The header background can be extended below the nav bar, with nav bar on top... Check this out: http://www.constructii-constanta.ro - the header background are all from top to orange strip... all the wraper with nav bar and so on is moved on top of the header background.

Ok, i tried to mess around with it, this is the "best" i can do atm. Is it the correct path?

http://townportal.dk/

It seems my graphic is behind the "posts-graphic", and i need to mess with some margins/paddings.... is there anyone i should do, as in change graphic size?

Also, when trying to make transparent background for Posts in Suffusion Editor, nothing happens. I really cannot get that tool to work... :(

Regarding not being able to change the styles, I see that you are unable to write a file to the "assets/suffusion" folder. You might want to check the file permissions there. You might also be having a problem with a plugin that adds a layer of security. If you aren't able to resolve this, go to Suffusion Options -> Back-end -> Site Optimization, and pick an option that says "ugly source code".

Regarding the background etc, the first thing i would recommend is to set the "con_mid.jpg" file as the background for #container rather than #main-col. Once you are able to write the custom css, you can set the background of the post to be transparent (from the "Skinning" options). You will also need to reduce the width of the columns slightly. You can do most of this from the "Layouts" options.

You are truly the best.... lots of progress being made today by me, thanks to you noticing the permission issue.

Next step is removing those darn Borders thats everywhere! :p

Oh and when i resize it to a smaller resolution, somethings happen with the Header graphics, it doesnt follow my container graphics when making the resolution small... not sure it is something i should worry bout?

Also i would like my footer to have a "gap" to the bottom... i tried with padding, not sure thats the correct way to do it?

Oh and last question, is it possible to add a link to "random" place on the website? If you see my sidebar, it has 4 boxes i planned to use for images with a link. Possible?

Start by adding at Custom Styles:

Code: Select all
/* Removal of borders */
#wrapper, #main-col, #content, .post, div.page, article.page, div.suf-widget, #cred {border:none;}
/* Extend footer - will see the background extended, if you wish to see the footer, need to use a higher image */
#cred {height:100px;}


For the last question, as you see until now, everything is possibile... depends just by you and your skills...

Thanks Colin.

Making lots of progress, without help even! (added buttons to navbar and new date icons) ;)

Few questions tho!

In between the news posts on the Home page/Main page... where should i look to add a graphic line where you can click to come top of the page? I want a graphic line with the word "to top" in it... if that makes sense.

Also, on my "Forum Page", can i make it so when i click that page, it "forgets/removes my background graphic? since it squeezes my forum to a tiny tiny forum, just wondering if its possible to make it 100% width of your browser window insead.

Thanks in advance, i really love this theme, and all your help!
