The index template (the top level page at / ) gets this: The database template ( /dbname ) gets this: The custom SQL template ( /dbname?sql=... ) gets this: A canned query template ( /dbname/queryname ) gets this: The table template ( /dbname/tablename ) gets: The row template ( /dbname/tablename/rowid ) gets: The db-x and table-x classes use the database or table names themselves if they are valid CSS identifiers. If they aren't, we strip any invalid characters out and append a 6 character md5 digest of the original name, in order to ensure that multiple tables which resolve to the same stripped character version still have different CSS classes. Some examples: ""simple"" => ""simple"" ""MixedCase"" => ""MixedCase"" ""-no-leading-hyphens"" => ""no-leading-hyphens-65bea6"" ""_no-leading-underscores"" => ""no-leading-underscores-b921bc"" ""no spaces"" => ""no-spaces-7088d7"" ""-"" => ""336d5e"" ""no $ characters"" => ""no--characters-59e024"" and elements also get custom CSS classes reflecting the database column they are representing, for example:
