Support » Themes and Templates » Need help w./ ‘Freshy’ theme and have made a mock-up of the changes to be made

  • Hi there,

    I need to customize my website which uses the Freshy theme (http://themes.wordpress.net/?s=freshy)

    It currently looks like this: http://tierzerodivision.com/wp/

    I have outlined the changes I want made to it with this “graphical representation” (a screenshot): http://tierzerodivision.com/changes.jpg
    (This is just a quick mock-up I did. It has lost some image quality in the change from .bmp to .jpg)

    As you will probably notice, the main difference between the default Freshy theme and “changes.jpg” is the menu bar. I would like to go with this much more minimalistic look which is hopefully an easy change to make.

    The other changes are minor and less important. I have circled those in red and numbered them. (anyone who chooses to help me with this does not have to make these changes if it is too much work)

    1. The faint light grey bar (barely visible) that seems to be there for no real reason: I would like it removed so the posts start below the menu bar.

    2. The horizontal-striped bars that act as a background for “Categories,” “On-going Series,” etc.: I would like that to just be solid-coloured instead of striped.

    3. The (rss?) arrows: I would like them removed ..but I would like the links to remain lined up the way they are (the same distance from the image (of the guy holding beer) as the links under categories, not the links under “on-going series.)

    4. The current Date format: I would like it removed and just changed to regular text below the title of a post.
    Example:

    Tier Zero Mix: #1
    January 17th, 2008 (date in smaller, lighter font than title)”

    And there you have it. If someone would give me the new code to make this happen and tell me exactly which portion of the existing code to replace – and on which .php file within the “Freshy” directory – I would *greatly* appreciate it. I would even pay you whatever you think is fair over paypal <b>if</b> you want?

    Either way, thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.

    Again, here is a link to the freshy theme: http://themes.wordpress.net/?s=freshy

    looks like for #2 if I edit this part of style.css I can solve that problem…

    “#sidebar h2 {
    background:#6a6765 url(images/stripe_gray-large.gif);
    padding: 8px;
    margin:10px 0 10px 0;
    font-size: 1em;
    font-weight:normal;
    text-transform:uppercase;
    color:darkgray;
    /* border-bottom:3px solid darkgray;*/
    }”

    i just have to change strip-gray-large.gif I guess?

    …1 down, 4 to go.

    okay what I said here doesn’t really apply any more: “It currently looks like this: http://tierzerodivision.com/wp/&#8221; …

    i’ve made some progress just messing around with the code and the little menu images (gif files) so it now looks pretty close to what i’m aiming for except with some bugs I can’t figure out yet…………. (when you hover over the menu bar it’s all messed up)

    helpppppp =(

    i’ve basically figured out the whole menu bar thing…basically all I had to do was change the height of it from 80 pixels to 40 pixels and edit each menu_*_*.gif very carefully until I got the desired result. i’m almost done with that part…

    can anyone help me with ANY of my other questions? (1, 2, 3 and 4?)
