Using the layout handler to define colors everywhere in your skins makes changing the appearance of your site according to the four seasons a piece of cake. Use the following macros to refer to the color values as set in your layout preferences:

<% layout.bgcolor %>
<% layout.textcolor %>
<% layout.titlecolor %>
<% layout.linkcolor %>
<% layout.alinkcolor %>
<% layout.vlinkcolor %>
<% layout.smallcolor %>

please note that you do not have to care about whether the color value is a string or a hexadecimal number. antville will add a hash (#) whenever it is necessary.

not enough, there are macros for fonts and font sizes, too. every font definition in the preferences can be expressed by an appropriate macro:

<% layout.textfont %>
<% layout.textsize %>
<% layout.titlefont %>
<% layout.titlesize %>
<% layout.smallfont %>
<% layout.smallsize %>

certainly, you have to include the color and font macros at the right place, ie. inside a valid html tag or a correct cascading style sheet definition.
