You made some standard in the themes incl. colors where you put the color css in the footer!

In my version it is not very “handsome” 😛 It looks great if not using the javascript.
But using this – the footer color box behind logo is to big.

In my opinion there are several choices:

1) I remove my javascript
2) using my own css for this part
3) not using the colorbox in the footer (standard for color theme)
4) In standard color using left or right pad and in same line with the java (like Carmens theme)

I prefer no 2. or 4
Which code do I put in my css in mytheme?
I can not find where you changed the background for the logo

I’m not sure I fully understand what you want to achieve.

1 – I assume you are referring to http://www.jaconelli.dk/webtrees ?

2 – There I see you use an image to give the background colour behind your javascript collection (http://www.jaconelli.dk/webtrees/themes/colors/my_images/footer.gif).

3 – Are you saying you want to also use that iin the footer area, which is above your javascripts?

if so, my first question would be “why do you use an image? Surely easier just to use css “backround: #d4ccaa” (I think that gives the same color as your image.)

If I’m on the wrong track completely, perhaps create an image showing what you want to achieve??
But I think your page looks even better if you simply remove your background image. Then the whole footer area has the same (pale green) background. Looks very good!

Yes Im referring to jaconelli.dk

I have searched for background color instead of image without luck. Thank you 🙂

If I remove the background from the java it still have the pale green. Which will be a big fat box in my footer (bc. it also contains my java). Try to look at your kiwitemp – here you have the colors following eachother. In color theme we have boxes in an empty background. Meaning I do not think it looks good at all with logo having the background color 😛

So I just want to edit my own css to make background behind logo as empty! Since this is my personal opinion I find it more correct if I remove it in my userstyle (mystyle.css) instead of changing standard!

as exampel I have uploaded Carmens way to do it – where she put copyright to the right and the java being in same place. Meaning the footer box still not as big as your version!

I actually disagree. I think the all green larger footer looks really good on your site. In terms of the size, look at the size of the footer on this kiwitrees.net site!

However, it is your site, not mine. 🙂

1 – Carmen’s footer. You could certainly do that. It would need a custom footer file, and a small change to your custom javascript, but not hard to do either.

2 – The simplest solution is your idea to “edit my own css to make background behind logo as empty“. Just add this code to your mystyle.css file:

#footer {
	background: none;
	border: 0;
}

The result should be like attached image.

Thank you Nigel! 🙂

One of the reasons I love the way you made the ability to add our own designs 🙂 It is very simple if I just know the code 🙂

Now I am happy 🙂

Have a great weekend 🙂
