I’ve been modifying a skin for my site. I would love to hear your thoughts on my colors and layout. Link in my sig.
Thanks.

I think it’s very nice and clean looking. I like the red color, since it goes along with idea of fires and hot coals. But the grey reminds me of ashes. The grey makes the overall scheme kind of somber or sad in mood. I wonder if a happier color instead of the grey would be more appealing…a color that suggests warmth and coziness.
I really think it looks very good though.

Thanks, Barry. I took care of that.

I think I agree about the grey. But I’m having a hard time figuring out what color will work, yet still be subtle.
EDIT: Going to post a few screen shot options in a bit.
Ignore the watermark in the background; this is a graphics software I’m testing.
Anyhow, attached is an idea for you.
Here are five quick options. Which do you like the best? I’m leaning toward option 5, which is still the same hue as before, just significantly lighter.
Thanks for taking the time to do that. I’m pretty far along and stuck with the red I have for now. Somehow I cant stand looking at light yellows and oranges for very long, though it is a nice looking system.

No problem. If you’re keeping the basic color scheme, lightening it up might help.
Good luck.
Here’s something I can’t figure out. See the background color is absent when there are no subcategories in the emenu?
Anyone know where to change this?

Reviewed dropdown.css?

It’s a simple question if you understand a bit of css.
Duh. No. That would be way too obvious.
Thank you!

It is the skin you are using I think? Note it is the background ONLY on the categories WITHOUT subcategories!!!
We noticed this on one of the skins we looked at, and it can be changed in the CSS.

Sorry meant to add it isn’t in all skins and it can be different colour too.
Well I am managing to gain some confidence poking around with the CSS. The firefox web-developer toolbar is a godsend, as is this forum.
I cannot for the life of me, however, figure out how to make my main top banner (“customer_area_logo.png”) align itself in the center. I feel like I’d be able to figure it out if I could just find the place where it’s left-side alignment is notated.
Ok. I have found in the styles.base.css where the image is told to float left. If I change to float right it goes to the right. But since there is no float center in CSS, as I have been learning, I did the following.
I removed the float: left;
and added in its place:
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
That accomplished nothing - it was still stuck to the left.

.logo-image {styles.css (line 464)
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}
You might want to call it a “hack” but it works in all major browsers 
You are THE MAN.
