Okay, well, I'm still having a few problems. First of all, I've already sent the "photoshop" version of my theme to Stosh. This was before he said to use the Theme Builder and a Zip file. Should I resend the theme once I finish writing it in CSS?You can but it is not required. For the moment we might as well wait another day or two and see what themes were accepted. If he doesn't post them soonish then you might as well resubmit.
Also, I'm still in need of help. The group title is in the correct position now, but the text on the forum banner is another story. It's a little too far to the right—all the way against the edge, to be certain. How can I get a margin in there?In the CSS file find where it saysdiv.gforumtitle { margin: 0px 0 0 14px; and change it to div.gforumtitle { margin: 0px 14px 0 14px; Also, find where it says div.mini_hub_forum_link {margin: 2px 0 0 14px; } And change it todiv.mini_hub_forum_link {margin: 2px 14px 0 14px; }
Now, onto the main banner. I still can't figure out how to incorporate the fade/transparency. The images themselves are no trouble to me, but if my banner is in three pieces, how am I supposed to put two url's in the CSS? They can't go in the same place, right? One goes in the news column, the other in the welcome. Also, am I supposed to put the image's file name in parenthesis, or was that just there for emphasis?[out of order answers]
The fade needs to be done to the images themselves, there is no (simple) way to do it in css.
The parenthesis need to be there. They are not for emphasis. They show that what is there is a url and not just random text (if you notice right in front of the parenthesis it says url. Like this:url(struct_images/forums/HeaderGroupForum.jpg)
Yes, you can not put three URL's together. Instead you add the last two images as background-images for other blocks.
Instead, at the end of the CSS file add:
div.newsblock1 { background: url(struct_images/your_image) no-repeat top left; }
div.newsblock2 { background: url(struct_images/your_image) no-repeat top left; }Where "your_image" is the name of your image in the theme/struct_images folder.
Edit - tehviruss - The order for sides of things like margins and padding is top right bottom left. So he needs to edit the second one, not the first.
