Hello,
My siteis : http://www.storeyshop.co.uk and I would love some help on a couple of things I'd like to edit but can't work out..
1) I am editing the default theme and am stuck on how to stop the white rectangle behind my banner image from showing/overlapping the edge of my page on the left?
2) I'd like to lose the grey borders between my white page and my patterned background or make them thinner? I'd also like to make my white page be a closed-in rectangle with rounded corners rather than open at each end?
Any help appreciated. I am new to WP and coding but I am learning fast!
Thank you very much
1 - Lining up the overlapping white, increase left margin pixels in header
#header {
background-color: white;
margin: 0 0 0 10px;
padding: 0;
height: 120px;
width: 740px;
}
2 - To remove the grey borders, delete the embedded style
#page { background: url("http://www.storeyshop.co.uk/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
3 - To close the page to the top and create rounded corners, under
"Begin Structure"
#page {
background-color: white;
margin: 0 auto;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
padding: 0;
width: 760px;
border: 1px solid #959596;
}

Thank you so much for your help!
The only thing I can't find is where I go to delete the embedded style to lose the grey borders?
Check header.php of the Default theme, it's in there. :-)
Fair bit of styling is also handled in the functions.php file to...
If you are talking about the border on the right and left of the content area, that is part of the kubrickbgwide.jpg that makes up the content background in Kubrick. You'll need to edit that image to remove them. See it at the link below.

Figaro,
why editing the image? The entire embedded # page styling calling the image can be deleted, as there is already #page background white, with a 1px border. It did work, when I tested it...
If that works cool. I've never really dug into the css much...preferring to just edit the images. But, when I remove the page background in the past, it just filled with the gray background...I'm sure either process will work.
@figaro,
I see, maybe the way I did it works only on Firefox... just wondering, though there is a page background color set as well... never know. I find the Default theme css to be built in kind of a weird way. :-)
