white borders

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi

See my website here: www.friendsofhonleylibrary.org.uk/index.php/about

Username and password: preview

There are still a few white lines and background areas showing - can these be controlled from the theme editor? If so which settings please? I've already changed the 'Border Colour' option.

Please explain how to change the border colour to blue and also the background area behind the Mission Statement text.

Thanks

Hi

If you've changed all the border settings add

.article-title, h1 {border-top: 1px solid #fff;}
.zen-spotlight {border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;}
#header {border-left: 1px solid #fff;}

Together with your blue value

Where is the mission statement?

Cheers
Paul

Thanks

That's nearly complete.

There are still a couple of white horizontal lines visible.

Also, a white vertical bar on the sidebar of the about page.

Try adding these

.side-image .main-content-inner, .side-image #midCol {background: none}

.mainwrap.zen-spotlight {border-bottom: 0;}

.sidebar .moduletable {border-top: 0;}

Thanks. I think were nearly there. There is just one more line under the word Welcome on the front page.

The line to override is

.article-header {border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;}

Can I also just ask how to change the text colour on the footer modules? I want it all black. I don't see how to change that in the template settings. Apologies in advance if it's a built in setting and I missed it.

Try adding

#bottomwrap p, #bottomwrap h3 {
color: #fff;
}

Yep that is the current colour so for example add

#bottomwrap p, #bottomwrap h3, #bottomwrap a {
color: #000;
}

Hi

I'm having further problems with customising the colours in the main menu and footer areas.

I'd like to change the link colour in the footer text.

In the main menu I'd like to change the hover over colour, and also the colour and boldness settings for the text which shows the menu item currently being viewed.

I have tried changing what I think are the correct setting in the template, however the template text colour settings are not visible anymore - they all appear invisible.

Here is a shot of what I see in the theme colour customisation screen. This isn't may main issue though - I don't care if I can see the settings - I just want to change them!

Right so hover state

#menu ul > li a:hover, #menu ul > li .zen-menu-heading:hover {
color: #eee;
}

this is the current style so you need to change #eee to the colour you want to display

For the active state -

#menu ul > li.active > a, #menu ul > li.active > .zen-menu-heading {
color: #fff;}

Again changing this for your colour

These are both for the main menu and would need to be added to the custom.css file

Have I covered the link colour for the bottomwrap / footer

#bottomwrap a, #footerwrap a {
color: #eee;
}

if not you would need to add this line and change the colour
