Skinning Project

To customise the look of your Shartak page, you will need a web server to host the required files due to a security restriction in Firefox (and probably Internet Explorer too). The original Shartak Skinning Project files are hosted on Shartak's main webserver, but yours can be hosted anywhere and don't take much space.

Required files at a minimum are the stylesheet (.css) file for defining your styles and any images that your stylesheet needs.

An example of the stylesheet file can be found at http://www.shartak.com/skin/lama.css

The first line of the stylesheet must (in order to include the default Shartak styles) be

@import url('http://www.shartak.com/styles.css');

After this, any normal CSS can be added although typically it'll just be background images for the different tile types which should be specified using the full url of wherever you've hosted the images.

If you host your css at http://www.domain.com/shartak.css and put the images in the same folder as the shartak.css file then you would refer to the images in the CSS file as follows.

.beach { background: url('http://www.domain.com/beach.gif'); }
