For me the opposite happens. The toolbar overlaps the top of the page, thus cutting off a little bit of the header.

OS: Debian GNU/Linux

Do you use customized _html_header.inc.php with your skin?
If you do, add this code there

<?php

// ---------------------------- TOOLBAR INCLUDED HERE ----------------------------
require $skins_path.'_toolbar.inc.php';
// ------------------------------- END OF TOOLBAR --------------------------------

echo "\n";
if( is_logged_in() )
{
	echo '<div id="skin_wrapper" class="skin_wrapper_loggedin">';
}
else
{
	echo '<div id="skin_wrapper" class="skin_wrapper_anonymous">';
}
echo "\n";
?>
<!-- Start of skin_wrapper -->

My b2evolution Version: 2.x

I'm trying to shrink down the black header section or area on top of this skin.

http://skindemo.b2evolution.net/2/index.php?tempskin=pixelgreen

I can't find the section where to edit the header black section height.

Does anybody know who submitted this skin so I can ask him how to make the black section narrower?

Hi, edit the bg image found in the #wrap div
http://skindemo.b2evolution.net/2/skins/pixelgreen/img/bg.jpg

from styles.css

#wrap {
margin: 0; padding: 5px;
font: normal 73%/1.5em 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif;
color: #555;
background: #FFF url('img/bg.jpg') repeat-x;
text-align: center;
}

thanks Sam.

I am not using a custom header... and when I applied your code, it didn't make any change.

Are you using a regular 2.4.0 skin or your own?
If you're using your own skin you should upgrade it.

Some features were added to skins in 2.4.0. Just look at the source skin files and apply the differences to yours.

You can find all changes here http://evocms.cvs.sourceforge.net/evocms/b2evolution/blogs/skins/

Hi John,

I actually removed this line:
background: #FFF url('img/bg.jpg') repeat-x;

but even then, I still get the same bar height.

any ideas?

I am using pixelgreen (it's a different site). Now I do notice that the skins work perfectly on my laptop with explorer 7... but my desktop still uses explorer 6. Is the toolbar not compatible with explorer 6?

Check security settings in IE. Javascript should be allowed.

@harishankar: I confirm your observation.

This is no(t) (longer) a bug, so I move this topic from the bug section to CSS

yes, javascript is enabled.

thanks for moving the topic.

I should also mention that I get this problem with ALL the skins.

Got mine fix.

I needed to resize bg.jpg as John suggested. I didn't realize that 1/2 of bg.jpg was white :-)

I also needed to edit the height of my overall header

/* header */
#header {
height: 35px;
}

Looking good now.

Note: any spacing problems with the toolbar should be solved by adding CSS styles for one or several of these styles:

div#skin_wrapper

div.skin_wrapper_loggedin

div.skin_wrapper_anonymous

Furthermore, any backgrounds and global styles shoulbe applied to

div#skin_wrapper

You should NEVER try to style BODY directly!

Doing so will only create side effects and extra headaches for you.

JUST MOVE YOUR STYLES FROM body TO div#skin_wrapper

I just started using this skin, and all of my smilies have borders on them - it must be a code for all graphics to have borders. I am going to start to look for the code, but I am new at this...I see a ton of border code, but none seem to be for pictures???

If anyone can help me out in the meantime...??

Well, as soon as I wrote that, I found

/* images */
.bText img {
	border: 1px solid #DADADA;
	padding: 5px;
	background: #FAFAFA;

And changedf the 1px to 0px but it still shows up faintly. I then tried changing the DADADA to FFFFFF and that didn't work. I then tried changing the background to FFFFFF as well and that didn't work.

So I am stumped.

Ugh. I reloaded the page and that didn't work, but once I closed the page and reopened the page, THEN it worked.

I'm using B2 2.4.2
skin Custom

is this possible to move the toolbar when logged in,
to the bottom of the page ? so i can still see my dhtml menu
even when working on editing etc...

thanks for reading :)

simply open up your ..../rsc/css/basic.css and replace

div#evo_toolbar {
	background-color: ThreeDFace;
	color: ButtonText;
	border-top: 1px solid ThreeDHighlight;
	border-bottom: 1px solid ThreeDShadow;
	text-align: left;
	margin: 0;
	/* font: menu; /* -- poorly supported */
	font-size: 11px;
	font-family: "Microsoft sans serif", sans-serif, Arial, Helvetica;

	position: fixed;
	z-index: 99;
	left: 0px;
	bottom: 0px;

}

all we did was changing top:0px to bottom:0px..

Note: i d like to tell you :"add this {div#evo_toolbar { bottom: 0px;} ,that's it" but it 's not.. cause top: value is not disposable..

beware that this will effect 'all' of your skins.. if you dont want it that way;

1.copy that .../rsc/css/basic.css file into your ../skin/myskin folder and once again open up your style .css and replace

@import url("../../rsc/css/basic.css"); /* Import basic styles */
with
@import url("basic.css"); /* Import basic styles */

I guess I will stir this thread up again. Looks like it has been a while since it has been tickled.

I have a little situation with my daughters blog, I have been neglecting for a while now. Thought I would take a shot at it today, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.

This is a pixelgreen skin

When you click on Archives, Categories, and Latest comments there is a transparent background, Just don't seem to be able to locate where to change it to white.

Also over the sidebar box where is says Dogs with Accessories I am trying to ether change the font to white or put a white background behind that also.

If you have any guidance it would be more than appreciated and thank you all for your efforts.
