CSS Documentation: Conditional Stylesheets

Conditional stylesheets are pulled into the Wrapper based upon choices the Unit makes in customizing Wrapper functionality. It is thus possible that your Unit employs all, some, or none of the below CSS files. In addition, the existance of these stylesheets mean that many stylesheet switches can occur for the Unit dynamically.

Note: as there are many selectors within each stylesheet that should not be overridden, only those selectors or selector values which may be safely changed are included.

uncg-screen-lqd.css

This stylesheet is activated if a Unit chooses a liquid (or fluid) layout over the default fixed width set in the core stylesheet. The default is to redraw the site to be 100% of the screen width, but by utilizing a local css file this attribute could become any relative or fixed value.

uncg-screen-lqd.css Selectors
Selector Initial Values Description
#uncgBody {width:100%;} Resets the default width of the Unit Web site to resize to fit 100% of the screen size

uncg-screen-menu.css

When a Unit chooses to employ the Web3 left navigation menu, this stylesheet is implemented. As choosing the Web3 menu implies full buy-in to both the Web3 look and feel and the University Unit Web Site Requirements, this stylesheet turns on several other stylesheet switches in addition to the menu itself.

uncg-screen-sidebar.css
