Logo Sidebox Help

[smoke133]

I don't want to be a different color. I want it so you can see the background image of the main wrapper.

I don't want to be a different color. I want it so you can see the background image of the main wrapper.

Then change the declaration as follows

#logosideboxContent {
background: transparent; /*Change this to whatever you want the background color to be.*/
}

I want to use the logo sidebox as a Category Link. With 1 category it works great, but I have 5 categories. Can I duplicate everything to create 5 logo side boxes to use with my categories??

Or do I need a different contribution?

You CAN duplicate everything (you'll just have to rename all the files)

This mod was really meant to use only one logo/image.

You might want to look at the categories dressing mod available in the downloads section. This might be more appropriate for what you are trying to do.

I would like the logo link to open in a new window. What code needs to be added? I'm assuming it is in the logo_sideboxes_defines.php. Here is my site:
http://www.gameoverbeyond.com
I'd like the Retro Arcade Radio link in the top right to open in a new window so visitors can listen while still shopping at my site.
Also, can I add text to the logo sidebox under the logo? If so, where.
Ex: Listen While You Shop
