Yay, thanks! Going to try out that CSS feature now! |

Fantastic! It's like you were reading my mind with the subtitle support! |

"Global CSS styles It's now possible to have all CSS styles for all pages in your whole website be generated into one single file. Use the option "one single file" for this in the settings" Hi. Can you explain the difference between for one file and for every page? Is it means that there will be one css-file instead many when published site on local disc or server? |

Before version 6.4, you could only say "put CSS code in external .css file" or not. For each .html file, it would then create an additional .css file and place the css styles there. Now you can additional say that it should use just one single .css file, shared between all .html files. Note that it's not just the various css files merged into one file, because that would not work (like one .html could for example set a global style for links on its pages, and another .html file could do that too, but with another color for example). So it does some extra work so that all styles still are in one file and look correctly on each page. Additionally, it merges similar text styles for example, so that they are reused across pages. But if you enter some additional css style, this then affects all pages because it's placed into the common shared .css file. |

As david86 just asked in the other thread: Does an external global CSS have any advantages? Besides possibly minimally faster loading times? Technically, I'd say it doesn't matter - it's not even faster anymore with today's http protocol updates. But it probably looks nicer - less files and you have a central place where to add custom css styles. But if you don't know how you could use that feature, you likely don't need it. |

Thanks for update. One question, what is the file in the instalation folder - WebView2Loader?, i have never seen it before, it exists in portable version also. |
||||

It's a dll from a Microsoft SDK for showing a browser in an app. It's not used in the current version but for a planned feature. |

I just downloaded and tried out the 6.4 version. The introduction of a global css file is just great. There are a lot of repititions still. I created a site with 10 pages + 1 Masterpage. All pages are identical - same header, same footer, same navigation and one container which contains the place holder for the individual sites. All individual pages have different texts - all formatted identically. RC creates multiple enteries for the headers, footers, navigation and link colours. For each page its own set. And all the sets are identical. Colour picker: In the properties window, you can select the colour of the links. When I click on the 3 dots, it shows me a colour picker. I select a new colour but cannot apply it directly. I have to copy the colour code and enter it manually. It would be much nicer to be able to double click a colour to apply it. Multiple page Selection: Is there anyway I can select multiple pages and change properties for all in one go? When I set up a master page and base pages on it. RC doesnot automatically apply the link colours to the "sub" pages. So there should be a way of applying the same colours site wide. That would be easy if there was a way of selecting more than one page. Doing a great job Niko, hope my feedback helps. Best regards. |

PS: RC doesn't seem to save the option of using a single css file. After publishing, going back to republish it goes back to the option of one file for every page. |

Thanks for reporting - you are partially right: The option dialog doesn't show the set option correctly on some systems when opened again - and if you press OK it will change it to the one it shows. But it works correctly apart from that. Will create a small update soon with a fix. Sorry for the inconvenience. |

I don't know if I'm missing something here. If I set one external css file how do I edit it in RC? I'm trying to set global styles for h1, h2 h3 etc and text in every div of a particular type in the same way styles work in Word. |

You can probably just click View -> HTML Code of page -> Additional CSS styles and type them there. |
||||
|
I think I have misunderstood the idea of one css file for the whole site introduced in 6.4 With 30 to 40 pages in each of the sites changing css on every page will be very time consuming. |
||||
|
If you put your own CSS code into just one page but have one global css file - then your css code applies to all pages. |
