Hi Norbert,
The default look and feel is based on the blueprint css framework.
This is provided via the PRBlueprintLibrary library. This framework is
a generic one and it mostly provides css classes for laying out the
pages into columns. It also provides some default styles for basic
html tags like textarea or input which is what gets eventually used
for editing pier. See the project page for more details:
http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss/
The CSS that is specific to the look and feel of the default webpage
is available to you via the Edit Design command. This is where .footer
and .header is defined. So, you have complete control over the look
and feel without removing the libraries. The provided css features
some commented to point out where the large parts out. So, all you
have to replace the Pier css (or part of it) with your css in the
provided area and to modify the template accordingly.
Is this helpful?
Cheers,
Doru

While testing how hard it will be to bring my site
into pier I discovered some css class clashes. For
people it is quite normal to assign classes like
header, footer and the like.
In my opinion a cms like pier should try to step
out of the way of any usage conflict. Therefor I
would propose to namespace the css classes. A
pr_header, pr_footer will do I think.
Or do I missunderstand something completely? For me
it was not possible to reconstruct our layout without
haveing to remove all librares for the application. But
then it is tedious to work with pier as the edit boxes
and stuff are too small.
What is the best approach to bring in the own developed
design and having pier still functioning?
thanks,
Norbert
