I installed this theme to my site.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2585

How do I change the big red Balanced letters to my site title?

The link I have added is the themes own support topic.

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=474298

* Old Fossil forgot to add the link.


Also if you look at the themes description you will find this:

QuoteThe theme does not provide a logo other than the theme logo. You will need to create a logo with the dimensions of 1206px wide by 151px deep. The Forum Title field in Configuration/Server Settings can still be set to have the forum name appear in the linktree area however, the forum name will not appear in the header area of the theme

It says that page is off limits to me.

How do you mean off limits?

chadf

It is an error message that says:

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

The theme's not been approved. So, it's not visible to the public , as yet. ;)

Cancel that. It HAS been approved!

* K@ goes to investigate...

How do I replace the balanced logo with my own?

kat

Now that's odd. I just logged out and I can get to that page, as a guest.

Acrodox

chadf

So, how do I replace the logo?

Does anyone Know?  It has to be a simple fix, I just don't know how to do it.

Well I dont know what theme it is but it should be like all the others. Go in your theme folder,t hen images, look for that image, and change it to yours. If you need help, come ask me at my forum (signature) or PM me

Chadf,

The color swatch your PM'd me is color #637160.  If I understood your PM correctly, you will want to edit the index.css file ( use notepad or notepad++, or similar editor ), go to line 90 of the file and change:

background: #A2A9A6;

to

background: #637160;

That will change the #bodyarea background color from the 'sorta blue/grey' to the olive drab you desire. This color will work pretty well, but does slightly affect the visibility of the smaller, darker fonts that are positioned in the bodyarea. The letters can still be seen but do not pop out at the viewer.

As for the logo, you will need an editor like gimp ( free ) to create the background. If you want to use the olive drab color for the header/logo background and then add your site name I can do that for you or you can take up Acrodox on his kind offer. Both of these are relative simple procedures and should not take a great amount of time to accomplish.

regards,


Lou

the simplest solution is most likely the right one

Please accept my apologies.



It blinking well hurt.

 :)  :)

It all worked out. Chadf has the Balanced theme with his logo at the top with a few changes to allow for the darker background.

That image you posted Old Fossil, would be a pretty good avatar for me!  :)
