One last thing (please don't hate me...) I would like to change the font color on the Privacy Notice In the EzPage Nave bar - but I can't get it to work!

Thanks,
Tina

Find this declaration in the stylesheet.css

#navEZPagesTop a {
color: #fff; /change this to suit/
}

Find this declaration in the stylesheet.css

#navEZPagesTop a {
color: #fff; /change this to suit/
}

Ok. That did it. I was this close when I changed this section of the stylesheet....

#navEZPagesTop {
margin: 0;
padding: 6px 0 6px 0;
background: url(../images/tier2_bg.gif) repeat-x;
font-size: 1em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #771b5a;

Thanks so much.

NOTE: This tip can be used with any template!

Open includes/templates/comstock/common/tpl_main_page.php

Find the following section of code at around line(s) 112 - 115

<?php
  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3)) {
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>

and replace with the following section of code

<?php
  if ($this_is_home_page && SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3)) {
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>

I JUST LOVE this template but the color scheme doesn't match well... so I want to fine tune it only. The layout rocks and is everything I hoped for but I need help with the following:

(NOTE- this is only the 3rd template i have installed first was success, 2nd was failure -trying to get fixed and this one was a success so I am new to this I guess is the point)

1. I would like to remove the gray banner near the top behind the graphic
2. I would like to change the colors of the boxes,
   3- I would like to make the banner go across the top
   4- add back ground

Here is our current site on a horrible cart: https://www.exclusivelyknd.com but want to try to somewhat mimic the site as far as color scheme etc....

I appreciate any help and if I am asking in the wrong place please send me packing (with a map to the right location of course lol)

Thanks!

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

What color do you want the boxes to be?

a blue shade that matches the other blues in the scheme...

my other site-
luvingmammadiapers.com has all matching schemes and i like that :)

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

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

They are graphics

is there a way to get the graphics buttons to match too?

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

Just unzip the file and upload the entire includes folder to your server
