[resolved] [Twenty Eleven] Borders around menu (9 posts)

    Hello there,

    I have created a child theme of Twenty Eleven theme and I have customized the menu like this: http://i53.tinypic.com/2yu0en4.png (a border appears around the current page) and when I hover on another page it looks like this: http://i51.tinypic.com/s2bt06.png.

    As you all may have noticed, the border is too big. What should I do in order to bring the border closer to the word like this: http://i56.tinypic.com/33k9bon.png?

    Thank you.

    That will probably be padding on the list item tag. Can you provide a link displaying the problem and then I could take a look at the CSS.

    Remove the line height and reduce the second value for padding on:

    #access a {
        color: #1E598E;
        display: block;
        line-height: 4.333em;
        padding: 0 1.2125em;
        text-decoration: none;
    }

    in your child's stylesheet.

    Thank you Esmi!
    The border on top is pretty high, though.
    Any chance to fix that, too?

    The line-height in the parent's CSS is now kicking in. Try adding line-height:2em; back into #access a.

    Hello again!

    One last thing I just noticed. For example take a look at this single post: http://blog.elemedu.gr/2011/07/google-plus-or-google-minus/

    When you hover on the menu, the date the post published and the navigation (next/previous) go a little lower. When you don't, they come back to normal height.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.
