Hello!

Is it possible to personalize the layout in "visual editor"....

I'd like to change font, color and position of the fields of the tables but I don't know how to do...
thank

You should be able to change fonts, colors, postions etc in Visual Editor.
I'm not sure I understand your question.

I'm not sure if this is the same question as what was originally asked but I too am wondering about the layout. I know how to change the colors and fonts, but I was wondering about different types of templates. Does anyone one have any running/working examples of how they changed the "layout" to something other than one of the templates supplied. Another words some major changes to the CSS and what not to give the site a totally differnt look. I looking for some good examples to possibly get my own wheels in my head spinning. Not that there is any thing wrong with the templates, but some change would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

I love that idea, wildwally. The templates that ship with PHPR are fine, but it would be great to have others to choose from. Perhaps, we can get other users interested and create a site where we can upload and share them. Doing so would also serve to make PHPR a more popular product.

I've got a test site up at test1.rmhospitality.net with some changes to the layout of the Madrid template and some minor modifications to the colors. If you want to register I'll give you access for a couple if days to poke around.

alina,
open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending some screenshots. It's really hard to understand what happening.

Scubadiver, the varations you have in your site are nice. I'm looking looking for something a little more dramatic. I have built multiple sites with PHPR and they all have that same look and feel. I want to be able to go to a site and say wow, this is made PHP Runner; it doesn't look like it.
Maybe I'm looking for more than meets the eye.

You can do it - editing the css files is easy (I use TopStyle to edit CSS for what that's worth) - not sure what exactly you want the sites to look like but if you have the patience it is doable. Good luck!

I do this in the following way.
Take a copy of the basic layout folder and style sheets that you want to change and give them names relevant to your project. On the theme/style page you can then select these options.
Use whatever tools you like to then modify the layout files (field positioning) and the stylesheet to get the look you want. Try to do everything you need without having to resort to customisation in the Visual Editor - you can then reset the page whenever you want and the changes in the layout and stylesheet are retained.
The help pages provide a list of the main styles - it is very easy to change to get a different look and feel and also to add new styles that you can use them in the layout definitions.
This approach is much more efficient longer term than making changes in the visual editor.
