silly questions...

I just downloaded/installed 'Shine', and trying to customize for my LJ.
Having some problems though:
~ How do I delete the television and film boxes? I tried doing it in the advanced theme console, but got some error messages and it didnt work.~ How do I edit the links @ the left side with my own (and maybe add sub-heads

2. You edit the links using this:

3. Open your theme layer. Find this:

###################################

#    SQUARE COMPS ON BOTH SIDES   #

# kunzite1, component-help/589908 #

# overrides page_layout(Page p)   #

###################################

###  Putting Components on Both Sides.

#  First we start with the "editting the page layout" code.

function page_layout(Page p) {

# Set this to the width that you want both the navbar (if it exists) and the whole journal to be

# may be percentage (70%) or number of pixels (700px).

var string k1Swidth      = "763px";

var string k1Sheader_url = "http://www.yourimagehost.com/bjshineimg1.jpg"; # optional header image url

var string k1Sheader_alt = "$p.journal.username [at] livejournal [dot] com"; # optional header image alt text
And replace the bolded area with the url to the header

Turns out I was searching for the header using the wrong search string. Thought I had to edit the links in the theme layer. whoops. >_< Makes sense now. :)

Thanks so much!

sorry...just 2 more questions (after tweaking the code a bit) *ducks* -_-

is there a way to legnthen the part in the layout where the entries are? noticing photos are getting cut off, but theres no 'bar' @ the bottom to move within the entry.

is it possible to change the cursor to the one used on this page (on the mouseover)...

thanks again! *goes back to her corner for asking so many questions*

That could be a browser issue. I use Internet Explorer.

I'm not really familar with how custom cursors work. It's possible, I've seen it before. But, I did find this tutorial from pamelajoy.
