Hello Gavick Team,

I´m very impressed with the new features of the hewahoo template, your templates are always getting better... my subscription is completing nearly one year and saw an evolution.

However I´m in trouble trying to change the size of the logo. Can you help me? By the way where is the help file of the template?

Thanks in advance,
Bruno

Hi

On template.css file, find this code:

Code: Select all
a#logo, a#logo_styled { display:block; float:left; height:48px; padding:23px 0 0 47px; width:221px; }


Change dimensions values of logo block.

By the way where is the help file of the template?


It's being done.
Wont take much more.

Cheers ;)

Hi Seichinha,

I did the changes on the dimensions values of logo block in the template.css file, but the logo still appear with the old dimensions. I also attached a screenshot of the page with the firebug opened, so you can see that the css is correct but the html is wrong. :S

Kind Regards,
Bruno

You need to change the dimensions in the gk_header.php. Then you will see the changes.

Ops... yeap, i forgot that we are making like this on last 2 templates.
Sorry. :blush:

jpb solution is correct, but you can do it other way without changing gk_header.php file (it's always best to keep this intact). Adding this line on template.css file (i.e.)

Code: Select all
#logo img {
width: 300px;
height: 80px}

I tried putting this code in the template.css file, but it's still not working for me. is this correct?

#logo img {
width: 400px;
height: 87px}
a#logo, a#logo_styled { display:block; float:left; height:87px; padding:23px 0 0 47px; width:400px; }
a#logo_styled{background:url('../images/logo.png') no-repeat 0 0;}
div#user_panel { width:auto; float:right; margin:0 15px 10px 0; color:#fff; font-size:15px; font-weight:bold; }
div#user_panel a { color:#fff; text-transform:uppercase; }

the address celestialproductions.com

another question... how do I keep the background image from scrolling when I scroll down. I just want the background to stay static and the rest of the site will scroll...

I tried this, but it didn't work...

background-attachment:fixed;

Yes I did... this is the actual code I just took out from style2.css that uploaded live.


/*

* template.css

*/



body{ background:url("../images/style2/main_bg_1.jpg") no-repeat fixed center top #000000 }

a { color:#7f0b0c; }

a:hover { color:#000; }

div#gk_wrapper { background:#fff url('../images/style2/top_bg.jpg') no-repeat right top; }




also would you know how I could fix that logo issue I'm having? I made the logo bigger and change the actual size in the css file and I added the code that they said to add from this topic, but it's still the same size. thanks.

I looked at my directy permission, because I noticed that style2 says unwritable when I'm on the template screen to edit a certain file. These are my permissions for those files could this be the problem? Because when I make the changes it does save the changes, because when I re-open the file the changes I made are still there... maybe somehow it's not publishing the changes?

hey I downloaded the file from here templates/gk_hewahoo/css/style2.css to my desktop
and made the change then I uploaded it again and I still don't see the changes.

but then I renamed the style2.css to style3.css to see if anything would change or if the background would disappear and I still see the background and all the style settings. So could it be another file that I have to change not the style2.css?

Hi

I can see that logo is placed as a background property so there is no other way than to overwrite it with a propper size already.

But please show me Your site so I'll be clearer on that one.

hey, it's www.celestialproductions.com the actual celestial productions logo on the top left I want to make it bigger and I changed the size in the css file, but it's not doing the job.

Also I changed the main menu text size as you could see it's smaller, but how do I change the dropdown text and box and make that smaller so it matches the main menu text?

thanks.

On template.css file, find this line:

Code: Select all
div#horiz-menu ul ul { font-size:14px; font-family:Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; }

change font size to smaller, like this
Code: Select all
div#horiz-menu ul ul { font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; }

If you want, here's my 2 cents:

Code: Select all
#gk_footer {width: 100%;margin-left: 0px!important}
#gk_footer #stylearea {padding-right: 10px}
#user_panel {position: absolute;right: 190px;top:90px;}


Cheers ;)

I already did this that's why they look smaller now, but if you click on portfolio and you see the drop down which says websites, album, logos etc. That text in that box is still bigger like 16 or 18 pt. I wasn't able to change that text so it matches the to links which are 14pt now.
