Apple Zen Support Thread

Thanks, jade. I'll give !important a go. Always wondered what that was for and when to use it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I use "print screen", paste into a Photoshop doc, and select the color. Only on text will the color change slightly from pixel to pixel and not match something in CSS. At least in my experience. Even then to get uniform text coloring, I can turn off Clear Text (or anti-aliasing whatever the Windows setting is called that causes text "to smooth").

And, yeah, I've Googled for tutorials but so far I've only read those that are written for others with the same skill set as the author. Not exactly helpful when my CSS skills can only be described as rudimentary.

Ok, I've done this once before, but I am stumped now. My logo.gif file is 1000px wide, but it's all crammed to 224px wide. The height is ok, just not the width. I have edited the header.php file in language.

Here is the content of the header.php file.

Check the stylesheet.css.

Thank-you, forgot we had to go in there!

I've made my website wider than the default setup on this template, but I can't seem to find where to change the width of the different levels. If I click on level one categories, the level 2 isn't the same width as level 1.

Where do I change this?

That's in stylesheet_header_menu.css

Hi folks...

This thread is HUGE. This template is hip and popular, and I like it.

I've spent about two late night hours trying to figure out how to get rid of the copy "To change any of the site colors, open up includes/templates/apple_zen/css/stylesheet.css. To overwrite your own logo, upload your logo.gif to includes/templates/apple_zen/images/" beside the logo, but to no avail... I cannot find it anywhere!

Jade, please tell me where this is to get rid of it...?

Hello jettrue,

I am trying to do is use the narrow header. I am able to get a narrow header following the instructions in the stylesheet file but I can get it to center.


My site's url is

http://vbshaircaresupply.com

Thank you

Hello -

I love this template and am in the process of customizing it for my web store and I love the horizontal drop down menu, but was wondering how do I remove the horizontal links which appear above that list? Would you be able to help me find that?

Thanks!
Teri

Whenever you are searching for text to change, use the "tools", "developers tool kit" in your admin... it is your friend. No need to stay up late hours searching. Search for a portion of the text above, and it will tell you exactly where it lies (hint, it's in a language file).

That section is the category tabs menu, turn it off via "configuration", "layout settings"
