IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!! I am so excited.

OK NOW... as if you didn't do enough for me but if you look again there are white backgrounds around the boxes how do I change that?

2nd- the red/gray box is that a graphic or can I just change the color.....

ok lastly- this i think is a total negative but is there a way to get the graphics buttons to match too?

I cannot BELIEVE how much I love my site now thank you so much!!!

open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css and change the following declarations as indicated by the highlighted portions.

#navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo {
padding-bottom: 20px;
background-color: #fff;/* change this to whatever color you want for the sidebox columns*/
}
#logoWrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height:185px;
background: url(../images/header_bg.jpg) no-repeat #ccccff;
}

Save the file and upload to your server

2nd- the red/gray box is that a graphic or can I just change the color.....

They are graphics

is there a way to get the graphics buttons to match too?

I can run a new set of buttons as well as the two graphics mentioned above.

Just unzip the file and upload the entire includes folder to your server

This should fix the button issue plus a couple of other minor faults I noticed.

Just unzip the file and upload the entire includes folder to your server.

  margin: auto;
background: url(../images/header_bg_2.jpg);

        color: #ccccff;
        height: 26px;

2. I would like to change the colors of the boxes,

The are graphics which you will have to change; they are located in
includes/templates/comstock/images/
sidebox_content_bg.gif
sidebox_header_bg.gif

You will need to edit the images in your graphics editor in order to change the colors.

3- I would like to make the banner go across the top


open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declaration:

Code:

---

#logoWrapper {
  margin: 0 auto;
        padding: 0;
        width: 907px;
        height:100px;
        background: url(../images/header_bg.jpg) no-repeat #ccccff;
}

---

and replace with the following:

Code:

---

#logoWrapper {
  margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        height:144px;
        background: url(../images/header_bg.jpg) no-repeat #ccccff;
}

---

Find the following declaration:

Code:

---

#headerWrapper {
  margin: 0 auto;
        padding: 0;
        background: #ccccff;
        }

---

and replace with the following:

Code:

---

#headerWrapper {
  margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        background: #ccccff;
        width:100%;
}

---

4- add back ground
open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css
add the highlighted portion to the body declaration.

Code:

---

body {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
        font-size: 62.5%;
        color: #000000;
        background: url(../images/your_background_image.gif) #ccccff;
        }

---

save the file and upload to your server.

Hope this helps
