Okay, this is confusing the heck out of me, so I figured I'd post about it to see if there is an easy solution that I'm not seeing.

I have a logo on my site, as well as a set of primary links which via the Nice_Menus module, is quite expansive. I am using a custom color scheme of this, and the logo seems to be too large vertically in that the primary links are pushed to the right by the same amount of distance as the logo. I have been trying to set the height, padding and margins to make it work as it should, but I haven't found the correct one. Using my eye only, the logo should fit (first thing I did was trim the logo down to not have any additional extra space anywhere.

Attached is a screen shot. I have the name of the site in the logo as well so I could customize that as well in terms of colors and font.

I know it is the logo since this started when I added the logo in, and it goes back to normal if I take the logo out.

Hi Ninja,

Seems you forgot to upload the screenshot.

If the site is online a link to it would help.

Since you are using Nice Menus (I like the module too) you may need to adjust Nice Menus styles

Download the Web Developer (my fave) or Firebug plug in for Firefox to inspect the css objects and styles

add the styles to the Pixture theme stylesheet so they are not overwritten when you upgrade the module(s)

I have customized Nice Menus a great deal with css eg http://4m.netsperience.org the left menu is a NiceMenu displaying the secondary links menu

We bow down to thee, Overlord!

Sorry, the site is http://sa.travisnanek.com - I am planning on using a different theme for the primary (sky) but that doesn't seem to work with wide tables, such as my permissions page - so I am forced to use a different theme for the admin theme. As an admin theme, it isn't critical, but what can I say, I'm a perfectionist.

Using Firebug is how I started to approach the issue, but height is never set for that at all.

Attached is the screen shot. This site is no where near complete yet (as you could tell by the from the main page).

Try this:

remove the rowspan=2

    <td id="logo" valign=top rowspan=2>
      <a href="/" title="Home"><img src="/sites/sa.travisnanek.com/files/logo.png" alt="Home" /></a>  </td>

becomes

    <td id="logo" valign="top">
      <a href="/" title="Home"><img src="/sites/sa.travisnanek.com/files/logo.png" alt="Home" /></a>  </td>

then the primary links go under the black bar right above the navigation and login - not sure if that is what you want.

(notice I put the attribute valign="top" in quotes it is a good practice to quote all attributes)

from here, I would position them with nice_menus css

try setting margin-top for #nice-menu-0

#nice-menu-0 {margin-top: -50px;}

good luck!

One more thing - this is not really an issue with the theme - the theme maintainer is not responsible for contributed modules like nice_menus
This sort of question really belongs in the more general Post Installation forum http://drupal.org/forum/22 - next time!

Thanks, firebug shows me that that is a functional solution (and that is what I wanted).

The only editing of the file I had done was add some statements at the bottom for customizing the look of the nice-menus, so the quotes is an issue to be resolved in the actual release as well.

Yeah, sorry about that - I just have very little experience with themes in general, and I hadn't tested this one out with regular primary links prior to adding the nice_menu's primary links, so I couldn't be sure as to weather it was an issue with the theme or due to my editing of it for the nice_menu primary links.
