Default How to Change Header Color?

Hi,

I have been playing with my 68c design, changed colors, added a new logo and I managed to figure out how to change the center box color to white but by doing that it also changed my header background to white.

Can anyone offer a simple solution on how to change just the header background to black?

Also I've noticed that I can't seem to add a new logo longer than the one I have without it dropping down a line, is there a limit length on the logo image?

Your can find my site here: http://www.smartimesmagazine.com/classifieds/index.php

Thanks for your help.

Jonah,

Thanks for your help again.

That worked out great but it brought another problem out, now that the header background is black you can no longer see the login information in the top right corner because this is also black:

Welcome Smartimes Team
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 0

Is it possible to just change this text to white?

Also when ever I try to make my banner longer than it currently is (100x320) is seem to drop the banner down.

Is there a restriction on how long your header logo can be?

Yep you can change the text to white by targeting #top_info

#top_info, #top_info a { color: #fff; }

Try that.

There is no limit to the size of the logo as far as I know but since you have the dimensions explicitly set in your markup, you need to change this if your using a differently sized image. You can also set the dimensions through CSS like so:

#logo img { width: 328px; height: 100px }

Just make sure you take the dimensions out of your markup if you set the size through CSS because the markup will override the CSS.
