Changing the header or gradient
« on: April 16, 2012, 04:51:15 PM »
Ive been on here for 2 hrs searching for my answer and all are for various themes and versions.

My version 2.0.2 using default curve.

I change my banner through the month so it doesnt always look good with the blue gradient.

So how can i either

1. remove the background gradient at the top
2. center it?
3. or shall i move the banner to go under the menu?

TBH

Might I suggest the banner be resized?

The folks at Pixel Mansion may be in a position to help themewise.

I am assuming you create your banners yourself....have you considered putting a black border on the image?

to center it you can go to the themes folder>css>index.css

look for the spot for the header or logo ( different on themes) and play with the margin sizes listed...work off a duplicate so you can upload a good one should it mess up. I do it with some of my themes at times...and then you have the occasional theme that is stubborn and won't take the edits no matter what

as for the changing of the gradient... it seems the themes are now "all-in-one" and the sections are all in one image??? not gotten around to opening one in photoshop but you could place it into photoshop then duplicate the layer and choose multiply then play with opacity to darken it just enough...theoretically.

again always use a duplicate of whatever file you work with.
