Adding background color variable to themeMagic

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I was trying to edit the thememagic parameters as per
these instructions

Can anyone explain Step #5 - Define language key
Do I need to do this?

Step 3 & 4 - Define and add LESS parameter
Is this the right place to add code?
templates/revision/less/themes/mytheme/variables.css

I'm adding
@bodyBackground:        transparent;


Do custom themes get overwritten with template update?

Hi,

As I mentioned in your other post, theme magic variables get written to variables-custom.less

Regards,
Rob

OK.

One more thing... Any idea what step #5 is about? Not sure what it does.

I was going to ask on T3 forum but their discussion/forum page seems to be down. (Not noticeable until you login and then it goes to error page).

Its only relevant if you are changing language from English - is that the case?

hmm see what you mean about the errors on the forum

I think the problem is if you try to either join or log in with the wrong details

tnx for letting them know.

No the site is all English, looks like I can safely skip that step.

I am having a hard time finding the Thememagic.xml file as per instructions
(step 1 & 2 - Define a new group and Define parameter in new group)

Where is it located?

Hi Robert,

Some themes have the Theme Magic settings inside the templateDetails.xml file.

So if it's an earlier theme you can find them ethere.

Thanks
