Flagrantly/ NOW -- SW BASIC Theme Questions

[ricland]

Good work, Crip

I want to change the logo, of course, but I also want to change
the color of the background in my simpleportal blocks.

Finally, I'd like to get rid of the user information thing that appears
in the far right hand corner at top.

Thanks -- and keep of the excellent work!

Oh, what theme is this website, and is the theme available for download too?

By the way, I use simpleportal, any reason why I should switch to tiny portal?

Hiya ,
Can we see a link to-theme-site?

• We really dunno anything pertaining to SP , yes , I do think TP is a better Portal....just a preference anyway really...

Oh, and is Style308 available for download?

Richard,

the 308 theme is for this site only, Crip default theme. as far as you site, the logo would not blend too well with the background. the other stuff can be done little by little. But someone may need to get in to you site to do this as a temp admin? this can be done via PM. I could help you out in time, but now busy, and if you'd give a small donation to Crip site..

I can make you a new log with the one you have, clean up the Graphics edges and remove some of the stuff you do not want.

I think the color combos are great for your theme or content.

But we'll need to get together later on this when I finish the project I'm doing now unless someone else her wants to start on it now??

regards,
Maxx

Hi, Maxx,

I bit the bullet and started rooting around in the code myself.

Going along good now -- answered most of my own questions

I'll report back.

Thanx

First of all, look in Admin --> Configuration --> Current Theme --> Theme Options and Preferences --> Forum Width to see if the width can be set there.  Some themes have that option and some don't.  I don't remember if that theme has that.

If you don't find it in there, then you will have to adjust the width in the css file for the theme.  Look in this file --> /Themes/czbasic/css/index.css?fin20

Code (Find This) Select Expand


/* This division wraps the entire forum when a forum width is set. */
.wrapper
{
margin: 0 auto; 
width: 77%;
}


Set the width to whatever you want to, up to 100% but I wouldn't go 100% on it because you would lose some of the beauty of the theme.  Maybe 95% or even 98% would be better.

The other thing is that your logo is way too wide (1300 pixels) for screen resolutions that most people use.  This will cause your users to have a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of their browser.  I would reccomend making the logo smaller, something less than 1000 pixels wide.

On the left side of the logo, in the css file refenced above ...

Code (Find This) Select Expand


#header {
    background: url("../images/theme/main_block.png") no-repeat scroll 0 -480px #FEFEFE;
    padding-left: 20px;
}


Change "padding-left" from 20px to 0px.  That will almost get the logo flush with the left side.

This Theme has this Setting ZarPime.

Thanks Bro'. I wasn't sure.  It looks like he has switched back to Flagrantly for now anyway but he hasn't responded yet so I don't know what he's up to --> http://www.blackdigest.com/index.php
