Hello,

If you want to adjust the template to your custom header image I would suggest you to choose the fluid version of the Red Metal template since the fixed one is developed for a certain width.

If you would like to resize your header image then you can change the width and height of the template's header from the class .doc_header located in the additional.css of the template.

Thank you!

Great forum style. We've been using it since the original release. We just completely changed our forums and I need to change the banner.jpg file to banner.gif for an animated header. Can you point me in the right direction?

Hello,

Go to Style Manager -> Red Metal -> Style Variable Editor. Locate the head_background stylevar and change the value of "Background Image".

I am a Novice on FTP , But am the only Admin with access, I have used it before with results, But i have uploaded the File( Unzipped) via FTP, then uploaded the XLM file via AdminCP / Styles.
But when i Chose RedMetal on the forum it seems None of the Images have Loaded.
Do i need to Re-name the File "images.RedMetal " as i have just left it as RedMetal when i loaded it.. I can see all the Images if i log in to my Server Files..

Any help Appreciated

Hello,

You should upload the folder "images" of the Red Metal zip on the root directory of your forum.

Check if the path "/root_directory_of_your_forum/images/Redmetal/" exists.

If it does, the Red Metal template is installed correctly.

Thank you.

Hello,

You should move the RedMetal folder into the images folder.

Thank you!

Thanks, it works great now,

I need to make a few adjustments though.

I need to change to colour for the
Welcome , Notifications , My Profile , Settings , Log Out

As those are White and i need them Black as our Header is White making these not showing,

Also the Footer Message needs to be White and NOT Black

And lastly the Outer Background frame needs to be Slimmer and it is squashing the page making the a Tab Button missing, If there is away to make the Backgroung border slimmer it should widen the page make everything OK..

I can post Screenshots if that helps explain it all..

Appreciate any help.. Thanks
