Be aware of the 'This is not an xweb original theme. Please honor the designer's licensing request.' disclaimer, though.

Does the licensing request mean that i cannot change the picture? Or am i still able too?

Hi.

The blurb on the xweb site says that the theme is under the Creative Commons license, but there's nothing in the actual theme files to reflect this; personally, I'd just do it, and drop xweb an email asking them if it's OK.

I really have no idea how to even do this at all... if you could walk me through it step by step that would be great:)

Hi William!

OK. I'm assuming that you're running Drupal locally, but the same principle applies for a remotely hosted site.

The terms directory and folder are interchangeable for this explanation.

Go to the directory where you installed the theme; on my XP box here I have a test site in C:\xampp\htdocs\testsite, and the clubdj theme is in C:\xampp\htdocs\testsite\sites\all\themes\clubdj.

The clubdj logo is in that directory as logo.png, which makes it the default logo. Theres a screenshot.png in there too, though that's only used by Drupal in the admin's theme selection form, so don't worry too much about it.

More importantly, there's a directory called images in there too, which contains all the other graphics used in the theme. There are only ten of them, and six of those are lines with a coloured gradient; they're repeated vertically or horizontally to make backgrounds.

The names of the files (navtop.gif, contentbg.gif and so on) will give you a good idea of what they're used for.

The image you want to change is there too (finally!); it's header.jpg, and it's 785 by 351 pixels.

If you replace that with your own image, it will appear as the header on your site.

You picked a good theme to experiment with; it looks really good and yet is surprisingly simple.

Have fun with it!

Pete.
