I thought about making a template from scratch, then I wondered what the heck it would be. One day, I was searching Zen Carts over the net to get some ideas... I found sooo many with a legendary template called Blue Strip. Of course, it was for older versions. I figured I would blend it in to Zen Cart 1.3x. Well, I had some headaches along the way. Firstly, I wasn't about to make a mess with the revamping, like having tons of needless override stuff. I wanted to stay away from tables, so I did it all by trial and error. One thing was that the shopping cart sidebox would have inner doubled borders, thanks to Kurio... that was solved with his modded shopping cart file that is included in this package. Secondly, the search box heading was pulling off the sidebox boxtop image. So, I experimented and found the problem... In the stylesheet, for LABEL, I changed the line-height to 1em and it solved the problem. The prototype template was NOT identical, I customized it as lightweight as I could and it has the typical shoddy font in the sideboxes due to the boxtop images having horizontal lines. Note: This template design does NOT allow the top/header EZ pages to be used, it was needed to bypass in order to make the copyright area borderless. If you have those switched on, turn them off for the header. The template also looks better with the Categories-Tabs Menu: OFF. I also made a break-through in rendering problems with Firefox, the fix is included in the stylesheet.
Known issues, minor horizontal scroll in 800x600... I forgot to fix it.![]()
