Rather than raise a number of issues, though if needed i will

I have just started using this theme, as it is closest with what I had in Drupal 5. Viewing with IE7

Issue 1, Even though I have set the theme to 100% i am not getting 100% - I am guessing this is down to the 1600 setting - my screen is 1660 :)

Issue 2. By accident when i used my own logo I adjusted the logo height so that it extended lower than the top of the left side bar, i now know why and how to fix it but I actually liked it, and would like to keep it that way ! The problem is that the rounded corners of the block title are displaying a whiite area. I tried setting the white in the images to transparent, but it didnt work. Is there a simple fix ?

Issue 3. I should like to have a second logo/image that is in the top right - is there a prefered way of doing this

Issue 4. I have on some nodes Tables most with set width etc., but now they are stretching to full width, breaking the node layout. It appears theme related, but as i am no expert, I tried changing the css, but without luck. Could you point me in the right direction.

Beyond 1600px the stretchy boxes around node teasers will break.

Without a link to actually see the problem I can't help.

Not really any preferred method, you can add an image and float it right if you are not using the search box in the header.

Not really sure (I cant recall right now) its possible I set something like table {width: 100%;}, dig around in the CSS with Firebug, otherwise I will look in the coming days, sorry but I am very busy the next 3 or 4 days.

Thanbkyou for the reply

Issue 1 is best i leave alone till monitor standards are 2000 wide:)

Issue 2 The specific images are block-tl.png and block-tr.png in the images directory. When opened they are pink and white, no transparency on the white which is what I tried changing, to no avail. I still got a white background

Issue 3 I copied the css for the standard logo and tweaked it as with the code in the template, works well

Issue 4 Thats the one I had been playing with. What I hadn't realised is that for any change to take effect I had to save the theme configuration first ( I am used to change and go themes :) )

All i need to do now is loose the black bar, but thats something for the morning :)

I opened a new issue for the table problem at http://drupal.org/node/340700.

It appears that it is a transparency issue for PNG, I am using IE7 but could only find info on issues with IE6, maybe its down to how it is being used. I ended up cheating adjusted the theme to the colour I wanted, grabbed the colour, then duplicated the two images in question and changed the colour , made them into transparent GIF's then changed the CSS as needed, including sidebar background. Its a simple, but not perfect workaround if you dont need to continually change the colours

As a side issue I finaly lost the black bar, again it was down to re saving the theme before it worked

No, its not actually a transparency issue - its more to do with the original design of base.png

To do what you want would require a complete rebuild of base.png with the full intention of having coloured backgrounds as opposed to white.

Thanks for the reply and the hint, I had a play with back.png and now at least have a better understanding of how it works

Take a closer look at the color.inc file in PR - its crucial to understand how it all works (base.png + color.inc + the CSS). I find it very helpful to set up a 10x10px grid in Photoshop ;)

Thanks for the hint :) Just noticed a small error with one of the pre-defined schemes - 'Ocen Water', well unless that was how it was meant to be :)

The way it works at first glance looks quite simple... now to get my head around it

Looking at how the pre-defined schemes are listed makes me wonder if there would be a way for a user to create an independent file listing their own schemes that is automatically called. That is once they have decided on the schemes they like, they create their own sets, so all they need to do then is call up the correct one when needed. An example may be different schemes for Spring Summer Autumn Winter ... Maybe it could be even named and saved through the Theme settings page.... this could even become a feature request :)

Oh yeah, the Ocen water spelling error, I think I fixed it ages ago in head, will be good in the next release, lord knows how many iterations that little bugger kept crepping through... lol.

What you propose might be possible using color.module 08 (a new vastly improved color module). Instead of generating one color profile at a time it generates ALL the color profiles at once. Worth looking into - but I will wait until that module is fully stable for release and perhaps hopefully it replaces the core color module one day.

Seems everything is resolved for now.
