IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!! I am so excited.

OK NOW... as if you didn't do enough for me but if you look again there are white backgrounds around the boxes how do I change that?

2nd- the red/gray box is that a graphic or can I just change the color.....

ok lastly- this i think is a total negative but is there a way to get the graphics buttons to match too?

I cannot BELIEVE how much I love my site now thank you so much!!!

open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css and change the following declarations as indicated by the highlighted portions.

#navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo {
padding-bottom: 20px;
background-color: #fff;/* change this to whatever color you want for the sidebox columns*/
}
#logoWrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height:185px;
background: url(../images/header_bg.jpg) no-repeat #ccccff;
}

Save the file and upload to your server

I can run a new set of buttons as well as the two graphics mentioned above.

This should fix the button issue plus a couple of other minor faults I noticed.

1. I would like to remove the gray banner near the top behind the graphic

open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declaration and delete the highlighted portion

#navAccountWrapper {
   margin: auto;
background: url(../images/header_bg_2.jpg);
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #ccccff;
	height: 26px;
   width: 907px;	
}

Save the file and upload to your server.

2. I would like to change the colors of the boxes,

The are graphics which you will have to change; they are located in
includes/templates/comstock/images/
sidebox_content_bg.gif
sidebox_header_bg.gif

You will need to edit the images in your graphics editor in order to change the colors.

3- I would like to make the banner go across the top


open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declaration:

#logoWrapper {
   margin: 0 auto;
	padding: 0;
	width: 907px;
	height:100px;
	background: url(../images/header_bg.jpg) no-repeat #ccccff;
}

and replace with the following:

#logoWrapper {
   margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	height:144px;
	background: url(../images/header_bg.jpg) no-repeat #ccccff;
}

Find the following declaration:

#headerWrapper {
   margin: 0 auto;
	padding: 0;
	background: #ccccff;
	}

and replace with the following:

#headerWrapper {
   margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	background: #ccccff;
	width:100%;
}

4- add back ground
open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css
add the highlighted portion to the body declaration.

body {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5%;
	color: #000000;
	background: url(../images/your_background_image.gif) #ccccff;
	}

save the file and upload to your server.

Hope this helps
