Pixel Post Help Needed

[crazygeordiegirl]

Hi all,

I have recently downloaded and installed to a server pixel post however there is a few issues I wonder if someone could help me out with.

1) I have the 'horizon' theme set. For some reason it is putting a white border around my photos - how do I remove this?

2) How the hell do you install new themes? - I have downloaded themes, put them on the server and changed to that theme but its just bringing a white background up on the home page instead of the theme.
Im guessing its something simple im doing wrong but its drivin me mad!!

help! :bang:

Can't help on the second one - but for your first question - Horizon's standard behavoiur is a black background with a narrow white border around the photo - to change it I think you'd have to edit the horizon.css file in the ...\templates\horizon\styles\ directory. Could be wrong though - i've onl been playing with this for a few hours last night myself.

this seems to be the relevant bit...

/* MAIN PHOTO AREA */


#photobox {
background-color:#000;
padding-bottom:30px;
width:100%;
text-align:center;
}

#photo {
background:#FFF;
padding:10px;
border:none;
margin-bottom:10px;
}

change the background:#FFF; to match the background-color:#000 set in the section above, and the bounding box will dissapear.

Of course, there's probably some REAL expert who'll tell us a way to do it by flicking a software switch

Hmm, for themes, all I normally do is unzip the theme package into /templates/<theme name>. Make sure it's chmoded to 755 for each directory under it. There needs to be an image_template.html at least for the template to work.

Then go into admin and Options/Templates. Choose a theme and hit update.

What's under the theme directory of the one you are trying ?
