About Property List Editor
Property List Editor (shown below) is a specialized editor for property list les.
To edit a theme.plist le using Property List Editor, copy it to your
Documents folder. When you nish editing theme.plist, copy it back to
/Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/theme_name.wikitheme/.
Property List Editor is located on the Mac OS X Server v10.5 Administration Tools CD,
in /Utilities/. You can run it from the CD or copy it to another location.
Property List Editor doesn’t show comments, so to see the example sidebars provided
in the wireframe’s theme.plist le, open the theme.plist le in a text editor and remove
the comment markers surrounding the example sidebars.
About Property List Files
The theme.plist le is structured like an XML le. If you understand XML, editing
theme.plist is straightforward. If not, read the following sections for basic editing
information.
About Property List Keys and Values
Every setting controlled by theme.plist has a key and an associated value or an array
(a collection) of associated values. To change the setting, you change the value or
values, not the key.
For example, to halve the height of the banner image in Property List Editor,
double-click the value 99 next to bannerImageHeight and replace it with 50.
