# Theme Switcher CSS annoyance

 * For whatever reason I don’t know why using li is the only way to bring up the
   bullet.gif image, which is why I have it as the background for li. Removing it
   gets rid of all bullets.
 * However in Theme Switcher the use of li within ul means that the bullet shows
   up at the top of the theme
 * Below is the code and the Meadow theme can be viewed at: [http://wordpress.sekhu.net](http://wordpress.sekhu.net)
   and select meadow. The reason it doens’t show up in Don’t Panic! is because I
   used a transparent gif so I suppose I could use a transparent gif in this case,
   replace the black bullet with a green one of the background colour and that might
   work – but I shouldn’t have to do this really, should I?
 * Help!
    ` li { list-style-type: none; padding-left: 15px; background: url('images/
   bullet.gif') no-repeat 0 50%; }
 * li li {
    list-style: none; padding-left: 15px; background: url('images/bullet.
   gif') no-repeat 0 50%; }
 *  ol {
    list-style-type: none;
 * }
 * ol ol {
    list-style: none; padding-left: 15px; background: url('images/bullet.
   gif') no-repeat; }
 * ul {
    list-style: none; }
 * ul ul {
    list-style: none; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 5px; background:
   url('images/bullet.gif') no-repeat; }
 * ul li li ul {
    list-style: none; padding-left: 15px; background: url('images/
   bullet.gif') no-repeat; }
 * ol li li ol {
    list-style: none; padding-left: 15px; background: url('images/
   bullet.gif') no-repeat; }
 * Code is as above, thanks in advance.

 * Just put in ul in front opening and a closing ul tag and that will remove the
   bullet for the theme switcher
 * Not in your css but your html/sidebar.php
 * Like this
 * `<?php if (function_exists('wp_theme_switcher')) { ?>
    <ul> <li><h2><?php _e('
   Themes'); ?></h2> <?php wp_theme_switcher('dropdown'); ?> </li> </ul>

 * I don’t have a sidebar, this is the function I used for the theme switcher as
   outlined by Alex:
 * `<div id="themeswitch"><?php if (function_exists('wp_theme_switcher')) wp_theme_switcher('
   dropdown'); ?></div>
 * Of course I added the div myself for alignment purposes. I placed that in my 
   header.php as it’s a single clumn theme without a sidebar
 * Suggestions?

 * Did not realize yours was like that but I would just try to place the `<ul><li
   ></li></ul>` in that code or even in your div id themeswitch use corresponding
   css like list-style: none; for ul li et cetera
