Question about the Square template

Post by eazy »

I just installed Serendipity and I want to use the Square template.
2 questions:
* I want to replace the banner (square.jpg) with my own logo, but about half the size; so the box with the logo should also decrease in size.

*I want to change the colors of the 2 side bars.

I tried to change some of the above in the style.css, but that didn't work out properly. O yeah! I'm new to Serendipity, so be considerate :roll:

So what dimensions do you want the logo to be exactly? Right now, the image itself is is 430x380. The box it is assigned to has a width of 440px and a height of 350px.

Those "colors" are fake columns generated by the image /templates/square/img/sbbg.gif. You have to edit the image if you want to change the colors.

I want the image 430x (about)150. So the box should become that size also. The 2 sidebars should go up

Yes, the container for the image should be the same size as the image and it will move the sidebars up.

Can you tell me where I can change the size of that container. I tried to find it in the style.css, but may have overlooked this.

Code: Select all

#serendipity_banner, #header {
(...)
height:350px;
Changing that to 150px should do the trick.
