Green Arrows in wrong place in Marinelli theme

The problem appears to be with Marinelli (it works fine in Bartik) a css/layout issue, I'm on it too.

This may help you get on the right track. These modifications preserve existing functionality in Marinelli theme, they just define the ".arrow" class attributes to be confined to the Comments Container. Because your theme CSS gets processed after Galleryformatter CSS it is nearly impossible to make the changes in the greenarrows.css (I think impossible actually) which would be preferred way to go. You will just have to remember that you changed them if Marinelli was ever updated or something that caused you to overwrite the changes you made. There are a couple more ways to do it but this is the best way in this circumstance. I tested this on default Marinelli and default Galleryformatter with no mods to any code aside from the below.

2 minutes and you're ready to go!

In sites/all/themes/marinelli/css/comments.css

Line 32 change

.arrow {
  height: 0;
  width: 0;
  position: absolute;
  top: 10px;
  left: -28px;
}

TO

#comments .arrow {
  height: 0;
  width: 0;
  position: absolute;
  top: 10px;
  left: -28px;
}

Then on line 85 change

.arrow{
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 15px;
}

TO

#comments .arrow {
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 15px;
}

THEN in greenarrows.css on line 41 change

.galleryformatter-greenarrows .gallery-thumbs li {
  float: left;
  background: transparent none;
  overflow:hidden;
  padding-top: 3px;
}

TO

.galleryformatter-greenarrows .gallery-thumbs li {
  float: left;
  background: transparent none;
  overflow:hidden;
  padding-top: 3px;
  margin:0;
}

That eliminates Drupal core css from hijacking your ul li and adding .4em of padding to the thumbnail container.

There are probably 2 or 3 more pixels you can track down but it looks pretty good and you can do in less than 5 minutes!

Hope this helps, enjoy! :)

Works for me...thanks for the time saved.

Re-read instructions. There are two files you need to make minor changes to.

Also, clear the Cache in the Admin -> Performance
And also clear your local browser cache to be on the safe side.

Thx DRIVE,
I had the same problem with Marinelli, and just before doing some css research of what's joing wrong with firebug ... I just checked google to see if I'm not alone ... and you find your solution ! You rock's ;-)

PS: thx too Manuel for your module and sharing this to the community !

We're seeing some issues with different contributed themes, if you guys figure out a way to prevent it please attach a patch. I've tried being specific in the module's CSS declaration, but of course they can be overridden.

Let's work on this there, please help test the attached patch on that issue.

Hi,
according to the Marinelli's documentation, it is better to create a sub-theme and introduce any change to the css in the subtheme. This way, if you update the theme at a later stage, you don't need to redo the above mentioned changes again.
Hope this is helpful.
