Tweaking question

[scottishdeerhounds]

I know absolutely nothing about CSS, but was able to find enough info on past posts in this community to get almost everything in the layout the way I want it. I just have one problem left. Can anyone advise me as to what I need to do to shift the Journal Title, Subtitle, and Page Title in the header just a little up, so that it doesn't mask any of the image I've put in the header? I am using branchandroot's Green Summer Theme of the Module Style.

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

ETA: Firebug allowed me to isolate the proper CSS code, and I have been able to fix the header image as 100% of the header space, as long as Firefox is the Browser in use. Granted, nobody looks at my journal but me, and I use Firefox, but its the principal of the matter. Is there a way to fix this custom CSS so that it also address the size issue in IE8?

ETA 2: I have now been informed that MS is not yet up to speed, and the potential fixes for this for IE8 would require substantial revision of the header as I currently have it fixed. Ah well, at least it looks OK to hopefully a third of users out there.

Question about a Flexible Squares layout

[pixiesandpotions]

I imported Flexible Squares from LiveJournal and I'm using a theme by refuted called Autumn. I'd really like the Navigation Strip at the top to show up, but I think there's something in the CSS hiding it. Anyone have a better idea than me why it might not be showing up?

Edit: Fixed! Now I just need to go back and mess with margins, since the fix messed them up.

Layout

[adalger]

As cesy pointed out, we were using one of the first styles evar here at s_s. I have for now changed the style to Mandala ('cuz I think it's pretty) two-column left-sidebar ('cuz IE6 doesn't choke too badly on any of it) as an interim measure, but I'm wondering a couple things.

Should we change our style on some rotating basis? Like, to whatever the current new-user default is? To one of the new styles whenever a code-push gives us new choices?

Should we have user-designed and user-customized styles? I.e., run a one-time or periodic contest to design the s_s style, with community voting and/or celebrity judges? Should we auction off styling rights, sort of like professional sports stadiums do with naming rights? And use the proceeds to ... that can be figured out later, but "donate to charity" or "buy something from the dw store to use as contest prizes" or "buy community paid time" come to mind as possible choices.

Should I make a poll with all these choices, and maybe some others, and post that? I probably should, but I want to get some community feedback about what choices should be presented before I make it.

Fixed background problem in Brittle

[elleth]

I'm currently in the process of customizing my journal, but ran into a problem on the way, but I know the grand total of nothing about CSS and am not even certain what caused it.

I am using this bit of code for a fixed background image, and while the image itself is fixed, my page continues to scroll, with a bit of no background image between navigation strip and page, as well as to the right side of the screen, and this driving me nuts. Since, when I scroll to the side, it is the entry content that is moving, could the problem be caused by the entry module width, or is it a background image issue? And more importantly, can this be fixed?

(The layout looks fine in Google Chrome, the problem appeared in Firefox.)

SOLVED: Secondly, Brittle forces the icon size to 70px with a 5px border. Is there a way to remove the border and display the icons in their original size?

Thanks so much in advance!
