Creating a franken-layout

[sally_maria]

I like the colours and images in Koi, the Wide Open layout, but I prefer to have my entries and sidebar modules more clearly defined. So I had the bright idea of trying to use them in an Abstractia layout (Au Lait, to be precise, as the colours seemed to match best.)

I can change the background easily enough - you can see it on sally_test but even though I have the file name for the header image, putting it into the header box on the Abstractia layout doesn't seem to do anything.

Am I attempting something beyond the powers of man? or is it just something obvious that I've missed.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hmm. Would you try adding this too?

.two-columns-left #header .inner {
margin-left: 6% !important;
margin-right: 6% !important;
}

Thank you, that's pretty much exactly the effect I was looking for.

I put a margin-top as well in to move the title up a bit, and I'm very pleased with how it looks.

Thank you again for all your help with this.
