Hi guys,
First of all – great theme. I’m having lots of fun with it, and it’s nearly how I’d like it. I’m trying to replicate an official site as much as possible.
The site I am trying to replicate is
http://www.titanfall.com/game-info
My site is
http://www.titanfallgamer.com/
As you can see, using the BG slide I have been able to replicate it fairly well. There are a few design choices that have been made with this theme that do puzzle me however, and I am hoping some people can assist me (Be it Official or experts) to get the site more to my liking.
Here is what I am looking to achieve
As you’ll see, I’ve marked the example areas which I will match below.
Example 1. I want a BG around the site, whilst using the BG Slide. The white below it is too plain. How can I achieve this? I’d also like to add a drop shadow to the BG slide to show it as if it is layered above the lower section of the page.
Example 2. I would like to set a slight gradient to the header-bg. Although I can change the color, I cannot set a gradient. If I was to make one, how should the code look?
Example 3. I’d like to re-locate the Social icons here. I don’t wish to use an ad header. Can this be done?
And finally….When I set a BG image for the categories, it stops the menu / header being full width (Like example 2) – If I set the BG as a color, it maintains the full width of the header. I’d like it to do this with a BG attached. What code do I need to change?
I hope you guys can help!
Thanks!
Hello,
1. For the bottom shadow you can edit this image images/header/bg-shadow.png and make the shadow like you want.
2. You can use this if you want to generate a gradient from CSS http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/ or make it with a png and overlap it if is possible somehow.
3. Remove from widget the socials, and about ad on header, don’t use ads and the space will be empty.
If you use background image or color for categories the them will switch to boxed version.
Thanks for the message!
Marius,
Firstly – thank you for your initial response.
However, it hasn’t really shed much light on anything, other than what I already knew from my testing.
So, I’ll hopefully go more in-depth and hopefully get a bit more info from yourself. I am usually pretty good at edits, but as the theme is quite complicated, I don’t wish to break anything 🙂
So firstly.
The headerbg Gradient – Where do I put the code for this?
The social Icons – I want them where the Ad Iframe is, so like this example.
Secondly, If I set the BG as a color for the Categories, it maintains the full-width header. If I set it to an image, it makes it boxed. I don’t want this, I want a full width header still!!!
Example with BG color set
The theme was quite expensive, so I was hoping for some good support! 😀
Thanks,
Just to update – I have now done the header Gradient – I just need help with stoping it switching to boxed view when I have a BG on Categories – If I set a color BG it stays full width like I want!
Something else that confuses me – When I first preview the change via the site edit, it does EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!
It’s once I save it, that there is a call in the code somewhere to change the layout.
How do I stop it from changing to boxed?
