Save it as layout/mytheme.css, put
<set ColorScheme="mytheme"> in pisg.cfg, run pisg.
Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored — the file is built in your browser, and
Copy link puts the palette in the address bar so you can send it to somebody.
#What ships
Four schemes came with 1.0a and eight have been in the box since the
SourceForge days. <set ColorScheme="modern"> in pisg.cfg is the
whole change. The sample pages are real pisg 1.0a output, every section included, made from an
invented channel — forty made-up regulars over two months — so nobody real is in them.
The eight classics, brought forward
The old schemes still work exactly as they always did —
<set ColorScheme="ocean"> and you get the page you remember. They have also been
converted to the 1.0a palette, so you can have the classic colours with the new
layout and the new sections: pick one in the sidebar and download it. The conversion keeps each
theme's own link colour, headline colour and its four bar colours — read straight out of the
sprite each file carries — and lifts anything that would not have read on the new layout.
#Write your own, by hand
A theme is one CSS file. pisg writes plain HTML with stable class names and drops your stylesheet into the page — no template language, no build step, nothing to learn beyond CSS. The creator above is a convenience, not a requirement.
--variables are the only lines you need to touch.
pisg.cfg and run pisg. The name is the file name
in layout/ without .css. Give a path or a URL instead and pisg links
to it rather than embedding it; "none" writes the body only, for pasting into a
page of your own. See ColorScheme and
CssDir.
