Hi,

Some questions regarding your problem. Are you using a (free) template from the marketplace? If so, which one? Changing header or background images has very little to do with actual css other than maybe just changing a file name which you are referring to. To change these images I suggest you find the folder containing the theme's images inside your theme folder. It's usually named "images". Find the old images and replace it with your new ones.
And what do you mean by menu options?

PS: The link you provided does not work, please update it.

and im trying to switch the header image with th eone i have...but i dont know which file to open to make the ncessary change...


what i mean by the menu options is the "home..about..bah blah"

they all seem to be allined to the right ..and if try to make a new one....i get a vertical menu bar instead of a horizontal one....
i use the "autonav" addon to create my menus.

Please be sure to check out the editor's guide that is available on the Concrete5 website first. For example, the use of the Auto-nav block is extensively discussed.

Further more, with very little knowledge on html, css, php etc. it will be hard to get good results. You might want to consider asking developers on the C5 to help you out with your website, if there is a budget that allows you to. I can't answer you're question right now because I don't know what you mean exactly.

Hi balls055,

It sounds like you're working with Green Salad, which is one of the core themes. When you modify a core theme, you should copy it into the proper overrides directory, give it a new name, and modify the new copy. This will ensure you don't lose any changes if you upgrade, or something breaks your site in the future.

Check out this how-to article I put together:

http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/editors/customize-a-...

Yes, you will need to modify your theme's css files in order to change the background and header images. I would recommend you read through some introductory articles at a site likehttp://w3schools.com/ before getting started.

Hope that helps get you on the right track!
