SOLVED: Entry/sidebar border color change, moving of nav-links & highlighting subject lines

[denig37]

 Hi, I'm a total newbie to the CSS, but thanks to this comm I managed to customize almost everything I wanted...however there are 4 things I couldn't find anything about (searched the tags through).

1. If it's possible I want to change the color of the border-line between entries and the sidebar to #151B8D Solved!

2. I would like to move the nav-

1. It looks like you've already done this ...?

2. You can't do this with just CSS; you need a theme layer.

3. Have you tried adding to .asset-name {} something like background-color: xxxxxx; ?

4. You could do this:
#content { margin-top: 5px; }

Oh, thank you :-)

1. nope, it's still purple

2. oh, OK

3. could it be a bit wider and loger than the subject text so the text won't start where the highlighting starts and it's wider (and gets wider when the text is more than one row)

4. THANK YOU! :_D

For 1), a lot of these Expressive themes use a fixed width image for the border, which is why you can't change the color. This should do it:

.layout-wt #content-inner { background-image: none; }
#alpha { border-right: 1px solid #151B8D; }
#beta { width: 189px; }

3. You can't start the background any further to the left, but you could indent the text with some left padding in .asset-name. It should stretch if the subject text is more than one row.

1. Oh thank you thank you thank you *hugs* It's blue! :-D

3. THAT! Yeah...could you help me with that please? (no idea how to do that) and maybe something like moving the text a fex pixels from the bottom of the subject line if there's a way? (so under the white text is still a little bit blue)

Nav at the Bottom

This will work, I've tested it:

#page {border-bottom:30px solid black; }
#header {position:static }
.nav {position:absolute; bottom:-5px; left:20px}
