In this menu, you'll find additional menu items that allow you to edit a layout's stylesheets in the Stylesheet Editor.

• Edit Layout Styles

  Opens the editor for editing the entire stylesheet.

• Edit Custom Styles

  Here, you have the option to define your own styles.

  If you make changes to stylesheets, you should have a solid understanding of the subject matter. Errors in the stylesheets can affect the portal's performance. All CSS rules defined in this stylesheet override Intrexx styles if the selector name used by Intrexx styles is the same as that used for user-defined styles. In the Layout, Calendar, and Calendar Navigator styles, you can modify the style properties of all rules; however, you cannot add new rules or modify existing selectors. Even your own comments are not saved.

• Edit Custom Styles for Print Version

  Opens the stylesheet where you can define CSS rules for printing pages from the browser's "Print" menu. These rules are appended to the "print.css" stylesheet.

  Settings for printing Intrexx pages can be changed in the layout properties on the "Print" tab.

• Edit Image@2x Styles

  In this stylesheet, you can define styles for optimizing images displayed on Retina displays.
