    That is not as simple as it sounds. It is easy to adjust a little CSS to increase the size of the box for your logo but sometimes depending on the size and shape of your logo moving other elements is required. If you could post a link to your site with the logo in place but still too small we can give you the CSS modification required.

    Just to assist my esteemed colleague, Phil, a bit further …. it will also be helpful if you set “Optimize CSS” to “No” within your Template Manager–General settings (temporarily, of course, while Phil further assists you), as well as advise as to the size dimensions of the custom logo you have designed – perhaps even attaching the image here.

    (sorry to butt in, Phil … just thought those extra elements/info might help a bit as well) 😎

    thank you both of you.

    site is: balisonghispano.com

    logo is: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3529/logogris.jpg

    this is the full size, obviously needles to say it will be resized for the site. ideally, i would like it to stretch all over the site, and by that i mean, the size of the content, without the margins on both sides. in other words, 1420px.

    but for that, there would be to have more space, in height, between the top and the content.

    Then re size the logo which is compatible with your site and replace it.all are in the template folder.use firebug or inspect element to check the css file if needed.

    Thanks

    Is there any way you can throw together a mock-up image of what you are envisioning as to how you are wanting the logo to look relative to your site layout/design?

    Have you switched templates since I looked yesterday?

    You are aware that Mixmaz is a responsive template therefore you would loose that to some extent with a wide and fixed width logo such as the one yuou are proposing. I think you may be better off with a nice background image then a smaller text element for the site name. This way you would be able to keep a nice responsive site.

    Hello Docpariolo,

    In order to change the logo size, please go to: <blockquote>templatesja_mixmazcsstemplate.css</blockquote>
    Find these lines:

    /* Logo Image ---*/
    h1.logo {
    height: 74px;
    width: 178px;

    }

    h1.logo a {
    background: url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat left; >> change to your logo URL
    display: block;
    height: 74px;
    width: 178px;

    }

    Change value of height and width to fit with the size of new logo.

    Since you used theme dark_brown then go to this file to change logo URL: <blockquote>templates/ja_mixmaz/themes/dark_brown/css/template.css</blockquote>
    Find these lines:

    h1.logo a {
    background-image: url("../images/logo.png"); >> change to your logo URL
    }

    The logo as you provided is too big, please resize it, it should stay below 80 pixels in height and below 150 pixels in width. There’s no rule for it, choose the size of logo as you wish.

    But above solution only for default screen, for other screens, if you want to change the logo to match with them, go to each CSS file defined for that screen: layout-mobile.css, layout-tablet.css and add:

    /* Logo Image ---*/
    h1.logo {
    height: logo_heightpx;
    width: logo_widthpx;
    }

    h1.logo a {
    background: url(logo_url) [/B]no-repeat left;
    display: block;
    height: logo_heightpx;
    width: logo_widthpx;
    }

    For mobile logo, go to <blockquote>templates/ja_mixmaz/css/layout-mobile-port.css</blockquote>
    Find these lines:

    #ja-header h1.logo {
    background: url("../images/pattern-red.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    height: 57px;
    margin: 0;
    width: 100%;
    }
    #ja-header h1.logo a {
    background-image: url("../images/logo-mobile.png");
    background-position: center center;
    height: 57px;
    width: 100%;
    }

    change to:

    #ja-header h1.logo {
    background: url("../images/pattern-red.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    height: logo_heightpx;
    margin: 0;
    width: 100%;
    }
    #ja-header h1.logo a {
    background-image: url("logo_url");
    background-position: center center;
    height: logo_heightpx;
    width: 100%;
    }

    hello,
    sorry for the delay.

    yes i did change template, i had another issue with it: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/messed-up-images-layout-on-articles-on-frontpage/ and i prefered mixmaz over it, plus it “fixed” that error i had.

    thank you for the code, ill get into it right now.

    okay..

    many things:

    successfully changed logo. but: and lets do this step by step.

    i want the overall template width to be increased. why? because with the font family ive chosen, and increased font size, theres a problem. if i choose multi column set up articles for my frontpage, which i want.. text on the left and right will be “bitten” by the margins! just by a character or so, yet, unforgivable.

    so we gotta do that first, increase the width of the whole template. lets say by 30 pixels. so i can increase one more nod on the font size, i find it still a little bit tiny.

    second of all.. the logo. you asked me for a mock up design, here it is

    i would like the logo to stretch all over the (new) width of the template. ill get the logo re done for the width of the new template. height would be around 250.

    also, i noticed, and i dont know why, the logo placeholder starts on the left very early, not at the same level as the content table below. i would like to be changed. both on the same lvl, like in my drawing.

    thank you.

    heres what i mean by the way with the “bitten” text. whats actually bitten is not the article, but the text from a social plugin.

    and even if there was a fix for that, cutting the margin preventing this, i still want the template larger. i could use more space, above all, on the right menu. it feels way too tight.

    So you are using JA Mixmaz template, right? You can increase the width of this template by opening file: /templates/ja_mixmaz/css/template.css, add this css rule:


    body.bd .main {
    width: 1020px; <<< change to your desired value
    }

    Clean JAT3 cache.

    Regards
