CSS styling

The following CSS selectors will provide access to various elements of the editor:

• .guppy_active: The guppy div when it is active. For example, one can use the border property of this class to cause the editor to have a glowing blue border when active.

• .guppy_inactive: The guppy div when it is inactive. For example, set the background-color of this class to a shade of grey to grey out the editor when inactive.

• .guppy_active .main_cursor: The span for the main cursor. CSS animations can be used, for example, to make the cursor blink.

• .guppy_text_current: The span for any plain text content currently under selection. For example, to highlight a textbox with a grey border while selected, set a border style for this CSS class.

• .guppy_buttons img: The image elements for the configuration/help buttons in the editor.

• .guppy_buttons: The container for the configuration/help buttons in the editor.

For example, we present here the stylesheet for the example Guppy page:

.guppy_active {
    border: 2px solid black;
    padding: 10px;
    box-shadow: 1px 1px 1px 0 lightgray inset;
    cursor: text;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    color:#000;
    position:relative;
}

.guppy_inactive {
    border: 2px solid black;
    padding: 10px;
    box-shadow: 1px 1px 1px 0 lightgray inset;
    cursor: text;
    background-color: #fafafa;
    color:#000;
    position:relative;
}

.guppy_text_current {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

.guppy_active .main_cursor {
  animation: blink-animation 1s steps(2, start) infinite;
  -webkit-animation: blink-animation 1s steps(2, start) infinite;
}

.guppy_active .guppy_buttons {
    display: block;
}

.guppy_inactive .guppy_buttons {
    display: none;
}

.guppy_buttons {
    position:absolute;
    bottom:0;
    right:0;
    padding:0 3px 3px 0;
}

.guppy_buttons img{
    cursor:pointer;
    height:16px;
    width:16px;
    padding:3px;
    opacity: 0.5;
}

.guppy_buttons img:hover{
    opacity: 1;
}

@keyframes blink-animation {

}
