[Zope-CMF] Font files and image source

[Erik Lange]

Allthough binary, .gif files are still created from one or more sources ;-)

Our example:
In the CMF calendar some .gif-files are used to give a very nice view of an
event.

E.g. at the top there is a small "Event Info" TAB made with a .gif-file.

I believe this TAB-design is made so it's possible to add new TABs for
editing of various aspect of special events in a portal, if one creates an
event containing more info than included on the default Event_Info TAB in
the default CMF calender.

We are making such an "extended" CMF event and would like to make a TAB in
the edit/view event, containg the edit/view of our extended event-data.

And then we need to know what font was used, what shadow, outline or other
effect was applied and so on, when the binary event_info_tab.gif-file was
originally created, to make a new event_ourinfo_tab.gif-file, with the same
look as the TAB that comes with the CMF calendar.

And THAT is what is meant by "source-code", regarding graphics ;-)

-

So, when making a Zope-product including graphic files, please include these
informations, font-files and (best of all) a "non-flattened" version of the
compositing file, with all used layers seperated (like .PSD).
