You'll still need to look in various places since certain parts of the
styling are dynamic. Converting them to styles is easy enough, and
external styles is possible, it just requires a number of extra changes.
I'm not sure how iBuildings would feel about that since even inline
styles make quite a few changes to ATK; only minor tweaks it's true but
it's their toolkit and I might have already made more changes than
they're happy with.
Anyway, I've knocked up a couple of crude patches. My main goal was in
removing font tags but I caught a few other minor things too. It's
largely untested if anyone wants to volunteer to help out, I doubt Ivo
will even consider it unless people can vouch for it's credibility in
the various modules and themes.
0.9.4 can be found at <http://www.caomhin.org/geek/achievo/styles.patch>
Assuming there haven't been many changes to the various styles for a
while you should be able to use the following on all other versions:
<http://www.caomhin.org/geek/achievo/styles.08> This is even more basic
than the 0.9.4 version but it'd be nice to check it all works okay.
For those that don't do these things often just cd to your achievo
directory and run:
$ patch -p1 < /path/to/patch
In case things go wrong then repeating the above will back out all the
changes.
If you just want a pre-patched version 0.9.4 then grab
<http://www.caomhin.org/geek/achievo/achievo-styled.tar.gz>
If a couple of people want to test it and say things work I'll tidy it
all up for Ivo to look at properly.
