background:url(../images/site-bg-flowers.gif) 0 7em repeat;

Try changing this part back to 9em instead of 7em. Or try 8em.

No go. Tried 8, 9, and 10 - they all look the same.

2)Anytime you want to change text that you're not sure where it comes from, go to your admin, go to "Developers Tool Kit" and do a search for the text you want to change. You can limit the search to language files only. Also make sure to make the changes within the right folder... are you changing it in the apple_zen folder?

okay - I got the titles changed to the way that I want, but something still isn't right.

/public_html/includes/languages/english/html_includes/apple_zen/define_conditions.php is the file that is being edited using the define pages editor tool, some changes have been made to that file but from the site the 'conditions of use' (now titled fabric terminology) page is still blank, I copied this file into the html_includes directory on the chance that the override was being picked up.. no change.

/public_html/includes/languages/english/conditions.php has the default message define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Your Conditions of Use information should be on this page.'); which I might expect to see... except that isn't the file being edited by the define pages editor .:huh: .

Have you checked your permissions on the html_includes folder?

As far as the header, I think its because you have changed the repeat-x on that image to just repeat (I understand you want it to go all the way down the page) but just for kicks, try changing it back to repeat-x and see if that fixes the top issue.

Hi Jade:

1. How do I remove the top search?
2. How do I remove every sidebox on the right and just keep the drop down menu?

Thanks so much....LOVE APPLE!

I love your template!! I've got it on a test site and I haven't modified it at all. I'm having a bit of trouble -- my main page is basically blank. I have only the main_page.tpl stuff from the Define Pages editor. I went in Configuration and told it to display stuff on the main page -- do I have to do something to your template to make it happen? The test site has stuff on the main page!! See http://three-elms.geekfarmlife.com/ for what I mean. Thanks a lot for your help!

how do I center the logo?
It seems to default to being align-left.

1. Turn off sideboxes/search_header.php in the "Tools", "Layout Boxes Controller".

What are you trying to turn on on the home page? If you change to a different template, do you still see the issue?

thank you, works like a charm!

I love the 3D effect along the sides of the main page, is there any way to replicate this effect along the sides of the logo and the sides of the drop-down menu? I'm in the middle of customizing the page and would like to see the entire thing appear to hover as a whole.

check out the page to see what I mean.

also, the shadowAlpha_bot.png doesn't seem to look transparent on a dark background the way that shadowLeft.png and shadowRight.png do.

ps. where's your donation box? this template is well worth the support.

It does display without the overlap when changed back to repeat-x...

Thanks.

I found the text in header.php but still would like help on putting a header image in place.
Okay, I must be blind!! I can't find the text "to change the color...." I looked in tpl_header.php and I do not see it. HELP!!! My eyes are bugging out! Thanks

Hi Jade,

I figured out what was wrong. It was nothing to do with your theme at all. I had to feature some products or put some new products. I have seen some stores where the category images are displayed on the main page, and this is what I would really like to see, or a random selection of products. I don't add new products very often. But this is not an issue with your theme. Thanks for your help!

Hey I have a question,

I want to replace the Apple Zen logo with a background but I want it to cover the whole area.

I have a gradient overlay with 3 images, I changed the first

#navMainWrapper {
background-image:url('../images/t/1.gif');

and the third

#navCatTabsWrapper {
background-image:url('../images/t/3.gif');

images/t/2.gif should come on the area of the Apple Zen logo and the "motto"

How should I do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi There,

I see that issue... your site is the first I've seen with a darker background and I didn't realize the issue. Though I'm not quite sure yet of the solution.

Donations aren't required... however Paypal works on my apple zen site. :smartalec: Apple Zen

I would need to see a link please. :smile: Why do you need the three images?

I need to come up with a solution for doing that, because a lot of people have requested that feature. Will do that when I have the moment. :yes:

Go to your admin, choose "Configuration", "Layout Settings", "Categories - Always Show on Main Page"
