replacing cc logo

[Guest Zev]

Hi,

Still haven't figured out how to change the cc logo in the killer skin

KILLER

In the Killer skin, the logo is part of an image called topHeader.gif, size 165 X 96 px, located in skins/Killer/styleImages/backgrounds/topHeader.gif

Example:

The logo image is referenced in layout.css at #topHeader, located in skins/Killer/styleSheets/layout.css

CODE

#topHeader {

text-align: right;

height: 100px;

background-image: url(../styleImages/backgrounds/topHeader.gif);

background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

i tried but it doesn't work?

do i have to insert a code somewhere ? and if so where do i do so?

anyone please

Find the "topHeader.gif":

/skins/Killer/styleImages/backgrounds/

(I assume you can FTP into the site?)

Download topHeader.gif and edit in your graphics program. Keep the same size (otherwise you'll have to change some code). Upload over the top of the old "topHeader.gif".

Then, visit your site, you may have to re-load the page (CTRL-F5 or just F5), and your new logo should appear...

If this doesn't work, post back

Hope this helps,

Jason

Hi Zev,

To edit the logo size, you need to edit the layout.css file (as the instructions above)

At the moment, you'll find something like this:

#topHeader {

	text-align: right;

	height: 100px;

	background-image: url(../styleImages/backgrounds/topHeader.gif);

	background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

Ok...  The width is fairly unimportant, but the height does need to be specified.

The image is actually a background image, so if you don't set the height correctly, the store will be laid over the top of your logo.



The height is expressed in pixels - the CC logo is 100 pixels high.



If your new logo is 145 pixels high, change height to read;

#topHeader {

	text-align: right;

	height: 145px;

	background-image: url(../styleImages/backgrounds/topHeader.gif);

	background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

Hope this helps,

Jason

Hi Zev,

please re-read your post of today @ 4.03pm - all the info is there.

You'll need to FTP into the site, and download the following file:

/skins/Killer/styleSheets/layout.css

Edit on your PC (as my last post) and upload via FTP, overwriting the original file.

Let us know how you get on,

Jason

Yes - its a text file, notepad is fine.

Change the height as previously mentioned, and save the file. Upload to your server, refresh your browser and you should be done.
