SID-02415: PatternSkin H2 Refuses Modification

Status:	Asked	TWiki version:	6.0.2	Perl version:	5.10.1
Category:	PatternSkin	Server OS:	Linux 2.6.32	Last update:	6 years ago

I want to modify the formatting of the headers to an IMHO more consistent appearance. I have been mostly successful but one annoying formatting quirk is left: All headers h1 to h6 behave the same but h2 still shows the known colour gradient in the background. What is really strange is that when I let the page reload, the page shows up absolutely perfect, continues with some data transfer, and when the last transfer is done, the h2 heading changes its appearance and gets the colour gradient.

So, to me, it seems that the color.css and style.css are obeyed on and some final action messes up the h2 format.

Any hints?

Discussion and Answer

You can customize the PatternSkin. See PatternSkinCssCookbook, PatternSkinCss

Test case:

• Set USERSTYLEURL = /p/pub/Support/SID-02415/style.css

The style.css attachment removes the gray background from the H2 header.

H1 Heading

H2 Heading

Blah

H3 Heading

H4 Heading

H5 Heading

H6 Heading

... well, it works on twiki.org ... but ...

I inserted the definition into our style.css just before the Links section.

No change.

The page still builds up correctly and with the last data transfer the style of h2 changes back to a line with a gradient.

To me it seems that style.css is not the cause but something that happens after its definitions have been applied. Can it be that some plugin or whatever has final command over the styles?
