Okay, really simple questions but it's a bit late and I can't figure out the answers ( Read more... )

Side borders-- the guitar.css file has:
#container-inner {
border-left: 1px solid #fff;
border-right: 1px solid #fff;
}You can either replace both of those lines with border: none; to remove the borders, or restyle them some other way. The pale double blue lines are in .widget-header's top border. So, if I understand you correctly, you want to remove those and instead have your borders below the sidebar widgets. Take out the two entries you have for the links widget and add these lines:
.widget-header{
border-top: none;
}
.widget {
border-bottom: 1px solid #683c39;
}There are more than enough posts under the entries:divider tag to help with styling a separator.

Thank you so much! Coding is something I just don't understand. I couldn't find those pieces of code in my layer, so I've placed them in the custom CSS box, will that cause any future clashes?

Out of curiosity- its given me a double line under the last sidebar entry; I quite like it, but was just wondering if you knew why it did that?

If those codes weren't in your theme layer before (probably in a set custom_css = "... " section), then they'd have been in the Custom CSS box. You're changing the header image somewhere...

The double line in the sidebar looks to be coming from an empty Custom Text widget. Are you enabling that as one of the choices on the Sidebar page?

My code is a mess; I literally just copy/paste bits and pieces as I go along. At some point I'm going to have to figure out what is what O_o Okay, I think I've changed the header image twice, both in the layer and in CSS, but possibly just changed the header image with the layer and then put the rest of the coding (size and borders) in CSS. Oh my god.

::facepalm:: That was it. Thank you!

While I'm here - I tried to name the layer and while I've followed the code instructions in the community and it compiles without error, it's not actually taking. The code I'm putting in it:

layerinfo "type" = "theme";
layerinfo "name" = "cosy toast";
set base_theme = "Guitar";
set theme_designer = "S. Howell";
set theme_designer_type = "outside";

Any ideas?

Thank you so much, I'm really lost with all this!

Edit: Wait, doing that kills the background image.
