Theme development

Hi,

Followed the how-to create user bar at http://drupal.org/node/92657#comment-225038 and can't get it to look right.

Mine look like this: http://www.togmedia.com/userbar.gif

Followed to the letter but I must be missing something.

Any ideas?

hi y'all,

what's the fastest/easiest way to put my footer message (from site info) or the secondary link at the absolute bottom of the page -- yes, even below the footer-blocks.
for example, i created a block for google adsense placed at the bottom of the page; but, i want my fine prints to be placed below the google ad and all other footer blocks.

thanks,

I am trying to modify the Zen theme so that there is a background image on the blocks. One for the header, one for the content and one for footer. The effect is to have a shadowed block. I have looked through the CSS, while confident this can be done, I could not find a place to throw in the background images. Any ideas would be appreciated!

I'm relatively new to Drupal, and have been working on a new theme. However, I need to change some of the elements that are currently classified as h1 elements to h2 or h3. All of the titles are classified as h1, but I need them to have different styles. There's a main title, and a subtitle, but because of the way drupal works, they are all classified under h1. I've had to cheat and make the h1 style something and then the h1 a style something else (b/c all the node titles are links on my page), but that creates a problem for my theme because there should be a background behind the title of the node, and by styling the h1 a rather than the title itself, the background spans only the width of the title, not the width of the page as it does when the h1 is styled.

The "secondary" titles are actually the titles of the nodes, and the "main" title is under the div of "main." I've gone into the node.tpl.php and changed the h1 to an h2 in that, but it didn't change anything. I've also looked in a lot of the other .tpl.php files within my theme to see if it could be changed within those, but still no luck.

Hey,

I've been looking around for ANY info/code on how the colour picker was achived int he Garland theme but to no avail?!

Actually, this is a two part question:

1. How do you customise any themes "admin/build/themes/settings/
/" page, particularly create your own options here and make them available to the theme. Is there some hook(s) that lets you do this? Is there a tutorial?

2. How can any theme developer use the colour picker in their own theme, perhaps changing the number of colours that its used for to configure?

Hi,

Looking to try and get some links at the top of the content section in Garland (on 5.1) I've tried using blocks but that puts it below the news stories when I want it to stay at the top?

I'm led to believe Garland is tricky to deal with at the best of times,and my only experience of cssing is converting bluemarine (v simple).

How would I get a small bar of buttons at the top of the content / below the header? Ideas?
