Re: was: figuretext problem --- is: how to modify (presentation) styles

[Matthias Weber <matweber@indiana.edu>]

Thanks Hans, this was most helpful!

I have another question, though:
After looking at various 'built-in' documentation styles I am wondering 
about the best way
to modify one of these. I couldn't find any documentation besides how 
to use the
styles as they are. So, if I want to make (say) the "green style" blue 
and with smaller buttons,
are there setups for this? If yes, do I learn about these by looking at 
the source, or,  if no,
do I copy the source and try my best to mess around with it?
