I can't center the header logo

[SychO]

WQell, yes, IMO, it DOES matter, since randomly hacking code like that almost always gets you into trouble later.
Doing it right, the first time, is the netter option rather than doing it hackish to just make it look right, while the code behind it is a mess.

I agree editing the existing rules would be cleaner, but I thought OP could get lost so having him add new code would be easier

but, as noted, that is a hack that does not take into account the actual containers.

Doesn't matter, it works, this is what was requested, there's no reason not to go with it

If you think "hacking code" is changing how css works, then something is wrong with your definition. And yes, editing the selectors would be cleaner, but wouldn't change the result.

If we want to "make it right" in this case it means rewriting the entire thing, and the OP hasn't requested that we fix the header, nor is it necessary.

well, we have a difference of opinion on what is "appropriate"
I usually find it appropriate to give a user clean code.

(and I think that the header looks fine as long as you don't try to do something that it's not intended to do. It is cleanly coded and does exactly what it was designed to do.  Changing that behavior/look would be simpler in a theme that was designed to have the header logo in a different location, as I said before. )

If you think the default header is "cleanly coded", then I don't know why you are complaining that you think removing the existing floats is "a hack".

Changing the behavior would be easier in a theme that was written better. And your initial response was that "you can't do it", which is just plain wrong.

I don't know why I'm even trying to discuss css with you. What happened to the motto of "posting wrong information is worse than none"?

if we have solved the users issue, can we move this side discussion elsewhere?

My apologies. Let's do that.
