Navstrip Customization [Solved]

[moonrise]

I am trying to customize my navigation bar to match my journal and it's just not working.

Might be because you've put your theme customization in the user layer, not the theme layer. When you create a new custom style you're given the option of picking a custom theme and a custom user. Put all of the theme stuff (all the function bits) in a theme layer. Put all the things-you-choose-via-the-LJ-wizard (aka the long list of "Set" commands) in a user layer, or use the "Auto-generated customization" layer. (I think you can also choose "none" via the -- option. That might work too.)

Alrighty, got all that set up. I had always just used it as the user layer with no issues.
So, the user is here and the theme is here.

It still has the nav bar change as soon as I add in the theme layer. So it's something in there, or something missing from there.

Also, moving things into a theme layer moved my tags around, so now I have to figure out how to fix that. Before they would sit below the mood and music and now they are way above it and right under the entry again.

You're still using the old controlstrip code in your CSS:

select, input, .textbox, textarea, #lj_controlstrip select,
#lj_controlstrip input, #lj_controlstrip textarea {background-color: #000000 !important; border: 1px dotted #FEEECEC; color: #574B83; font: 9pt century gothic;}

#lj_controlstrip {background: none; border-bottom: 3px solid #574B83;}
#lj_controlstrip td {border: 0;}
#lj_controlstrip a{font: 9pt century gothic; color: #2171E9;}

#lj_controlstrip_new {position: fixed;}

You'll have to change that to the new CSS for the controlstrip. I don't know what you want to change exactly, so I'll just give you some of the basics to play around with:

/* Cleaned CSS for the new controlstrip

I knew it was going to be something stupid and easy that was going to make me wonder how I didn't catch it. Thanks a bundle.

You're welcome. Glad I could help. :)
