I really like Munch and Fog for their visual impact and I think that these themes nicely complement the flavour of the sites. A great discovery!</p> <p>I am busy trying to learn enough CSS so that I can be independent in implementing a few modifications, but it is a daunting task. I apparently know just enough to be dangerous.</p> <p>The first thing that occurred to me is that it might be helpful if I only had to find my way around one theme, so I would like to use the Fog theme for both of them, but introduce the Munch graphics to one of them to differentiate each.</p> <p>I think that in time I can figure out how to migrate the Much graphic elements to Fog, For testing it I just moved the bg.jpg of the header, and it needs some work.</p> <p>When I do this it is obvious because of where the navigation lives that I will need to modify the nav titles. I figured out how to modify the font size, but after a few hours I am still stymied as to how to change the colour which will improve the readability issue caused by where they land on the graphic.</p> <p>As well, although I could probably use the “Pages”, I would really like to ad another nav title to directly access (in one step) a page. Trying to accomplish this has confounded me too.</p> <p>I suspect that you have probably already provided guidance to a number of lost souls like myself on these matters. If it exists, could you please point me to anywhere where there may be a few hints to help me along the path? It could be a while before I get my CSS skills up to speed and I am looking forward to beginning my adventure in Blogging.</p> <p>Thank you so much.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Ray </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-1028 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:20:36 +0000 milo 1028@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>Well, we can do one thing now:<br /> send me wp login details via mail /milo317 AT gmail DOT com<br /> then I will check for all errors ;P </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-1027 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:59:58 +0000 flo_ro 1027@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>ups...doublepost - sorry </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-1026 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:54:18 +0000 flo_ro 1026@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>sorry to report but ccleaner didn't change anything.<br /> You using the latest fog-version for your showcase or an older one? Still think it has something to do with probably one small difference between my theme-version (which is unmodded except for the things mentioned in this thread) and the one of the showcase/newvox-site. Or any other ideas? </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-1023 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:58:27 +0000 milo 1023@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>Strange behaviour, works in ie rather than in fox,<br /> might be caused by fox' cache,<br /> please check <a href="http://www.ccleaner.com/">ccleaner</a> if you're using windows,<br /> helpful software that cleans garbage and temporary cache files. </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-1018 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:22:47 +0000 flo_ro 1018@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>thank you but sadly didn't really change anything...IE still works and Firefox still shows the picture not adapted to screen-size (btw can provide screenshots if they help anything?). Did clear browser-cache and everything; also developer tools in IE show the changed style.css line in effect.</p> <p>any other ideas? As I said, strange thing is that your fog-showcase(and newvox.org) somehow work right in my firefox though the css isnt really different in the end. Btw my resolution where the problem is showing is 1600*1050. </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-1015 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:43:25 +0000 milo 1015@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>yes, this is line to use and alter, use it this way:</p> <p>body {margin: 0;padding: 0;background: #000 url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat 50% 0;} </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-1012 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:45:09 +0000 flo_ro 1012@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>Sorry for probably being thick but I am not perfectly sure I know the right context for your answer:</p> <p>you mean that line in style.css?<br /> body {margin: 0;padding: 0;background: #000 url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat top center;}</p> <p>as it was in your "original" download package (and is @newvox.org and your showcase site). </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-1004 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 19:11:27 +0000 milo 1004@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>Check if the background img is centered like this: <strong>50% 0</strong> </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-998 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:42:33 +0000 flo_ro 998@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>also a probably "stupid" question...but perhaps easy to answer for the creator of the theme:</p> <p>when I look at my blog with firefox on monitors with pretty high resolution, the picture somehow isnt scaled (though it would still have the "reserves" to do it to that size) while e.g. in Internet Explorer it is done as expected.<br /> Strange thing is, that your showcase-fog or eg. the newvox.org site fog-theme do work perfectly (i.e. scale the image) also in firefox. Did a comparison of the style.css to mine but didnt find any differences there explaining that differing behaviour. So pretty lost how this could be.</p> <p>The tipps concerning original question worked btw :) - very happy with the theme! </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-postview-page-columns-different-from-overview#post-995 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:16:17 +0000 flo_ro 995@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>cool - thank you very much.

When changing into single-post-view both columns suddenly are on the right side of the content...and so if you change between both views keep on changing all the time which at least I (and some of my readers) find quite irritating. Well one can live with it if need be - but somehow can't fully believe this is a feature and not a bug? Am I wrong?<br /> - in the single-post-view in the righternmost column the about widget suddenly is "lost"</p> <p>all in all great theme anyways though - just would love it even more if these two things would be "different" </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-compatability-view#post-906 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:56:52 +0000 milo 906@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>Go to<br /> <strong>appearance/editor/Stylesheet (style.css)</strong><br /> and find the line starting with <strong>#header</strong>,<br /> underneath you will find <strong>#header h1 a</strong>,<br /> where you overwrite your current css rules. </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-compatability-view#post-904 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:39:53 +0000 Prevail 904@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>One more question, in which I am embarassed to reveal my painful ignorance:</p> <p>Where do I place the block of code you have listed?</p> <p>Thank you for your indulgence. </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-compatability-view#post-903 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:29:21 +0000 milo 903@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>Use this block of code</p> <p>#header h1 a{width:100%;height:37px;margin:0;background:transparent;display:block;} .des{margin:-7px 0 0 0;padding:0;color:#AEC1CD;float:right;clear:right;}</p> <p>then it should show up same in all browsers. </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-theme-compatability-view#post-902 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 04:41:03 +0000 Prevail 902@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>I am using your FOG theme. I've noticed that on the Internet Explorer browser, and some others like Safari, the Blog Description (which is the short statement below the Blog Title) is often displayed to the left and top of the Blog Title instead of being right justified below the Blog Title. When I click "Compatability View" on Explorer it fixes this problem and realigns everything.</p> <p>What can I do so that the display looks the way it's supposed to all the time. Other people who view my site may not be aware of the Compatability View option on Explorer and so the Blog Title and Blog Description will just look cockeyed to them. I'm not even sure if other browsers like Safari have such an option. I am far from an expert in these matters.</p> <p>Apparently things get displayed differently on newer browsers. So what changes can I make, if any?</p> <p>Thank you, and I really like the FOG theme. Very nice looking.</p> <p>PREVAIL OUT. </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-page-alignment-etc-help#post-599 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 14:03:21 +0000 milo 599@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>Well, simply said you might check first <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp">browser statistics</a> before setting on a screen size that is not supported...applying usability and accessibility for all users. </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-page-alignment-etc-help#post-598 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 10:41:10 +0000 shacon 598@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p>I meant to say width:1200px, instead of margin:1200px in above post.</p> <p>-james </p> http://forum.milo317.com/topic/fog-page-alignment-etc-help#post-597 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 07:49:21 +0000 shacon 597@http://forum.milo317.com/ <p><blockquote>Seems like your issues are not completely solved, as your site does not work in 1024px screen size anymore, right sidebar is pushed down under main area.<br /> You might look into that.</blockquote></p> <p>It looks fine to me. I am on a 21" iMac @ 1680 x 1050 resolution. My Safari and Firefox browser windows extend the full width of the screen, therefore I see no problem</p> <p><strong>HOWEVER</strong> you are correct. If I change the resolution to 1024 x 768, OR change the width of the browser window to less than 1176 pxs, the right sidebar IS pushed down below the main content.</p> <p>My question to you is can this be become a 'fixed width' theme at 1200pxs, instead of a fluid column theme? If so, what would I have to add or delete in the style.css and where?
