#navMainLinks a {color:white;}

I was SO close! I did #navMainLinks, but without the "a". Just curious, why did the "a" make all the difference?

Because you already have a color set for all "a"'s (links) for the site:

a:link {color: #176db3; text-decoration:none;}

So by only setting #navMainLinks to white, it was still using the above color for the links. If you had plain text there, then setting #navMainLinks to white would change that plain text to white, but any links would still be set by:

a:link {color: #176db3; text-decoration:none;}

Clear as mud?

Hello guys!

I've uploaded an update to this template. It's mostly cosmetic, so it's not imperative that you install the update. I've made updates to:

1)includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet.css (small cosmetic tweaks).

2)includes/templates/apple_zen/css/tpl_header.php.

3)There are 4 adjusted images: includes/templates/apple_zen/images/site-bg*.gif. (These images allow you to have the striped image repeat seamlessly down the page)

I'm not sure if this question is something that is related to your template or not, but I would like to have my category menu not have the sub-menus display on the drop down menu.


For Example, if you go to "Themes & Collections" a sub-menu appears that runs far off the page. I would like it to not have the sub-menu appear and just click on "Themes & Collections"

Any idea?

Thanks!

Sure, that's an easy fix... go to includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php and on line 27 change:

$max_level = 6,

to

$max_level = 1,

To anyone else who is wondering, level 1 means that only your main categories show. Level 2 means you main categories and their subcategories show... level 3, main-sub-sub... and so on.

Now I'd like some help changing the words that appear in a browser's titlebar. Where do I go to do this?

Hi - I like your template but I don't really want any sideboxes on the right hand side of the screen (or the left). Looking at the example site for your template can't all the information in the side boxes be accessed from the menus on the tabs at the top of the screen? - so could I turn off all the sidebixes in Admin and still get to everything from the top menu bar? Just trying to get a cleaner look and feel.

Sure, you can do that if you like.

First turn em all off, then in the stylesheet delete this section (this will get rid of the light grey section behind the sideboxes):

#centerColumnWrapper2{
background:url(../images/content_bg.gif) repeat-y 80% 0;
}

Then change .centerColumn's width from 73% to like 95% or so. Let me know how this works, because I haven't tried it myself.

Thanks for the info on how to turn off all the sideboxes....just one other question that may get me in alot of trouble...BUT......why is that you designed this template so the sideboxes would only ever be on the right hand side? Is it just too technically complex to have the option of left or right due to all the other snazzy stuff the template is doing? Don't shoot me please....
