White stuff in Freshy

  • Unknown's avatar

    There is some white stuff near the header image of my Freshy theme.. how do I make it go?

    I don’t see any white stuff near your header image using Netscape 7.2. Can you post a pic somewhere of what you’re seeing? What browser, borwser version and OS are you using?

    There are two very narrow white horizontal lines along the top and bottom of the header image framing it (Firefox 2.0.0.1). There is also a very narrow white line outlining the nav bar all around it. Perhaps these are supposed to be there.

    Well, lets wait for the poster to speak up. You know what they say about “assume”, right? ;)

    I’m using Freshy now too and your blog header looks just like mine even though we’re both using unique images.

    Hey sorry.. I could not get back right then.. I got a screenshot.. I have marked the white stuff in red. My browser is Firefox.

    Here is an image of what I see.

    I am on a Mac using the lastest Firefox release and I don’t see that white space in your screenshot. When you visit my blog at http://urbansemiotic.com do you see that same white space?

    I just checked your blog using Safari and Opera and there’s nothing like that in either of those browsers.

    Using firefox 2.0.0.1 on windows XP media center edition I do not see the whitespace indicated in the screen shot on either of your blogs.

    Well in the layout CSS in #header it is declared at width 800px ? with a 1px margin. Wierd.

    That is strange because custom image headers are supposed to be 780×95.

    When I work up my WindowsXP box and use IE7 — I see a strange one-pixel vertical line on the right hand side of my header image and yours as well! Weird!

    There’s no such pixel line using the latest Firefox for Windows on the same machine. Weirder!

    Well Matt and Co are always pretty ropey on CSS. They have probably *improved* this when they did the port. But no 2 ways about this. That 1px margin is a bork plain and simple. As is the 800px width.

    I guess we should report this thread on Monday via Feedback to see if it can get fixed?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Here we are

    #title {
    
    	background:url(images/header.gif) top #7F7F7F no-repeat;
    
    	height:76px;
    
    	margin:0;
    
    	padding:25px 25px 0 25px;
    
    	clear:both;
    
    	text-align:left;
    
    }
    

    Its a train wreck.
    Why do we need to shell out bucks to fix up this kind of mess?

    Hi atthe404 —

    Can we fix this via Custom CSS? I have the option enabled. I’m happy to test a fix if we one can be written.

  • Unknown's avatar

    WordPress has *never* paid any attention to anything I have ever said about this type of stuff. While they adopt other designers work for themselves at no cost the mess will continue. Let them get a pro in. I gave up reporting glitches in WP .72

    bork, train wreck, lame Links widget in the other thread

    Oh dear me … lol … coffee, I need coffee

  • Unknown's avatar

    Well I can fix it in my FF edit tool (temporarily). You need to fix up the whole positioning schema. Not a big deal its just fiddly.

    If you FELT LIKE fixing it via Custom CSS — what might your code look like? HINT, POKE, SMILE!

    THE REST OF THE FRESHY WORLD IS LISTENING TO YOU!

    The problem – to quote the Iraqi Information Minister – as usual – is the Box Model. Although there is a laughable attempt at a hack it is not positioned correctly to head off all the width variations. If I was so minded :) I would start by taking out all padding, margins and borders on ANYTHING that has a fixed width. That is just about everything that we have been talking about. It goes a bit kinky until you then adjust the widths themselves.

    Arrgh!

    I guess we’ll have to wait for the WP.com folk to fix the base code for the theme then, eh?
