Hi,

JA Pyrite is beautiful but there is one feature I don’t like in its layout – capitalised first character in articles.

How to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

I’m not familiar with that template itself, so I will answer with the assumption that there is not a plpace to turn off the dropcap in the backend.

If so, try this:

typo.css
Line 63

Where it says:
display: block;

Change to:
display: none;

EDIT: You know, I think that might get rid of the letter altogether. You might want to check your plugins and see if there is one added that creates the dropcap and disable it.

Thanks professor for advice.

Finaly I didn’t remove them but I made them smaller (40px) and I like them this way 🙂

You’re welcome! Personally, I think the dropcaps look good. I agree that smaller may be better…Joomlart has a tendency sometimes to make things too big. Ie…I find that often their main nav bars are way too thick. If a website is content rich, taking up an inch of space with a navigation bar is no good. Same goes with the dropcaps…sometimes you don’t want them to be a focal point of your entire site!

Well I just keep trying and find a fix for it

really easy

In the folder CSS look for the file typo.css
open and edit in notepad or other text editor.

Look around line 63

and from this code:

/* Dropcap */
.dropcap {
display: Block;
float: left;
font: 60px/58px Georgia, Times, serif;
padding: 0 10px 0 0;
}

I changed to this:

/* Dropcap */
.dropcap {
display: small;
float: left;
font: 100% Georgia, Times, serif;
padding: 0 0px 0 0;
}

Not really sure about all the changes but for my website its looks really normal now. The padding part were keeping the letter away for the rest so i changed to 0 and the change from block to small not really sure but worked without problems

Tkank you prensa,

I did it some time before changing lines you mentioned to
<blockquote>/* Dropcap */
.dropcap {
display: block;
float: left;
font: 40px/40px Georgia, Times, serif;
padding: 0 5px 0 0;
}</blockquote>
It looks much better now compared to oryginal settings.

You can have a look at my site http://www.famous-equotes.com

I don’t get you professor :confused:

You suggested me this solution 10 days ago and I did exactly the same. Moreover I acknowledged your hint as working for me..

Prensa’s answer is correct but what’s so excellent in it? Quotations?
