I downloaded your template Blacksky from Word Press. I am trying to change the color of the navigation bar and the hover color, and cannot find where to do this. Also I am building a website with your template so I wish to delete the Comment area. I found your website at the top of the CSS page and thought it best to ask the creator of the site for solutions.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Vicki
At line 140 in the stylesheet you need to change this line
background-image: url(“design/menu-hover.png”);
This sets the black menu bar, you can change it to the color you want by deleting it and use and css style instead.
And the same for the hover, it´s at line 225
background-image: url(“design/menu.png”);
Hope this helps you.!
I love this theme.
By the way, I have a quick question.
Actually I’ve already installed a plug in called “Simple Local Avatar”
People can add their picture to their profile.
The picture will be showing unless people do “reply”
That means if people do “post” the message, then the icon is just “shadow”
Please someone advice me how to reflect the icon to avatar’s one instead of shadow.
Your layout and colors are perfect for my client. However, I’m using your template for a static site, no blogging. Can I remove the blog code from the Stylesheet in the WordPress Editor?
Also, is it possible to install a gallery plugin in the right column instead of the blog function?
It would be great if you could answer my questions. If not, please let me know where I might find the answer.
Thanks for your help!

You can read about what you can do under GNU CPL v2.0 here http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
To install a gallery plugin in the right column, you just need to install a plugin that lets you have the gallery in the widget zone. If you activate that after you have installed it, then it will be the only thing in the zone.
Thanks, Jimmy. After I check out the link and play around, I’ll let you know how it works out.–DG
Hi Jimmy,
Thanks for the info re the side bar. Your instructions worked perfectly!
I went through the WP Forum to troubleshoot the distortion of the thumbnails on my gallery page. There seemed to be a solution on the following string re this issue, see:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-thumbnails-distorted-1?replies=6
The responder recommends changing the thumbnail with to “auto” as noted in response and in coding below:
.ngg-gallery-thumbnail img {
width: auto;
}
There is no such coding in the Version 2.11 nextGen css style page. If you view my site through IE8, you’ll see what I mean, see:
http://www.lilyente.com/test/?page_id=436
I’m guessing this can be fixed in either the margin or padding, but I don’t want to risk changing these before I get your input. Please let me know where in the .ngg-gallery-css I can fix this problem.
I need to make four (4) more galleries, so it’s crucial that I have this fix before I create them.
Also, I’d like to change the font color in the headings of items added to the the sidebar, such as the NextGen Widget, which is currently added, and a test version of the Text widget. Where can I find this coding is the CSS?
Once I have these fixes, I can present the test version to my clients.
Thanks for your help.

Hey
As far as I can see the problem with the gallery is that the “ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box” sets a width of 25% on all 4 images, but the “ngg-gallery-thumbnail” adds another margin-right: 5px; to all 4 images.
That’s more than 100%, so try to remove the margin-right: 5px; and see if that helps.

Hi Jimmy,
I’ve noticed that when I am on a parent or sub page, the drop down menu for that parent/sub in the dropdown menu doesn’t show menu.png when hovering. Is there an easy way to fix that?
Also, where can I change the header text to use a hyperlinked logo instead?
Thanks,
brad.

If you add this line background-image: url(design/menu.png); in the css at line 277, it should fix the problem for you.
To make your slider into a link / image, you have to change the code in your plugin.

Thank You! That worked pretty well. I am still working on the page, but I will be back to make a donation when the contract is complete.
Sincerely,

Very nice theme Jimmy!
I like the simplicity, but at the same time it doesn’t look doll, and definitely not if you throw a few pictures in your posts.

Hi, I’m using this theme on my site and so far it’s worked out great. I would like to know though how to get rid of the shadow/shading on the right side of the page. You can see the darker shadow running the length of the main page.
you can visit my site to see what i mean.
also is there way to increase the width of the overall theme slightly?
Thank you in advance,
matt

Hey
To remove the shadow you need to go to this class in the css .center_wrapper, and delete these lines “background-image: url(“design/indhold.png”);” and “repeat: repeat-y;”
To increase the theme width in the same class change “width: 990px;” to what you want and the same in the class called “menu” change the width, that will change all above the footer.
In the class called “.center_wrapper-footer” remove the line with the background image and use background color instead, that will remove the shadow in the footer.
Then it’s just a matter of changing the width on the columns.
Hope that helps
Wonderful, thank you! That worked like a charm.
Now if I can indulge your expertise once more. Is it possible to have the header image link to the homepage? so visitors can click the header image and refresh the page rather than using a “home” button on the nav menu.
Thank you kindly,
Matt

Greetings,
I’m trying to remove the post header and footer on my main page. I using the latest version of wordpress and the black skyline theme. as i want to use the theme as a webpage more so than a blog. I unsure of what code to use and where to place it. I tried editing the single.php file with no luck. I’m hoping someone can help me.
Thanks

Hey
In index.php, single.php you need to delete the code between and and again between and
Or you can use the page template to the blog posts, but that hasn’t got the right side column.
Hope it helps you.??
I figured it out after working with the code a little more to get the desired result I was looking for. Thanks for making such a awesome theme and providing excellent support for the theme.

So far so good on the theme, if you’re interested check out my site and see how it’s been going. I wonder, is it possible to add a separator line between the post footer and the next post as well as between the posts and the sidebar? Essentially “blocking” each post into each own little section?
Thanks,
Matt

Oh sry totally forgot you.!!
In the folder called design you have a picture called baggrund.png, you can either replace it with this one http://w3blog.dk/wp-content/uploads/baggrund.png
Or you can change it in the stylesheet so that you don’t use it.
body
{
font:1.1em Verdana,sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #4c4c4c;
background: url(“design/baggrund.png”) repeat-x scroll 0 0 #535353;
}
to change the rest plz read this file
http://w3blog.dk/wp-content/uploads/change.txt
And yes the theme is free

Hi
regarding that alpha you could set the background to white, and give the file called indhold.png some alpha in photoshop.
Jimmy,
Thank you very much!
One more thing, I want have a background image but the your theme has white background, how do I get the background transparant so the image is in the background and everything else on top?
Best regards
Peter
