Hi

thanks for the help. I am having problem with the overwrite. Seems that my modications to the stylesheet has no effect at all. I am lost!

Try this:
.sideBoxContent {
border-bottom: 2px;
}

Well unfortunately that didn't do anything. Does it matter where in the CSS file that I put the code?

Double check and make sure you have it in the right folder. It should be in includes/templates/simple_zen/css/

Oops, sorry, forgot to add the style and color. This will work:

.sideBoxContent {
border-bottom: 2px solid #333;
}

Sorry I posted so quickly. Yours would be like this:

.sideBoxContent {
border-bottom: 2px solid #333;
}

and

#navCatTabsWrapper {
border: 2px solid #333;
}

Hi,

thanks again! It works now.

By the way, how do I increase the width of my main page?

Look in the stylesheet file, under the body, it has:
width:750px;

You can actually just delete that one.

Then find the mainWrapper section, and find the other
width:750px;

and adjust to the width you would like it to be.

Then you'll need to adjust the width under logoWrapper as well.

Hi.

Thanks for the fixes.

One small problem though.

About the line inserting that you have done the

.sideBoxContent {
border-bottom: 1px solid #999999;
}

I changed it to look better color wise.

BUT

It is sticking to the side boxes - you can see here www.street-market.co.uk
any chance you can add a space before the line is inserted.

Right now you have added the line.

Can you make that space then line?

Hope I was clear enough :))


Also Can I make the fonts smaller on the mainpage? The fonts are huge for both titles and its content.

Thanks for all the help.

For the space, try this:
.sideBoxContent {
border-bottom: 1px solid #999999;
padding-bottom:5px;
}

The fonts aren't huge for me... however, they are set in percentages and em's, so that people who tell their browser to show larger fonts actually see larger fonts. Are you by chance using Internet explorer, and have your font size set to "Larger" or "Largest"? But if you want to change the font size, you can do that in the css file. Inside the body tag you'll see: font-size: 78.5%; you can make that smaller. The heading sizes are controlled by the h3 tag (font-size: 1.3em) you can change that to 1.2 or 1.1em, and the Welcome guest! section is controlled by the h2 tag (font-size:1.4em). Perhaps adjust the body down to 72.5%, and change the h3 to 1.2em and the h2 to 1.3em.
