I really don't see what that has to do with creating a style, if you need help with any of those things you will have to ask in the appropriate forum!

I will, I was just telling Steve how far I had got, he said he's going to help me with rounding the corners, then the style is pretty much done......

rounded corners the easy way
open styles/your style/template overall_header.html
find:
add after:
Code: Select all
<div class="inner"><span class="corners-topb"><span></span></span>
open styles/your style/template overall_footer.html
find:
Code: Select all
<div>
<a id="bottom" name="bottom" accesskey="z"></a>
Code: Select all
<span class="corners-bottomb"><span></span></span></div>
open styles/your style/theme/colours.css
find:
Code: Select all
span.corners-bottom span {
background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/corners_right.png");
}
add after:
Code: Select all
/*--- bigger corners --*/
span.corners-topb {
background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/corners_leftb.png");
}
span.corners-topb span {
background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/corners_rightb.png");
}
span.corners-bottomb {
background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/corners_leftb.png");
}
span.corners-bottomb span {
background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/corners_rightb.png");
}
open styles/your style/theme/common.css
find:
Code: Select all
.rules span.corners-top {
margin: 0 -10px 5px -10px;
}
.rules span.corners-bottom {
margin: 5px -10px 0 -10px;
}
add after:
Code: Select all
/*--- bigger corners --*/
span.corners-topb, span.corners-bottomb, span.corners-topb span, span.corners-bottomb span {
font-size: 1px;
line-height: 1px;
display: block;
height: 10px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
span.corners-topb {
background-image: none;
background-position: 0 0;
margin: 0 -21px;
}
span.corners-topb span {
background-image: none;
background-position: 100% 0;
}
span.corners-bottomb {
background-image: none;
background-position: 0 100%;
margin: 0 -21px;
clear: both;
}
span.corners-bottomb span {
background-image: none;
background-position: 100% 100%;
}

yes I did, the corners are still square....
this may sound daft, but when it say 'find' and then 'add after' does it mean add after the code that has been found and is it suppose to be on the same line or on a new one?
*edit:
I changed the logo last night.....

I've tried it about 15 times, its still not working, I'm so sorry to be a pain.....
Am I doing properly
For example when it says:
find:
add after:
Code: Select all
<div class="inner"><span class="corners-topb"><span></span></span>
When its done should it look like this?:
Code: Select all
<div id="wrap">
<div class="inner"><span class="corners-topb"><span></span></span>
Because that's how I've been doing it and I also added the images, thinking that's where I went wrong, but the corners are still square....
I've been editing in 'wordpad' is that the problem?
Thank you for your patience.

That edits correct ,be sure the images for round corners are in your style/theme/images folder.
Be sure you are refreshing the template and theme.
