Hi.

 

Does anyone know what item in stylesheet.css you change to vary the colour of the drop down hover bar in, say Manufacturers and Currency?

 

Thanks in anticipation

Hi!

 

I'm new to the whole on-line store thing, and definitely to .php and all the stuff associated with this application - so I apologize in advance if I'm asking a silly question!

 

What I want to know is...to change the fonts, text, appearance of my store, I modify the stylesheet.css file? That is the only file I need to change? Can I do that in Frontpage?

 

I'm scared, I dont really even know what a stylesheet is LOL. :blush:

Stylesheets are an easy way to control the display attributes for fonts, colors, margins, spacing, highlight, etc. To change the lineup of infoboxes on the left/right columns, you'll need to altar the code in the catalog/includes/column_left.php & column_right.php.

 

If you want to any more that just these basic changes, i.e. to completely customize the look and layout, your best bet is to grap a template contribution. I use the STS contrib and highly recommend it.

Thank you very much for your help!

 

Hopefully I can make this work without delving into the contribution thing. I want to be as simple as possible (its a small, one gal operation), and I dont want to lose my mind in the process..LOL...

I have been following up creigb's link and guess I need to change part of the Body component of stylesheet.css.

 

Set the border color which sets the color around the inside browser window including the scrollbar.

 

Set the top border to 10 with the same color and it will drop down the table and the scrollbars of the browser.

 

Could anyone please decode the above section in the documentation for me please?

Don't worry, once you start you will see contribution or other looks and decide you want to do that. You should give up all thoughts of 'simple'. You will soon see what you can do and realize that is far better than simple.

Hi again.

 

I have been through the stylesheet and I still can't see the code I need to change. Has anyone out there done this?

 

Regards
