Whats your Plain Yoghurt customisations (customizations)
Permalink
Hi,
I'm new to C5 and I'm rather new to PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS etc. I want to build a site with C5, a portfolio of my business. I'm rather happy with the Plain Yogurt theme, but there are a few things I want to tweak. My question is how, what do I have to do?
This is what I want to tweak in the Plain Yogurt theme:
1. I want to put a strip of colour running right across the page below the header and one above the footer.
2. The site is a bit narrow. I want to widen it to full 960px.
3. There are dotted lines that divide certain areas. I don't need them and I want to bring areas closer to each other, especially the sidebar closer to the main content area.
4. There is a main menu with buttons surrounded with a border. I want to get rid of the border and perhaps customize the way these buttons are displayed.
5. I would like staggered content blocks in my other pages.
6. I would like or the instructions on how to do a page where the left hand menu stays static but as you click the options it changes the content on the page ( as onhttp://basecamphq.com/tour/#/save_time... ) if your a pro.
Can someone guide me and tell me what do I have to tweak, where, in what files. I think I can handle the CSS/HTML coding, but I'm not sure where to start.
All help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete.

If you don't know how to use HTML and CSS to make the page look the way you want, then the questions you're asking are going to be too hard for someone to explain in a forum post (it's basically asking someone to do your job for you -- this would take me at least a few hours to do for a client).
But if you can make the HTML/CSS work, then it will be easier to come back to the forum and get help because a question like "I have this CSS code, where do I put it so C5 recognizes it" only takes a minute to answer.
Good luck!
