers. The 1st part, I think I can do, the 2nd part kind of makes my head spin.
Converting these hand-typed numbered lists to INDD auto-numbered lists. The hurdle here, to me, is how to get rid of the debris of the hand-typed numbers in some easy automated way? This concept is kind of the reverse of INDD's "Convert Bullets and Numbering to Text" feature. A "Convert Text to Numbering" command.
Now, it's easy for me to believe that somebody here in this forum has a better idea. I just wanted to prove to you that I've done my homework. Hours of it, in fact.
Can peoples take a look at the attached image which attempts to illustrate what I'm after?
Thanks SO MUCH,
Mick

Howdy all--
Ok with some begrudgement, I have to say that technically this works.
It's kind of slow-going though..and it's not without anguish, which isn't an indictment of Jongware's implementation; probably more an indication of my ignorance.
What I'm doing is:
Highlighting a list
Styling it to a paragraph style that uses INDD's built in auto-numbering feature
Running Jongware's GREP pattern (thank you!) to get rid of the old hand-typed numbers
Placing the cursor in the middle of the first entry and right-clicking and selecting "Restart Numbering."
I know this isn't exactly what the Doctor ordered, Jongware, but I prefer this modified workflow because it kept me from needing to change the "find/change" box back and forth between two states (even if those two states were only the one format change). I was afraid that would start boggling my brain after doing it many dozens of times..
SO-- The thing that bugs me is step #4. I don't really understand the INDD behavior when it comes to auto-numbering. In the paragraph style I created (see screen cap), if I set it to "start at 1" with a series of items highlighted, it numbers them all "1". If I say "continue from previous number," it refers to some bit of previous numbering in the story and picks up from there. Hence step #4.
Anybody care to shed some light on INDD's kind of odd auto-numbering tendencies (or my ignorance?) :-)
thanks again,
Mick

(none) style gets applied to numbered list & font size not matching text in my style sheet

RoboHelp 9 (9.0.2.271)
Something is wrong with my style sheet, and it only started happening after I created Master Page for the first time. This happens whether or not the new Master Page is applied to a topic: Every time I type any text in a topic, then click the Numbered List icon in the toolbar, the style goes from Normal to (none), and the font changes from my style sheet's Normal 10pt to 8pt, for the number as well as the text.
I don't see how the new Master Page has anything to do with it because it's not applied to this particular topic. I had created a Master Page in RoboHelp HTML and applied my style sheet, then my topics to it. I have a footer in the Master Page and applied 8pt font using inline formatting (not the style sheet).
I created a new project to see what would happen.
When I apply my style sheet, then apply the numbered list to text, the text font is correct (10pt), but the number font is wrong (8pt).
But when I apply the default style sheet to the topic, the number font and text font match.
How can I get the number and text fonts to match in my style sheet?
I found a workaround by applying inline formatting to the next (10pt) after selecting the text and clicking the numbered list icon. Below is the html code. The numbered steps in red are the ones that are not correct (8 pt). The code with the correct formatting (after I applied inline formatting) is in blue.
<body>
<h1>My Overview</h1>
<p>example</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>first step</li>
<li>second step</li>
</ol>
<ol type="1">
<li style="font-size: 10pt;">Fixed by applying inline formatting to
10pt after selecting the numbered list icon</li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;">next step</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<?rh-placeholder type="footer" ?>
</body>
Thanks.

Amebr,
That was helpful. I'm looking at a topic now, and both the Apply Style list on the Formatting toolbar show (none) when I click a numbered list that I created using the Created a Numbered List or Create a Bulleted List on the toolbar.
This is the html code for the correct font (10pt):
<ol>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
</ol>
Both styles list show the correct custom styles I created for numbered lists, though. Below is the code (correct font):
<ol>
<li class="p-ProcedureSteps"><p class="ProcedureSteps">this is from
my custom numbered style and looks correct</p></li>
</ol>
What's strange is, if I create a list and highlight it, then click the Apply Numbered List button in the toolbar, the numbers and text font size changes to 8 point and my Normal font is 10 pt, and both style lists show (none). That's what I wanted to figure out in my original post. I opened up the stylesheet and I don't see where that's applied. In Flare, you can easily see in a table how the styles are formatted, down to each class.
This is the code for the incorrect font (8pt):
<ol type="1">
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
</ol>
Below is a screenshot.
Maybe someone can figure this out. Thanks!

