Thanks, downloadsuk. Unfortunately, that document contains errors, hasn't been updated since last year, is very incomplete and most of all: Neither this document, the manual or any other source provided by IB contains a system that links up the stylevar names with names of obvious text strings used in the elements we are working on.
Even with a stylevar system which is as incomplete as the current system is, a proper, searchable document would help a lot.
It should have been this simple: If I want to change the font, background or hover-values for the area which says "Post New Thread", "Who's online", "Quick Reply" or "Permission Groups", I should be able to type in that text somewhere, eg. in a pdf file, and find a page which explains all stylevar names and parameters related to eg. "Who's online" or "Permission Groups".
I'm pretty sure the lack of such a simple document, which could be created in a few days, costs IB a lot of money, because now many confused users send in support tickets instead, which leads to a situation where each of these questions has to be responded to manually, by a paid employee. It's a lose/lose situation for everybody.
