> # How to modify Selva templates

> ## Modifying selva's theme

> You can create a new theme by copying /packages/new-portal/www/themes/selva-theme.adp to /packages/new-portal/www/themes/yourtheme.adp and the directory (that conpatins the theme's images) sloan-theme to yourtheme-theme.
> This changes the inside of the portlet.
> (still do not know how to get it listed in /dotlrn/admin/templates)

> changed main-navigation for portal navigation class in /packages/dotlrn/tcl/navigation-procs.tcl

> ## Modifying SelvaFlex theme

> New themes should be added in the www/resources directory. Each directory should contain all images and a single selva.css file.

> # Selva presentation and Quality Assurance

> In order to improve and maintain the quality of the themes in Selva we would like all 'certified' themes to be Accesible W3C Level A compliant and XHTML compliant.

> ## Making your page accessible

> A comple accessibility analysis was performed on the portal template used in dotlrn 2.1.1. You should read "Towards an Accessible Learning Management System for a full description.

> ## Making your page XHTML compliant
