dotProject Themes How to change dotProject themes DotProject themes are not distributed much, because there are not many developers w ho are eager to create such themes. The dotProject script comes with three themes pre-installed and the developers believe this is more than enough for the client. Anyw ay, themes can be edited if you have some basic knowledge of php/html. The theme content can be found inside your dotproject install directory under the folder "style". You need to copy one of the folders w ith another name (the one of the theme you are going to create). Then you can edit the files inside so that they suit your needs. Changing dotProject theme is easy: 1. to your dotProject 2. Click on "System "

3. Select "Default Preferences" 4. Select from the dropdown menu your theme name

5. Click on Submit at the bottom of the page. If you happen to find or purchase a theme, just extract the content of the archive they provide you with inside the 'style' folder and then follow the steps above to activate it. siteground.com/…/printtutorial.php
