Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hi Jeff,
First of all, thank you for a wonderful theme! Newswire is clearly one of the best themes for Drupal. And, all of your other themes are great as well!
However, I do need to ask for support on two, unrelated, items. Sorry if this is not the right format to post the requests - I am new to Drupal.
First, I am having a problem with collapsed field groups partially overlaping form buttons (see attached screen pint) - it happens the same way on all forms. When groups are expended, there is no problem. Unfortunately, nothing I've tried seems to help. I am learning Drupal, PhP and CSS at the same time so any help and/or direction would be much appreciated. (I do have years of experience with C, C++, Java, ... - but not with PhP/CSS)
Secon, what do I need to do if I'd like to change the appearance of tabs (or "local actions" in Drupal?) - see attached tabs clip. I'd like to have a bit more padding, on all sides, within a tab as well as change the shape and/or color of a tab (rounded corners, for example). I don't know where to start working on this. Could ypu please point me in the right direction (files, functions, etc...)
Thanks in advance for any help!
Roy

Comment #1
Jeff Burnz commentedFor the fieldset legends see - http://drupal.org/node/330012
The paddings/margins etc for local task tabs is Drupal default (system.css, somewhere around line 220 approx by memory), Newswire only recolors the borders and backgrounds etc, so if you want to change the size of them you will need to copy over the relevant CSS from system.css and make adjustments, the easiest way is to use Firebug.

Dusty commentedJeff,
Thank you for a quick reply! Fieldset legend is fixed - looks great. Excellent memory - tabs are in system.css line 220! Would I copy the relevant code from system.css to style.css? And, would I change this code to add background pics and/or rounded corner pics? Thanks again for your help and patience (must be frustrating to be getting such questions...)!
Cheers,
Roman
P.S. Do you also do custom dev work in Drupal - either modules, themes, or both? Where can I get info on your rates etc.? Thanks.
Comment #3
Jeff Burnz commentedYes, you can just copy over the local tasks css to style.css and start fiddling with it.
I do custom themes, not so many modules (not really my expertise), and you can contact me via my contact form, either http://adaptivethemes.com/contact or http://drupal.org/user/61393/contact if adaptive is in maintenance (I'm doing a lot of upgrades at the moment, so I might be down).
