A few changes I'd like to make to [community profile] jewelforge:

  1. Right now the title and subtitle are not displaying at all. I'd like it to display the title and/or subtitle right before "Recent Entries," on the bar where it says that right now. How do I do that? Assume no prior knowledge of S2; I asked questions about this a long time ago on a different account, and forgot how to do it.

  2. How do I put a banner image in between that title bar and the menu? Do I need to add it in a custom layer (or something) or can I like use off-centred CSS?

  3. Is there any way to centre the menu the way that the posts are currently centred?

Thanks in advance!

Current customizations are viewable at https://gitorious.org/atomic-pink/atomic-pink/blobs/master/atomic-pink.css

Edit: Also, while I'm asking, is there any way to put the menu at the very top of everything, a la Anil Dash's site?

Greetings again~

I followed the suggestion and customized Dusty Foot, which goes pretty close to my ideal layout. I looked around this community to see if some of my questions have already been answered and while I found some of the CSS codes I needed, I still need some help.

First of all, I noticed that the width of this layout is dynamic and changes if I shrink the browser. I found this code:

#content {
width: 540px;
}

But of course, it only affects the content, not the header. Is there a way to make it ALL static?
SOLVED

I would like to remove "manage tags" and "manage links" from the sidebar. I know only I see them, but I don't want them, I find them distracting. SOLVED
I would like to make the entry links and tags in entries, lower case. SOLVED
I would like there to be a 20 px margin at the top and bottom. I tried:

#header {
margin-top: 20px;
};

which worked, but there is a white border at the top of the header. :c
SOLVED

I would like to add a 1 px border around the whole body, including the header and footer, not just the content. SOLVED

And the most important of all: THE DREADED NAVBAR! I would like to:

make it centered and move it below the header (sans margin);
• make the navbar fonts case sensitive, bold and bigger;
Nevermind, I figured these out!
change the navbar background colour to #e6e6e6 and add a 1px border on the top and bottom. Would that be possible?SOLVED
remove the "tags" link. I suppose the code I need here is different from the one I was given in my previous entry, since I'm not editing a layer (again, leaving the tag text blank is not a solution, because it creates a wider gap between the "reading" and "memories" links).SOLVED

I actually don't like the way the navbar is behaving at all. Would it be possible to force the text to stay on the same line all the time? The way it's behaving right now just doesn't work with the header. Somehow this fixed itself when I hid the journal title.

That's about it, I think. It's...actually a lot more than I thought it would be, I'm so sorry! I hope I'm not asking too much. Any help is greatly appreciated!
