Yes, you can save your settings at any point. Also there is option to save your settings once for every number of seconds that you give in "General settings -> Load/Save Settings". The unit of input value is "seconds" and if zero is given in that seconds field, you will have to manually save your settings each time. Default is 0.

Your settings gets saved as cookie (Flash) in your system. Due to the constraints in size of the cookies for webpages, Flash cookies are used, whose settings can be changed to allow the site to save more bytes which is required for this application. Flash cookies will be present even if the browser cookies are cleared. And you could load the settings from different browser also.

Yes, you will require what is called TrixTGcode which contains all the values depending on your settings. It can be obtained from "General settings -> Load/Save Settings --> Show code for current settings button". You will need to save the code shown and later you can use that code to make changes using "General settings -> Load/Save Settings --> Load settings from code below button".

Yes, you can. All you have to do is that, you need to copy the code as mentioned above (FAQ4) and sent to my Mail Id: talktotrix@gmail.com . I will update the template in my database. It is good if you could suggest one or more categories to put your template.

The following diagram explains the layout of Blogger Templates

The sidebar can be placed at either side of the main wrapper. Also there are various types of sidebar.

When you click on that arrow, you will be able to see the preview as if it will look in the blog. Also when you double click on the preview area, it will show you the settings.

When you click on it, It displays a hex color code generator, which you can use to choose the color you required. When you choose the color, it will give you a hex code which you should copy and paste in the settings. The Hex color code generator also displays some matching colors for the color that you have chosen, which you can use if necessary.

It is used to set three different background for the same block. It is primarily added by me to create the effect of rounder corners in the backgrounds (FAQ 10). By properly positioning and repeating the three backgrounds you can have many different backgrounds. If you are not able to see the background properly (which usually occurs in IE), try using a different number(1,2 or 3) for positioning the image.

You can either set the same border to all the four sides of a block. Or you can set different borders to different sides. If you change "All" Border settings, the other four options (top, right, bottom, left) width will be set to zero. And if you changed any one of the options in "top, right, bottom, left" border settings, the width in "All" border settings will be set to 0px.

If you are using Internet Explorer, you wont be able to see the rounded corners as it is not supported in IE till now. Designers used to have background images to simulate this effect (FAQ 8).

Margin will create a space between an element/block to which it is applied and the elements/blocks surrounding it. Padding will create space between element/block to which it is applied and the elements/blocks which are inside it.

Set the margin left and margin right of the block to the value "auto" and it will center align that block.

Primary font is the basic font that will be used to display the text. It should be noted that, the font should available in the system of the person viewing your blog. So it is recommended to use a secondary font which will be used if the first is not found in the users system. Here we have provided a option to give font family (collection of many similar type of fonts) as secondary.

There are many constraints while designing a template. When you look a template at one screen resolution it will look fine. But when you change the resolution to a lower value, there are chances that the template get collapsed. It happens especially when percentage is used to define width of blocks, because percentage here refers with respect to the browser viewing area and not with respect to the page width. Hence when you change the width of browser (using restore, maximize button), there are chances that the page look gets collapsed. So it is recommended to set minimum width of around 750 px to body settings, when percentage is used to set width of inner blocks. 750 is chosen because 800x600 is the most common resolution, though we are migrating to higher resolutions. Since the browser displays scroll, some pixels are taken away.

Make sure that you have Flash plugin installed and JS enabled in your browser. Also since database is used to store the code for templates, accessing the database and retrieving the code for it takes some time. So kindly wait and see for quite some time.