Import Word to RH8 - can't select Style sheet to apply

When importing a Word file to RH8 the new dialogue box series needs me to apply my style sheet on the 2nd screen...but even though Help says that a list will be provided, it is greyed out and I can't chose/add one:
This causes all the numbers and bullets to be corrupted. How do I get my style sheet to be available? Thank you!

No it doesn't, that's why it's greyed out. Click the Edit button to get at the settings you need.

Configure Numbered and Bulleted Styles in CSS

I have searched and read a lot of postings re:Numbered and Bulleted styles/lists in the CSS setup and still have no clue how this was changed in the most recent build of RoboHelp HTML or the correct way to apply and get to work.
In X5 of RoboHelp HTML, I had a CSS style sheet with 5 paragraph styles with bullets. I did not create a list - I simply bulleted the style. When I apply one of these styles to a paragraph it adds a bullet.
I upgraded to RoboHelp HTML X8.0.2.208 and my bulleted styles are a total mess. The styles are still in the CSS, but when applied there is no bullet - it adds a number (then I have to click the Bullet icon button on the toolbar to apply a bullet). I have tried to find release notes or some documentation explaining the change and can find none. I have reviewed Peter Grange's site information about lists and multilevel lists, but see no reason why I cannot just apply a bullet directly on a style without using the list or multilevel list.
I guess the issue may be my stupidity on the configuration and use of lists and multilevel lists. Is there any documentation from Adobe that outlines the change that occurred as of this most recent build? I am looking for an explanation of how a list corresponds to a style and how to get the style to work correctly. Ironically, the online help has been no help at all.
As always, thanks to any feedback or direction.
Michael F Weart

OK - sorry have not posted my solution and it works for me...
This is what I did to create a single level bulleted style using bulleted list:
(1) Create a MultiLevel List Style called BulletedList
I have only defined Level 1 of the MultiLevel List
For that Level 1 - I DID NOT specify a Paragraph Style
For that Level 1 - I selected List Style of DISC
For that Level 1 - I defined the Edit Style as <x>
Saved this MultiLevel List style with a name of BulletedList
(2) Created a Paragraph Style called NBullet
Font is set to Arial 10pt
Spacing/After is set to 6pt
From Indents line - clicked the AutoNumber icon button
This opens the List for Autonumbering dialog and I set the following:
Checked the box for Inherit Numbering Property from Multilevel List
Selected BulletedList from the List Class drop down
Selected List Level as "1"
Clicked OK to apply and return to Paragraph Style Setup dialog
On Paragraph Style Setup dialog clicked the Format drop down button
Selected Paragraph formatting
Defined Left Indentation of .5in
Defined Special Indentation of Hanging .25in
(3) Clicked OK to save the Paragraph style called NBullet
When I look at the drop down list of styles within a topic, the style name appears as "1 NBullet". Don't let the "1" fool you - when I apply that style the "disc" bullet is applied and NOT a number (it just displays a number in the style name for some reason that escapes me).
I now have my bulleted style back and it works fine.
NOTE: I do not like to reformat anything, so I set up an NBullet (Spacing After set to 6pt), NBulletSpace (Spacing After set to 12pt) and NBulletLast (Spacing After set to 18pt).
I also set up "bullet continuation" paragraph styles so I can lead with a bulleted line of text and then follow with "additional information" paragraph that aligns to the text in the bulleted lead paragraph line - that paragraph style is NBulletContinue defined with NO autonumber setup and the Format/Paragraph set to Indent/Left .75in (which aligns the text to the text of the bulleted paragraph).
I set up the same paradigm of NBulletContinue, NBulletContinueSpace and NBulletContinueLast.
=============
Aside from the Style name appearing in the Style list when working in a topic as "1 NBullet", "1 NBulletSpace" and "1 NBulletLast" the formatting works and looks great (and note - the style name when I go into CSS formatting does not have the leading "1").
Also note, if I use the Increase Indent option when working in a topic on the NBullet styled paragraph, the Level 2 bullet list format is applied. I HAVE NEVER and WILL NEVER use the Increase or Decrease Indent functionality (either in Word or RoboHTML).
All of my CSS styles match the naming convention used in my Word template - making it easier to push content back and forth between Word and RoboHTML.
=============
My approach may be non-standard and may not be within the spirit of this functionality, but it works for me and I get the formatting I need.
One last note on the comment of the "sluggishness of the product" for x8 - I had the same problem and then I applied the two patches that were made available. The difference in the response time was VERY noticeable in a GOOD way. Search for and apply both fixes to RoboHTML x8 and you will see a pronounced difference. I also got my boss to approve ordering a new PC and now there is not sluggishness at all in the performance.
Thanks to all --

