Anyone using Flexy rectangles skin or Fashion Mosaic?

Hi Weckie,

Is your cart heavily modified? Reason I'm asking is that talking with X-Cart, I won't be able to run the install script for fashion mosaic/flexy rectangles to swap between the various four colour schemes provided. So I guess that mean manually updating. I'm wondering what you do to change to a different colour scheme?

Thanks

Dan

i dont change the color scheme, my xcart is modified (not heavy) but if i do not change the scheme because my modifications would be gone.

but you can always use ONLY the CSS files from different color schemes. Just copy them into your skin1 directorie. That should do it. Maybe you have to copy the images that comes with the color scheme.

I dont know, but i can imagine that this should work without altering your TPL files.....

Its just an idea, i didn't do it myself...

I am just setting up my website using Fashion Mosaic. I am not a programmer and also new to X-Cart - so it's a little slow going right now. The Finest Shops folks have been an immense help. My previous experience has been with Yahoo Store - and there is a BIG difference! I am seriously considering moving my current Yahoo Store over to X-Cart.

If you want to take a look at my site: www.purelypearls.com Just remember that it is very much Under Construction! No logo yet and home page photo needs to be replaced

I really liked the translation module. This is the first chance I have had to see it in action.

I'm building my new shop using fashion mosaic.

I haven't changed the index page yet and I'm still entering products so I can see how things work and how I want to change them.

You can see it at http://www.my-wedding-wishes.co.uk/xcart/home.php

Any suggestions on design etc. will be gratefully received.

How did you modify your top Header , we tried to modify the head tamplate but it does not change. What was the file you had to modify? Also for the footer as well these new skins do not change like the old standard one did.

I used Flexy Rectangles but had to modify a lot to get rid of "pink" - it's a guy thing.

Site in progress - not live yet - but design is done.

I'm using flexy rectangles techno. I like the skin a lot but I have't changed it at all yet as its a new install. I did notice a minor bug with version 4.0.18. If you choose any other colours apart from default it makes the background gifs tile rather than repeat on the y axis - you get a ripple effect. Kinda looks like corrugated cardboard.
