acquia marina 2 theme settings for theme fonts

Posted on January 13, 2010 - 19:36 by Selwyn Polit.

I'm not seeing where I can turn off the theme settings for theme fonts in the latest Acquia Marina. These seem to be overriding my own local.css file styles. I'd like to make verdana the main font for the site and I can't turn off the acquia settings- " Select a font family" has to be on and verdana is not the main font in any of those families. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

I'm happy to have seen the good response to my "What shall we do about themes?" post. I'm particularly glad to see a bunch of self-described designers participating, and to see the thoughtfulness of the comments.

From the 50+ comments, a few consistent messages emerged (no editorial pen here; just consolidating / summarizing):

Trouble fixing date issue

Posted on January 10, 2009 - 14:50 by Marjorie Roswell.

Trying to resolve a major usability issue at BaltimoreUrbanAg dot Org

The lovely formatted datestamps are confusing: For events I want the datestamp to be replaced by display of the Date of the EVENT, not the date the event was posted.

I copied node.tpl.php to node-event.tpl.php. (see code below, plus a few line numbers.)

Line 1. As it was from TopNotchTheme (I added comment)
Line 2. Prints out the whole event date, as expected

What's the best way to theme a view?

Posted on December 5, 2008 - 17:04 by Allen S.

I'm trying to avoid messing with core files, so I hope you don't need to do that to make changes to the templates that drive some of the basic theming of views. But I don't like the look of the table-information template for views, regardless of the theme I use. Any instructions for a newbie to get started on theming views?
