@Alex I'm sorry to bother you but is there any way to
(1) change the colour of the command line
(2) take off the border that surrounds it and
(3) change the writing inside the command line, instead of (Type here.....).
you could put something like O.k. now what >
This way it would look to me as part of the game as opposed to it sticking out like a sore thumb. No disrespect intended.
Thanks Terry

1. Edit HTML
2. Edit HTML...again
3.Edit HTML....yet again

You should ask Alex what to edit since you need programming knowledge to do it. Which if you do have you would not ask this question.

3. You can overwrite the new template TypeHereLabel in Q5.3

Related to this, is there a way to make the input line text the same size as the output text? It seems out of place compared to the rest of the UI (big and clunky).

I think at the moment this can only be done by changing the styles with Javascript : viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3393

Thanks Pertex managed to do that.
Forgive my ignorance but where would I look to start to understand the j.s. language. Thanks Terry.
Jaynabonne is right it could do with smaller fonts!

Thanks!

I've also noticed that you have to create your own player and the option for maximum objects that you can pick up in the player object is missing? Has Alex place it elsewhere? Thanks Terry

I have written a Wiki on changing the colour scheme. It is not something I am that sure of, so those more knowledgeable may like to check it over.

No, it's still in the inventory tab. If You use another object as player you have to activate "can be a player" in the options tab, then you will see it in the inventory tab

The Pixie thanks for directing me to the Wiki page I will certainly sit down and study it avidly. Many thanks for everything
Pertex I just don't know why I didn't see that in the first place. Many thanks once again. You would not believe how many times I have deleted and uploaded 5.3 because I didn't understand it. Then a niggling gremlin on my shoulder kept whispering. Have another go, is unbelievable. lol Thanks to both Terry

If you want to learn javascript, my recommendation would be to make an account over on http://www.codecademy.com and go through their javascript track. It's totally free and is a really great resource for learning JS, Python, HTML/CSS and Ruby.

Thanks sgreig I've just signed up so I'll see where I go from here. Terry.

I suggest looking at HTML and CSS first. They are a bit more straightforward, and JavaScript is most useful when it is interacting with them, so a good understanding there will help with JavaScript.

Ok thanks The Pixie, a kind of walking before you can run. I understand that. Terry
