---+!! CSS elements in !PatternSkin

This page is a reference for all CSS classes used in PatternSkin.

%TOC{title="Page contents:"}%

!PatternSkin uses 4 stylesheets:
   * [[%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkinTheme/layout.css][layout.css]]: positioning of block elements on the page
   * [[%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkinTheme/style.css][style.css]]: margins, paddings, borders, font sizes
   * [[%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkinTheme/colors.css][colors.css]]: text colors, background colors, border colors
   * [[%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkin/print.css][print.css]]: optimalizations for printed page

---++ Naming conventions

   * All !PatternSkin specific classes have the prefix =pattern=: patternEditPage, patternTopicAction, etcetera. 
   * Foswiki specific classes (emitted by the Foswiki engine) have the prefix =foswiki=: foswikiButton, foswikiToc, etcetera. See AppendixCascadingStyleSheets for a complete list.
   * Positional containers are referred by id, for instance =#patternSideBar=.

---++ Namespaces

!PatternSkin uses namespaces for templates, by adding one (sometimes two - multiple) class names to the template's body tag. 

   * The body tag in view.pattern.tmpl for instance has the class name "patternViewPage": =&lt;body class="patternViewPage"&gt;=. All CSS elements specific to the view template thus can be defined as =.patternViewPage .someClassName=.
   * All templates that are _not_ the view template have the body class name "patternNoViewPage". That makes it easy to give all of these pages a different layout (smaller or wider margins for instance) in one sweep. Template edit.pattern.tmpl uses =&lt;body class="patternNoViewPage patternEditPage"&gt;=.
