Where to go for these tweeks? please!

Sorry people. My eyes are pretty tired and I must not be typing the right phrases in the Search boxes.

I am asking if someone can cut and paste the location to tweaking the ZenCart, please.

  1. The Green colour for headings, I think they call this the "tile".

  2. The bottom border color for the sideboxes. Is this called the "wrappers".

I am learning how to put my logo together with my banner as one and then put that where the logo.gif file is located.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me out. I am cutting and pasting a lot of howtos, just need some guidance from the pros:smartalec:

  1. This is assuming you're using the classic stock template:
  • go to /includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css- Look around line 248. You'll see the following code:

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
margin: 0em;
** background-color: #abbbd3;**
** background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);**
padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
height: 1%;
}

  1. Well, yes and no. While they are, by nature, wrappers (as in they wrap around text), the specific name in css coding is ".leftBoxContainer" and ".rightBoxContainer" (if you're looking to change their properties).

Hope this helps.

Re: Where to go for these tweeks? please!

Thank you. I actually found it. I was messing with one line at a time until I eliminated it!

I also found some of my other questions that I was going to ask so my list of questions is a bit smaller!:lookaroun

Re: Where to go for these tweeks? please!

I am getting there, but need somemore help.

Trying to put banner up where I make a transparent logo real small to allow me to join my logo and banner as one.

I guess if one does not make the transparent logo the size of 1.px you would get a RED X overtop of your Banner.

I read this somewhere but cannot track it down, anyone know??

If you want to make a transparent "logo" to place over your background image, use pixel_trans.gif.
Make the link display: block; and specify the width and height to match your desired area.
Make the image 100%:
#logo a img {width: 100%; height: 100%;}

Re: Where to go for these tweeks? please!

Hello Glenn! I wanted to ask you if there is a way where you make the transparency the size of 1.0 px in Photoshop 7 and upload that as the logo, then just upload the banner/logo combo (basically say the "banner") where the banner changes would be. I remember this from somewhere sometime ago. A friend did it this way and it works, you do not get the red X and all that.

Otherwise, one last question. Can a person just put the logo in where the logo goes and then just put the banner up as well. I am thinking the design does not allow this as the logo won't go over the banner or banner will hide the logo, geesh, now I really am stirring up the mud!:yuck:

Re: Where to go for these tweeks? please!

Zen Cart already has a 1px transparent image called pixel_trans.gif. The rest of your question really wants a visual to clarify it. What do you mean by "banner"? Where should it be? Is it the ZC banner-position 1 or similar?

If you want to change header backgrounds on different pages, you can do that with Smart Backgrounds and the standard logo. If you want the logo over random or dynamically changing images, you can use CSS absolute positioning to get the logo partly covering the banner.

Re: Where to go for these tweeks? please!

Thank you Glenn. Tina actually got me to get this right. I was able to rid of the zen logo and just put a banner up with my logo embedded on it as one.

thank you for the other info. I am writing it down in my notes.
