One final question, by default the homepage panes have two columns. i mean they show as two columns and many rows. Can that be set to a single column and many rows?

Prasanna: I live in Hyderabad. I might hire somebody, but with the budget we have, we cant go for all out pros who charge a bomb. (the least i found somebody to design a custom wp theme was about 10-15K Indian Rupees). so when i stumbled on graphene, i found it extremely useful and started tweaking it, but the css is killing me as i hardly know anything about it. I would send you and josh a list of specifications, pl. let me know if anyone of you know anybody who does stuff at nominal rates. It would be of great help. All i need are a few customizations of the homepage and a few for the normal blogposts.

@Kenneth, @Josh: starting off such a thread would be of a great help for all the newbies out there. I know its not possible to teach CSS over these forums, but your idea of putting together these resources is just so cool!

will implement the changes and see if i have anyluck.

thanks a lot again!a

there are so many more things i need to do to this tweaking-the-theme process. probably i should start off with learning the basics of css so that i can atleast understand what code says what. for starters all i need

-> is the menu hover to change to a color (the golden yellow one)

-> menu font to be changed to folksolid

-> and home-page pane’s excerpt to be in justified alignment.

-> and if possible i want the sidebar, but not as wide as it is in default. more like 60-70% of the original width.

pls. let me knw of these tweaks if they are possible and guide me through.

a million thanks in advance 🙂

my other issue is, now i am tweaking a test site and finally in a day or two i have to implement this onto the main site we have. is there any way to just lift this theme from the test site and put it to the main site with all the custom edits in place? coz, doing it all again would be cumbersome and i might make mistakes again and again and might have to keep asking for help here which wont look good!

i copied the whole thing that Josh gave me and replaced the pretty messy code i had in my Custom CSS. Still no avail with the menubar.

@prasanna: you are right, i dont think folksolid is added in the font family could you guide me as to how i should do that?

**and i dont have child themes in my wp. is that an issue? pls. guide me there also.***

@kenneth: i even implemented your corrections, except for the font, nothing else changes. i probably could give an admin user and pass maybe one of you could look into what the issue actually is. this is asking too much from a forum, but i am totally new to tweaking themes..

pl. do respond.

i dont know if i made a mistake. I just looked around in this forum and copied the code that was suggested. it worked for most of the tweaks. i guess i will have to try learn some css and html to not have these problems in future since i will be with this website for a very long time.

somehow it does not seem to work. i copied and pasted the code and changed the hex numbers of the colors for what i want, but nothing changes. maybe i am doing something wrong here. should i give an admin level access or something that would make it easier for everybody?

and many thanks for the very prompt reply! this forum really is a very helpful one!!

thanks again
