Index + Exhibit

Where and how do I change the "info" and "main" titles of the menu?

Go to 'Settings' and put yourself in 'Advanced Mode' ON. Then, you will see the magic! ;)

how do you change the colour of the menu text, its ugly blue at the moment. is there a section i cant find where i can change it?

At present, there isn't a way to adjust formatting (colors, fonts, etc) from within the user/administration backend of Indexhibit. To adjust those, you must directly edit the CSS files on your server.

Using your FTP application, do the following:

1) locate the directory named 'sample'
ndxz-studio > site > sample

2) duplicate 'sample'

3) rename 'sample copy' to what you would like your new custom theme to be called

4) in the newly renamed folder, edit style.css to your liking

wow

thats way complicated

im a douche

not sure i can handle that

is it possible that someone who has created lots of different font styles and colours can upload them to my ftp if i give them my details?

is that a bad idea?

It's not a good idea. You should give it a try, you might find that you're more capable of it than you think. If you don't want to, you should specify what you want the site to look like, using Photoshop or Illustrator, and have someone code it for you in exchange for money or favors. You'll get the best results that way.

ok ceeb thanks for the feedback

Yes...try. I never would have created Indexhibit if I never tried, back in 2000, to do a little coding. CSS is not hard...and there are lots of examples in the forum where we talk about CSS. Just search...

I agree... you'll probably surprise yourself if you just give it a try. I don't know much about coding, but I'm not afraid to open those files and study the code... The font codes will stand out and you'll see how easy that is to change.

ok thanks for your help again.

firstly i dont know how to duplicate the sample file, im using filezilla how do you do that.

when i tried to edit the sample file i right clicked on the style.css file and selected 'view/edit' and filezilla said.

'cannot edit file, no default editor has been set or filetype association is missing or incorrect.'

what have i done wrong/ what do i need to do?

many thanks

Your webhost, in the control panel, provides a File Manager where you can lookup a file and edit it...if you totally screw it up it's ok...you can always start over.

Your file will be found at...

/ndxz-studio/site/sample/style.css

hi im in the file.

I want the text to be black when its not been clicked on.
i want in to turn pink when its been clicked on.

a:link { text-decoration: none; }
a:active { text-decoration: none; color: #000; }
a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #666; }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }

ive changed the active line to 000 but still it appears blue, am i in the right place, what am i doing wrong?

neil

ive managed to change the visited links to pink, but i still can't change the menu text from blue to black, please help.

neil

Adding color: #000; to the a:link declaration should do the trick.

a:link { text-decoration: none; color: #000; }

thanks worked nice. you know this bit.

a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }

is there any other option apart from underline?

id like to have a block around the word. is that possible?

many thanks

neil

sure, to do that you would use the background property. For example:

a:hover { text-decoration: none; background: #ff6600; }

you could then change the hex color from #ff6600 to one of your choosing.

hey thanks for the advice

cant get it to work at the mo.

heres what ive got

a:hover { text-decoration: none; background: color: #FF0099; }

is that right?

got it to work.

got rid of the word color.

thanks

this is really picky but is there anyway that when you hover over the text that background goes black and the text turns white. that would be sweet.

neil

yes...for the :hover....

background: #000; color: white;

awww sweet. that looks nice

thanks again vaska you're a ledgend.
