Great job Jade :thumbsup:. There's lot's of effortless-looking technical goodies in here (and I appreciate just how much effort you must have put into making them look effortless!). And I particularly like the way that you have also addressed the checkout area.
I hope you have a suitably rude response prepared for the first person who asks who to turn this into a liquid layout or make it stretch all the way across the screen :laugh:.

Thanks kuroi! You just don't even KNOW how much headache that header menu gave me. There was a module in the download section for it, but it had some serious bugs depending on the order of the categories and whether or not the first category listed had subcategories. Anyway, this template would have been done a lot sooner if not for that, LOL. Not to mention trying to create a layout that increases with font size along with drop shadows on both sides (won't be seen in IE prior to IE7) and a background for the categories that increases with font size too.... well, anyway, I enjoyed the challenge. Now comes the challenge to support it, LOL :cool:

Re: Apple Zen Template Support Thread
I just downloaded this beautiful template and would like to know how to make the stripe design to go all the way down and under the "middle display" area??
Re: Apple Zen Template Support Thread
You would have to make the /includes/templates/apple_zen/images/site-bg.gif very much longer, or if it aligns nicely, repeat it vertically as well as horizontally.

Hi There!
Use the site-bg.gif attached to this message (overwrite the one found in includes/templates/apple_zen/images
Then open up includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet.css and change:
Code:
body {
background:url(../images/site-bg.gif) 0 9em repeat-x;
}
To this:
Code:
body {
background:url(../images/site-bg.gif) 0 9em repeat;
}
Now after doing that, a teeny little bit of green stripe will show up just above the logo section, so you'll need to change this:
Code:
#headerWrapper {
width:100%;
text-align:center;
margin:0 auto;
}
to this:
Code:
#headerWrapper {
background:#ffffff;
width:100%;
text-align:center;
margin:0 auto;
}
Re: Apple Zen Template Support Thread
Well I can see why you did not have it... one can get "dizzy" watching these stripes on wide screen...
Would I be the first "rude" person to ask where/how to increase the width of the middle?? I am new to this... so be nice :)
Re: Apple Zen Template Support Thread
our posts must have "missed each other.." I just put
background-repeat: repeat;
but I did notice the bit of that stripe as you mentioned, but it did not go away after I inserted background:#ffffff; in the #headerWrapper
I can live with that...
Thanks!
