I'm about to finally add my own logo and looking for advice regarding the 'how to' process for doing this?

How to delete the generic logo which comes with the stock theme, and how to replace with mine?

thx!

That's not going to be exactly the same as the bloated xtreme theme, but it should get you going. It may be in a different file, you may even be able to go to Site Admin > Themes and add it in the admin settings.

After fishing around to find where to park my own logo I found the right place and now have that aspect of design done and working properly.

However I haven't figured out how to move the logo around, re: increase left margin so any ideas for this would be most helpful!

ALSO, how can I decrease width of upper page margin where the logo sits?

Thx!

ugh, I really dislike the xtreme theme, way too much code to get something done.

I just right-clicked on your page > view-source. yeah, that's right, right-click "protection" doesn't work, all I have to do is disable that option in Firefox

In your /themes/x_treme/templates directory find theme.tpl

Then find this code:

            <td style="height:{$logoHeight}px; width:{$logoWidth}px">
	      <a href="{g->url}" title="{g->text text='home'}" class="iconLogo">
		<div id="xlogo" title="{g->text text='home'}" onmouseover="this.className='logohover'"></div>
{*************************************
	  <img src="{g->url href="images/galleryLogo_sm.gif"}" width="107" height="48" alt=""/>
********}

Add/change the stuff in bold (probably just need to adjust the 150px number.

            <td style="margin: 0 0 0 150px; height:{$logoHeight}px; width:{$logoWidth}px">
	      <a href="{g->url}" title="{g->text text='home'}" class="iconLogo">
		<div id="xlogo" title="{g->text text='home'}" onmouseover="this.className='logohover'"></div>
{*************************************
	  <img src="{g->url href="images/galleryLogo_sm.gif"}" width="107" height="48" alt=""/>
********}

I'm familiar and comfortable editing the source, and this is what I expected for adjusting these changes and looked for this code. I would have thought it to be near the beginning of the script but did not find it there - must be buried much further into the source code - will look again...

thx again!!

Every theme I've ever looked at, the code for the logo is near the top of the page for theme.tpl

However, x_treme is a bit different. It's about 3/4 of the way down.

Just use Find in your text editor and search for;
<td style="height:{$logoHeight}px; width:{$logoWidth}px">

hello,

Found the script, added your suggestion, did not change anything. Also tweaked the existing script with a few different 'px height' combinations both with your suggested script and without it. Still nothing changed so something in admin must be the default...

Any other ideas ???

I don't see that the changes were applied here:

That's because I reset all back to original code. Just to be safe and not have altered code in there which may conflict with the generic system or script.

Try changing it back and clearing your cache afterwards:

ok, tried again but same results. added the code suggested, tried a couple different px width's, cleared template cache each time, no enchilada!

however now I realize what is likely happening. there is space for the control bar options - login, site admin, options, etc, etc which uses the space between the logo and the main frame of the gallery pages.

so I would need to split that space or frame or whatever it is and how its done into a two column frame, one for the logo, one for the control bar options.

make sense?
