Hello

I'd change two things in my template, to avoid changing every 5 minutes changes, we must use the override.css

but I do not know how!

here's what I'd do:

- Change the template part with a background color or image
Image


  the area below the menu
Image
- Change the menu by the latter

  a menu of this type
Image
thank you for your support, my template is the template from Gavick Sporter, version 2.5.6 joomla test site or is to modify the template here.

cordially

I succeeds in version 1.5 template http://www.modemradio.fr but I'm completely lost, that's why I need you.

thank you

override.css is a CSS file where you can include you custom CSS rules. Then you just need to enable 'Use override CSS' option under template advanced settings to see changes. The override.css file you will find in root/templates/template_name/css/override.css.

If you want to change the menu layout you need to merge this two templates but this is not so easy to copy one styles into another template. My advise is to use Firebug and step by step add custom styling to existing menu.

Templates for J!1.5 and J!2.5 are totally different in code structure. Please use Firebug tool to check code which you want to override.

I can ask you, because I already look with firebug and I do not see it or find it and what is the code to place in the file override.css to realize this?

To set background for template you need to use body tag, with code like below:

Code: Select all
body {background: #000 }


which change background color to black, the #000 value you can change to any you want to.