Is there any way to create a style sheet in APEX?

Hi experts,
I am in I am in Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g 11.2.0.1.0.
Is there any way to create a style sheet in APEX any version?
I want to create a style sheet and use APEX report column link to it.
Thanks.

Well, if that is the case, then you'll need to do some PL/SQL programming to write a package to create all of that for you, then execute the package when the 'link' column is clicked.
After your package is written, change the attributes on your link column to be a URL instead of page in your application and call it like:
javascript:{MypopUp2('http://your.server.name/print/owner.package_name.sub_procedure?key=#COL01#',800,600);}
On my system, I created a new DAD and user just for this one purpose, to read an select the information in my report, generate the HTML to display the data, etc. without leaving a loophole someone could exploit to get direct data manipulation access. My report though is a form-type report of all the data from about 40 tables for that one 'master' record, with css formatting included. I'm not directly generating a css file based upon data within the database, but simply adding the css formatting into the HTML file my package generates.
Does this help your problem?

Safari 5.0.3 not loading CSS style sheets 1st time through

When I go to my ecommerce site's https payment screen, the page HTML loads OK but the formatting is missing (so the screen is really messed up). If I hit the page re-load function the page re-loads with all the formatting corrected. It behaves the same with both the Mac and Widows versions of Safari 5.0.3. The problem did not occur on earlier versions of Safari (i.e., the Mac I use for testing the site worked perfectly on the now problematic page until I upgraded to the latest version of Safari).
The problematic page works fine with all the other browsers that I have tried (IE7, IE8, Firefox, Chrome)
My guess is that it has something to do with some @import url("css style sheet") directives that are imbedded at the beginning of the master style sheet for the page.
This problem will stop all Safari 5.0.3 users from navigating our site so it is quite serious.
Any help on this issues would be greatly appreciated.

Further investigation has revealed that the following error message is being generated within Safari during the first time the that the page is loading,
"Refused to load from document base URL. URL found within request."
The <base> directive in the HTML, in this instance, is referring to a different URL than the one that the page is running from. The page with the problem is running on a remote server and back referencing to the home server for the <base> reference. This fails when the page first loads but seems to be accepted if a page-reload is done. It also works on all other browsers that have been tested.
Is this related to a security setting in the browser?

CSS Style Sheet Link Recursive Error?

I am trying to link a css style sheet to a new root file. When I try to link the css sheet I get an error - A recursive style import was found while trying to add Check Magazine.css. Please resolve this error by editing the file in an external text editor and try again.
What does this mean? I looked up recursive style everywhere and there is no explanation. I don't know how to fix.

     for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.pages.length; myCounter++)
          if (myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).appliedSection.name != "")
               myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).appliedSection.name = "";
      var myStyle1 = "sheetlabel-text";
      var myStyle2 = "sheetlabel-text-2";
      var myParagraphs = myDoc.pages.item(0).textFrames.item(0).parentStory.paragraphs;
          var myPageName = myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).name;
      var myPNGPrefix = "";
     for( i = 0; i < myParagraphs.length; i++)
         var paragraph = myParagraphs.item(i);
if (paragraph = myStyle1)
    (myPNGPrefix = getParagraphContent(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("sheetlabel-text"), myDoc.pages.item(myCounter))+ '-0' + myPageName)
else
    (myPNGPrefix = getParagraphContent(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("sheetlabel-text-2"), myDoc.pages.item(myCounter))+ '-0' + myPageName)
Thanks for your help!

