Customize Template

[Oistacus]

Hi ,
I customized the template , because I d like to show on the left column the module Special Products .
I customized also some file css , image etc. Copied and renamed file xx.css and I created new folder about the images .
All under folder Catalog / Style / Default . It Works fine .
BUT ...
I edited default.css and some file default to change the setting of font-size . This files , when I will update them, them will be re-write and I will lose my setting . I see in the setup ( admin/configuration / setting ) a select where I can choose the STYLE .
If I click on , there is only the value Default . If I copy and rename the folder default under Catalog / Style , I will have my customize Template with all css , image etc ?
e.g. new folder -> Micky
Can I will choose the Style between Default and Micky ?

Of course in case of updating , I will check old my file and I will add new upgrade .

The style and template are 2 different things.
You can create a new template and still use the original style, or create new style and use original template.

What is the different between them ?

The Style of what ? Because under folder style , there are images and setting of font ( file css ).
Perhaps the template is the configuration of show modules ? ( column, header, footer etc )

Sorry, I misunderstood what you are doing.
Yes, in admin settings just select the Mickey folder.
In the template manager, no, you cannot switch back and forth between the styles if that is what you are asking. It is either default or Mickey.

Brent , all work fine !
Right now I insert a new product , and I check the image . In the file attachment you can see an error .
I have customized a template product and I added the convertor , but if I click on the image , the module currency is not in background.

Do you mean the currency is visible. Yes I know that.
I have not solved that puzzle yet.
I will have a look again. Too many javascript functions all wanting to be on top.

The z-index in currency convertor is too high for lightbox. I have set to lower number to correct the visibility problem. Will be in next svn.

Hi Brent ,
I see ( in my web ) the module welcome home page has width size not equal between welcome message and description. If i set align center in code html in the welcome message and description , the second not is central , is narrowest width .
can you tell me where i can set this size for description ?
Pehaps it is set for 3 column , I use 2 column
