                    Pablo, you are using Black-Letterhead with Theme Toolkit. There are some embedded CSS code in function.php that overwrites your CSS changes in style.css. I suggest you look at function.php. Make the changes there.

                                Hi
                                What a great theme, thank you very much
                                2 questions:
                                1) I have 1.3 version, any enhancements in 1.4 and would lose any configurations if I upgrade?
                                2) How can I make single posts look like the index page (I mean 2 columns with a sidebar)
                                I am geek impaired and know nothing about scripts and codes

                                • At 2008.05.10 10:41, ulyssesr said:

                                  Firas,

                                  Yes, you will lose your changes if you upgrade to the new version. To make the single post like like the index page, you need to edit single.php. Change widecolumn to narrowcolumn and add get_sidebar() just above get_footer(). Check index.php, it has the right format.

                                    Thanks ulyssesr,
                                    It was done

                                    now one more question
                                    Is there any way that I can reduce the height of the header!

                                    • At 2008.05.12 21:46, ulyssesr said:

                                      Firas,

                                      You can change the header height to 100 or 150px. Look for this code in style.css.

                                      #header {
                                      height: 200px;
                                      }

                                        I did that, it doesn’t work
                                        The original code does not include height: 200px;
                                        there is only:
                                        #header {
                                        background-color: #000;
                                        }

                                          Firas,

                                          There should be another #header entry further down with height 200px.

                                            You did a good WordPress theme; simple, stylish and easy to read; which to me is the most important concern in a dark theme. Still, I would’ve love to change the font to a more console type (monospaced) and make the gray-white color of the text a little more white; alas, I cannot since I have the free service (No CSS editing). I guess what I’m trying to say is please consider these at the back your head for the next release (I know is menial), and thank you for it anyhow as it is already. BTW, it is implied, but for emphasis; Black-Letterhead’s the theme I used in my blog. I tried the Hemingway theme before, but the contrast was not high enough; either black or white.

                                              Love the template. I have a couple of questons.

                                              1. On most templates the header can be clicked on which sends the visitor to the front page, mine doesn’t. Is this on purpose or can I change that.

                                              2. When someone visits a post, say from a google search, it goes to the post but the sidebar is missing (and since #1 isn’t available they need to go to the web address bar and delete the page link up to the home page link to get out of the page – at least that is what I have to do.) Is there a way to change this.

                                              Thank you.

                                              Anthony

                                                Anthony,

                                                No problem. They are both easy to fix.

                                                1. Answer to #1

                                                2. Edit single.php. Change div class widecolumn to narrowcolumn. Add get_sidebar(); just above get_footer();. Use the same format. Don’t forget the php tags.

                                                  Hello Ulysse,

                                                  Love this theme very much. No wonder I use it. :-) Plus, I have a picture which matches the colour combination used in the theme. See how it looks.

                                                    I second mayor_lulzer, I’d love a whiter font too. Not out of aesthetics (it is already awesome, I’m in love with it), rather out of comfort reason (the higher the contrast, the better and the highest we could have is, imho, black-white).

                                                    Well, to tell you, I’m so in love with the result when I chose this header image that, for some time, I avoided posting another picture right below the header. lol
