Hi!

I would like if it's possible to change the height of top section, where the logo is placed. I would like to increase the height, for doing bigger the logo, or decrease the size of the main menu.

Also, If possible, I would like to change colors in the template for adjust with corporate color:

- the grey background to 818a8F
- Red tones to 822433 and C60C30

And another question .. have you some extension for twitter feeds?

I am using joomla 1.7, and installed last update of your template.

Thank you very much for your help.

Enable in joomla administrator> Template Manager > Advanced Features > CSS Override

Then edit templatesgwtn2cssoverride.css and add below codes

Changing the height - change 124 to anything you like e.g 180px

Code: Select all
/* Increase Logo Height */
#gkLogoWrap {
    min-height: 124px;
    position: relative;
}


Changing topmenu (color 822433)
Code: Select all
/* Top Menu Background Change */
#gkTopMenu {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #822433;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #F93D1C;
    border-radius: 3px 3px 0 0;
    height: 37px;
    line-height: 37px;
}


Changing Background Colour - Note: This will override background logo picture behind logo
Code: Select all
/* Changing background colour */
html {
    background: #818A8F;
}


For changing main menu colour which is in your example C60C30 you need to edit the image which is in
If you are using "Style1"
Code: Select all
templates/gk_twn2/images/style1/menu_item.png


Good Luck...

You can use following css code in templates/gk_twn2/css/override.css file. Enable Css override feature from template setting > Advanced Settings > Css Override " On ".

Code: Select all
/* Moving logo container and logo image left handside, change height and width as you require*/
h1#gkLogo { position: absolute; height: 60px; width: 500px; }
h1#gkLogo a { height: 60px; width: 500px; }

If you are using a text logo you might need changes to css.

See you around...
