Questions & Answers:

[Q] I want to change the logo - how do I do that because it's not like normal styles... I tried changing the titleimage but that did not work?
[A] Ok that's simple, to explain the logo is used as a background in the css, so it can't be changed like normal styles (editing the titleimage stylevar) because I wanted it to be perfectly centered follow? The only way I could do that and guarantee it was always centered from left to right was to do it as a background: url(image location blah blah) in the css so the css that defines the logo is within additional.css but the titleimage stylevar is what holds the logocover.png file.

How to?!? "Mike shush just tell us now how to change it!" Ok ok fine lol here's the gist of it:

• The logo is "logo.png" located in the folder /images/avenger/misc/ so look for it there.
• The logo has a transparent cover over it (helps prevent others from copying your logo) and its also within the same folder i.e. /images/avenger/misc/ and the name is "logocover.png".
• All you need to do is make your new logo and name it "logo.png" (ensure it's a transparent background .png filetype). If the size differs (width and height in pixels) then also make a new transparent "logocover.png" the same size as your new logo, now upload both - Your new logo will show AND the full size of the logo is now clickable because you also replaced logocover.png .

Very sleek Can the logo and the statusicons be changed easily?

Thanks! Sure they can, you can do the normal "View image OR View Image Location" in your browser and it will show you the image name and location, now simply (make the new logo or statusicon and name it the same) drop your new image whether that's a logo or statusicon over the old file and since they're named the same it will overwrite the old file .

This should be a 100% completed style, if however you fins anything "off" simply post and I'll sort it asap but it's on quite a few sites already with no errors reported.

*IF however you meant by this:

THAT is it this like some of my other styles from the past? Then it is yet I made the logo clickable on this one since others always asked how to change that in my other styles in the past so went back to the norm this time respectively.

*Please note though that this style is still similar to my past ones where the logo, while its clickable now has a transparent cover over it so if you make a new logo it is located in this folder /images/avenger/misc/logo.png <-- the filename for the logo is "logo.png" and the transparent cover is "logocover.png" so be sure to make a new "logocover.png" as well , the same size as the new logo.
^ So to sum it up, don't let the above explanation blow your mind simply say "Ohh ok so if I make a new logo and it's 200 x 150 pixels, I need to redo the transparent "logocover.png" to be a transparent blank .png image the same size as the logo 200x150px - Ok I got it now" .

Edit: Dave I added clearer intructions on how to change the logo in the 2nd post .

There is no branding link showing on this style.

Also, I would only suggest that articles on the cms be in a wrapper of sorts. Maybe just a 1 px line?

You checking the right style? I just uploaded the copies from here fixed and fluid, they both show it but mums the word on that not up for discussion please PM me regarding that .

Hmm the cms was done that way for a reason I know I had ran into issues w/ how the articles displayed on the main cms page versus subsequent pages due to some templates using shared css so I might do something with it or not haven't decided yet honestly.

I've noticed that the style is offset to one side. How may I correct that?