Good to hear .
Find attached the next version. You can now insert in 'paraStyleNames' as many style names as you want. The script will check from left to right, if there is one found on the page. If this is true, the script will ignore the other styles.
Removing leading zero should work now.
Maybe one problem: If one page contains no style, this page will be exported nevertheless with it’s correct page number, but with the founded text of the previous page. If this can never happen, we are done and you should mark the answer as correct. If this is a real problem for you, please let me know, what should happen in this case and I will try to fix that too.

Mapping style templates and properties to Actual Style Sheet Classes

I got this response to an email regarding creating a customized style sheet and thought others might find it useful following is my initial question and the response from David Phipps. If anyone else has input to this conversation please join in.
Initial question: I'm trying to create a highly customized style sheet and could use a matrix that maps the various properties to the styles that each property affects. I have had some success determining the specific styles that I would like to change but am unable to use the style mill with any efficacy to make those changes. We are attempting to create a single language style sheet with a unique color scheme that matches our branding. One big problem we have run into is that certain styles are called in multiple places with different backgrounds (i.e. breadcrumbText). Any help along these lines that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Response:The CSS style mapping is not terribly satisfying right now; many objects share common CSS styles, which means if you change one tiny thing the whole page changes. We don't have a matrix or spreadsheet or styleguide that lays out the page itself and defines the styles used in each point. However, the stylesheet mill should work for you, and it's possible that what you have going on is a problem with your mill or an incomplete copy of what it generates.
There are 18 styles in the portal currently; you can actually create new styles and populate them, which sounds like the option you are interested in. The mill is just an ANT script that uses the template files in the templates directory and combines them with the property files in the prop-color and prop-text directories.
The prop-text files are per language (10 languages); if you check you'll see the values are all the same right now; the idea is you could change the font names or sizes per-language if you wanted to.
The prop-color files are per style (18 styles). If you want a new set of property values for, say, style 19, you'd add a file called color.19.properties, and the mill would pick that up and generate 190 files (19 styles x 10 languages). It would then add a new line to community-themes.txt, which has a name of each style for each language, based on data it picked up from your new color.19.properties file.
The real secret is that you only add color style elements you want to override. If you want a specific set of styles to always be available, just add them directly to the appropriate template file (in your case, the portal50.template file) without using the @variable@ in place of actual values. Then you're just adding new style overrides that apply everywhere.
Finally, you can add arbitrary new properties to your new prtoperties file and use those in the template:
in portal50.template:
..actionbarPortletBg {background-color: @personal.and.interesting.setting@;}
in color.19.properties:
personal.and.interesting.setting=#ff9900
So the CSS mill is just a glorified text replacement tool.
Remember that the CSS mill works this way:
- Run make_all.bat if you're not sure and want to insure you've remilled everything, otherwise use make_community_css.bat or make_menu.bat to remill only community styles or those for the jsportalmenus dropdown, respectively.
- The resulting files are created in ptimages/tools/cssmill/css
- You have to copy the resulting files by hand to the imageserver CSS location, which is
ptimages/imageserver/plumtree/common/public/css
- You have to forcibly stop and restart your imageserver, be it Apache, Tomcat, IIS, Websphere or whatever; no matter what anyone says the new content won't show up reliably until you restart your imageserver.
You probably know all this and your real problem is the CSS is not specific enough, that is, you can't get individual items to change like you want. We have been working on this, and the new version of the portal will have much more addressable CSS styles, including the ability to specify styles for individual navigation elements, individual pages, and individual portlets. This basically meant rewriting the HTML we generate, of course.
Since you can override and rewrite chunks of our HTML as well using View Overrides, if you're in a jam we can walk you through how to rewrite specific bits of the UI that are causing you trouble - for instance, the code that generates the breadcrumbs itself.

One way to do this is to give the <body> tag an ID. In a template, you need to make the ID attribute of the <body> tag editable.
You would then have something like this in your style sheet:
#home.oneColFixCtrHdr #container #navigation li,
#services.oneColFixCtrHdr #container #navigation li,
#about.oneColFixCtrHdr #container #navigation li,
#contact.oneColFixCtrHdr #container #navigation li,
#testimonials.oneColFixCtrHdr #container #navigation li,
#links.oneColFixCtrHdr #container #navigation li
background-color:
#66ccFF;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style:
solid;
border-bottom-color: #FFFFFF;
