I would like to increase the color contrast of the homepage, and have attached a mock image of what I’m trying to achieve (see link below).

As you can see, I would like to achieve the following:

1. Black background on either side of content area
2. Dark gray background for the JA News Pro (headline theme) and JA Tabs 2 modules
3. Light gray border around the JA News Pro (headline theme) to give it definition
4. Cellpadding around image in JA News Pro (headline theme)

Additionally (but not shown in image) I would also like

5. The font and text color in to be white in the JA News Pro module (headline theme)
6. Delete the white space in between date and logo
7. Delete blue bar beneath the top level menu
8. Delete white space beneath the blue bar in point 7.

(Link edited out 27.11.11 due to lack of ongoing support)

I would appreciate detailed information on how to go about implementing these changes.

Many thanks in advance.

Greetings . . . That is quite a list of customization requests.

Are you familiar with working with CSS for making the kind of modifications you are wanting to achieve above?

Hi TomC

I have been tweaking CSS for years now, so feel comfortable with what I need to get done if the tweaks are small. But I would need clear details in order to make the changes above.

If you feel that the changes outlined are too advanced for me or too much to ask in a forum – then would be happy to consider sourcing a freelancer to make the changes. However, I would prefer to use someone who is familiar with the template if you have recommendations.

Hi Chavan

What do you mean you are waiting for admin panel details?

The last request I had from you was “I need the template manager access”, and so I made you a Super Administrator about an hour after you asked. Is there something else I need to do?

Cheers

Hi Chavan

I apologise for having not replied sooner but I did not get an email notice saying there was a new post in this thread. I will make the changes later today, and let you know how I go.

Thanks again…

check your site Now, It reflects now.

Have you done all the changes said by me?

Since the site gets a little collapsed. Please check my previous post. If not Post your ftp details I will fix it for you.

Please advice.

Hi Chavan

Yes, I have done all the changes you asked me to.

I cleared the cache (and purged) so hopefully you can see them now.

I will send you some FTP access details if that helps make things easier. But I don’t mind doing the changes myself.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Diatribe….
