LiveArt HTML5 Product Designer v1.0.0 Migration Guide

LiveArt HTML5 v1.0.0 supports the same configuration files as LiveArt v0.10.* branch, published and available on liveart.github.io/slate/

Please note the following differences between the versions.

General:

  1. The designs, saved under 0.10.* version of the designer, are no longer compatible with 1.0.0. Any templates and designs have to be recreated respectively.
  2. 1.0.0 version uses Cufon fonts only, thus requiring Cufon font preparation.
  3. The colorizable producs and gallery artwork, prepared for 0.10.* version may not be compatible with 1.0.0 (see migration guide below).
  4. By default, we deprecated adding a stroke to one-color images.
  5. Canvas size changed from 587×543px to 590×530px.
  6. By default, the canvas is responsive.

Multicolor graphics/products migration:

  1. Simple (Using Ilustrator):
    • Pros: requires minimal steps, graphics may be processed as a batch;
    • Cons: layer names will be replaced with "Color 1", "Color 2", etc.

    1. Open image in Illustrator and re-save with the next options: sample;
    2. Set "parseColorAreas": true in the configuration for this image;
    3. Remove colorizableElements in the configuration for this image.

  2. Advanced (sample for steps below):
    • Pros: keep the same layer names;
    • Cons: requires processing of each file separately (may be automated).

    1. Reconfigure colorizable layers inside SVG:
      1. Replace class with id.
      2. Add fill attribute with default color instead of <style>
    2. Config changes:
      1. Replace "multicolor": true with "colorize": true in the configuration for this image;
      2. Replace colorizableElements.id with colorizableElements.query
      3. Set id configured from class inside SVG as a value for colorizableelements.query.
