[05:42:19] k-man: as i only want to make those particualr fields wider, would it be better to define a new class called mybaseverywideselector or something, and change the fields in question to that class?
[05:42:25] k-man: and change that class's width

[07:19:38] gbee: k-man: I wouldn't bother with a new base definition in that case, just modify the ones in that screen
[07:20:16] k-man: gbee: ah, so i can override the base definition in a particular instance?
[07:21:05] gbee: oh yes, the base definitions are just a convenience to save work, you don't even need them
[07:21:27] k-man: ah, i see, cool
[07:21:40] k-man: ill give that a go tonight or sometime in the next 3 months when i get a second ;)
[07:27:47] k-man: gbee: so something like this? (can't test now as i'm not at home) http://perl.nopaste.dk/p1988
[07:29:08] gbee: <area>250,75,395,40</area>
[07:29:19] gbee: no need for the position tag
[07:30:07] gbee: but yes, depending on the theme that may work, it won't work with them all though because they use images which won't stretch or they don't use % based dimensions
[07:30:38] gbee: but you can change or add anything in that local definition
[07:31:18] gbee: you can even copy/paste the full definition from base.xml and just change the bits you want (and the name)
[07:36:18] k-man: gbee: ok – what do i do once i modify the file to see the changes in the front end? I fiddled with it this morning a but and quit out of the schedule screen and came back in but couldn't see any of the changes i had made
[07:36:41] gbee: shouldn't have to do anything more than that
[07:37:00] gbee: unless you've changed anything in base.xml, in which case you need to restart the frontend
[07:37:40] gbee: if it's not working then that suggests the changed files aren't being put in the right directory, the frontend log should indicate where they are being loaded from
[07:38:43] k-man: gbee: ahh! thats what I was doing this morning. so if i edit the schedule-ui file, i can just restart that screen?
[07:39:02] k-man: ah cool, ill check out the log too
[07:39:49] k-man: thanks for the tips – hopefully i can fix it up and maybe even submit a patch
[07:40:20] k-man: ok, gtg, bye

[16:59:12] gbee: iamlindoro: <weight>5</weight> should equate to using <bold>? I working on the DTD and to keep things tidy I'd like to start transitioning themes to use weight instead but I don't want to change the appearance
[17:00:08] iamlindoro: gbee: Yes, that should be correct
[17:00:20] iamlindoro: or <weight>bold</wight>
[17:00:23] iamlindoro: er </weight>
[17:00:45] gbee: thanks
