Thank you Tumbleweed. I really appreciate your help on this. It will mean a lot to me as time goes by. If you have any further advice for me, feel free to pass it on. I appreciate all the help I can get.



This is my first attempt at a multi layer board at proBoards. Got a couple of little problems I need help with.



Hi light color color obliterates everything in navigation tree bar, all drop downs, everything. Text is not centerd on this bar,



Cannot find how or where to change color on "Create Thread" button and "Reply" button.

I want to add a couple more layers to this, but first, I gotta get these little problems worked out.  I really love working with multi layer boards and I will be forever greatful that you helped me to get started.

To get the text centered on the nav tree try adding this to the bottom of your style sheet:

#nav-tree>li a{
line-height:.8em!important;
}
#nav-tree>li a:hover{
line-height:.8em!important;
}
I am suspecting it is doing the same thing with Participated on the right so if so, use this instead of the above:

#nav-tree>li a , .recent-threads-button{
line-height:.8em!important;
}
#nav-tree>li a:hover, .recent-threads-button:hover{
line-height:.8em!important;
}
You might have to play with the .8em a bit to get it perfect. (Once you hit .9em the next bigger line height would be 1.0, then 1.2, etc, and then shorter would of course be .8, .7, etc.)

Do you want the hover background color white with your text a different color or just want to change the background color so the text color shows. Seems you have them both set to white. You could just add that to the style above like I did in blue below:

#nav-tree>li a , .recent-threads-button{
line-height:.8em!important;
}
#nav-tree>li a:hover, .recent-threads-button:hover{
line-height:.8em!important;background-color:#444444!important; color: #ff0000!important;
}

Or if you prefer, head to your visual editor and the Header (Top)>Navigation Tree Container>Links>Hover to change the text color or to change the hover background go down a tiny bit and you'll see a additional hover where you can change the background color.

Oh, and your test site is looking pretty so far.

Now....with those problems out of the way, I can ask for help on a couple of new problems.  First of all, let me say, I added a couple of new layers to what Tumbleweed gave me.   They did all show up, but I cannot adjust the sizes in the way I used to be able to do.  My gold metallics, I would like to be able to do the width in pixils.  I would like one to be just a sliver (maybe 2 or 3 pixils} and the other one maybe 5 or 6 pixils.  Other Layers should be adjustable as well, but predictable.  I can't seem to get  the outer gold layer dowwn to the more narrow line I was looking for.  

I hope I am not asking too much, but you guys seem to have everything covered.  Still, if I am asking too much, please tell me.  

Attaching my first Multtilayer background/theme to explain a couple of problems I can't seem to work out.  Sure would appreeciate some help.  Thanks.

You can also use color in place of background images. Sometimes I will just put color borders and that works as well.
