I did a quick search on the site but could not locate a full list of all Smugmug CSS properties. Does such list exist? It would simplify customizing our sites.

Ideally (yes I'm an idealist and please leave me with my illusions) the list should tell us:
  • the role: what does the property control (e.g. it toggles ON of OFF the comments section)
  • the scope: if the variable applies to whole site or to a specific galleries
  • the values: what are the values that can be assigned to the property
  • the syntax: specify if a specific syntax exists for the property
  • examples: always great to provide a quick start
The forum is quite helpful to find some information, but it is piecemeal and it's not always easy to find the information required.

Thanks. Whatever list that can be provided would be a great start.

    I don't know of any such document, nor do I think it would be worth Smugmug's time to create one (it would be a nightmare to keep up-to-date as the site changes too).

    Folks who customize regularly all just get a tool (I use free Firefox add-ons: Firebug and Web Developer) that lets you look at the structure and ids and classes in the page directly. It's way quicker and clearer than any written documentation could be and it's never out of date because you're looking at the structure of a live page. And, it shows you exactly which CSS rules are active for any given object, something that can take hours to figure out manually and can vary by theme, page and customization.

    Then, of course, you have to learn the basics of CSS in order to be able to change the items you want.

    Here's a screen shot of one of my category pagesin Firebug to see what I mean:
