Maybe you could post a package with templates, forumstyle, forumranks etc ? Would be cool

nice!!

right, beware long post.

so, i'm trying to understand this luna_wotlk template. As it comes to colors, most things are pretty clear at the moment. But now i've come to the point where i want to take things a step further and things are getting confusing.

1) there seem to be 2 files wich affect the styling: style.php and luna_wotlk.css
here's the confusing part: i want to create an img for the left and right menu's in the portal, and a different one for the middle section as that one's width is longer.
so lets dig in the luna_wotlk.css file.

found the code wich should affect the left menu topimage:


now when i made changes to this NOTHING was happening. So i dug into the style.php file and found the exact same code. When i made changes there, now THAT worked. So some stuff i need to edit in the luna.css file and other stuff only works when i change it in the style.php file. I've tried searching at the wiki page, but no answers there that helped me on figuring it out. So far so good, so now i know that its in the style.php file.

all, done, made the image and replaced it with my own. Super that worked. BUT.. it seems both the middle section and the menu's use that same exact image. So into the code again to see what class is assigned to the menu's so i can assign another class to the menu sections and use the default class for the middle section. To my suprise i find this in the page_header.html file:


i suppose that this defines the styling of atleast the left menu because when i change the width in that line it affects the width of the sidebar.
BUT i see here that the class is "portal_sidebar"... nowhere in the template folder is that class defined. and changing that to another class while defining it in luna_wotlk.css is not working either.

so now i'm confused. Where do i change what to make it work so that the sidebar has it own styling seperate from the middle section?

searching and learning myself, aint that fun! As i said before, i aint no specialist in php, but i'm not afraid to look for things that i dont understand and learn from it.
So maybe interesting for fellow themers that also have this problem.
I found that every <th tag has a styling attached to it, i didnt know this was possible. That explains the code below and why that the specifeid image was being used everywhere.


now to fix what i want, was to go to the page_header.html and look for the code where the sidebar starts and override the th styleling.
the Sidebar has a styling for the title of every bar namely: "smalltitle". So all i had to do was add a background image in the style.php for that class and problem solved!

updated, see first post.

we decided to go darker
