INSTRUCTIONS TO CREATE A NEW THEME

To create a new hoteldruid theme make a copy of the "sim" 
directory inside the "themes" directory of hoteldruid and 
rename it with a new name of 3 letters. Then edit the theme 
names in the "name.php" file inside the "php" subdirectory of 
the new theme. Now you will be able to select the new theme 
from "configure and customize".

In the "php" subdirectory you have the files that are actually 
used by hoteldruid. You can modify the head and foot of all 
hoteldruid pages from "head.php" and "foot.php" files. In 
file "menu.php" you can set the variable $hide_default_menu to 
true and insert there a new main menu page. Lastly the dates 
lists are generated from the file "selectperiod.php".

The other subdirectories are optional and you can delete or 
modify them as needed by your theme.


USE CSS INSTEAD OF NEW THEME

If your changes can be carried out through css only then you 
can use an external css file without creating a new theme. 
This, besidedes being simplier, has also some other advantages 
like being more compatible with future versions of hoteldruid 
and the possibility to use the css file also when using 
hoteldruid on digitaldruid.net hosting.

Just enable custom constants by editing the file 
includes/funzioni.php and uncomment (by removing the 
initial #) this line:

#@include("./includes/costanti.php");

then edit the file includes/costanti.php and insert the path 
to your custom css file (can be also an URL) between the empty 
quotation marks in this line:

define('C_FILE_CSS_PERS',"");

Now, if this file exists, it will be loaded after all other 
css files, so it can overwrite all other css properties.
