Logo area

[zorgers]

Hi all

Am new to actinic software, currently evaluating actinic business V8 which I am generally very happy with. Have a simple question that I hope someone out there may be able to help me with.

I am using the Technical theme and have placed our company logo on it, trouble is our logo is quite large and when i shrink it it doesnt quite look right. Am I able to increase the height of the area the logo sits in?

Appreciate any help given

Thanks

Scott

Yes - look at the design page and view the css class assigned to the logo, right click the css class name and choose lookup in actinic css.

make the changes you need and apply them.

Hi Bill, many thanks for your promp reply

Excuse my inexperience with antinic but could you elaborate further...

I am viewing the deign page and selected the logo. How do I view the css class?

Thanks Scott

It will be shown in the Layout Code window area.

Hi Bill

When I select the logo I see this in the code.....

<img
src="BrochureLogo"
width="BrochureLogoWidth"
height="BrochureLogoHeight"
alt="StoreName"
class="logoimage"

Can you suggest where I go from there??

Thanks Scott

Go to the Actinic stylesheet in Design View and look for
.tech_page_header_content
you will see a height there (probably 65) - that's what you need to change.

You may also need to change the table height as well in the line below this in the outer layout (Works Best with Technical):
<div class="tech_page_header_logo_container">
<table height="65" b....

Thanks for your help Duncan
Changed the height setting from 65 to 100. What this does is then place the logo lower down on the page but it is in the background (behind other sections such as the side navigation etc). What I wanted to achieve was larger area in the header. Think I'll have to play some more with it.

Did you change the '65' in the Actinic Stylesheet?

[zorgers]

I changed the 65 in the layout code once in design view, is that what you meant?

[Duncan Rounding]

Not only there. Also, in Design View select the Page Type drop down box (just above the preview pane) to be Actinic Stylesheet (it's quite far down the list).

Then in there find:
.tech_page_header_content
and change the value there from 65 to whatever you want it to be.

You really need to learn how to use the right click option to navigate the Actinic css file to make best progress with the file. It might take you a few clicks to select the right class at first, but once you are more familiar with css, it really is the quickest way of getting to the code that is in use.

Quite rightly so Bill - this is often overlooked - similarly with Variables.
