This was my first time working with this template and I grew to like it more and more as I worked with it! It has a LOT going for it. I hope to be able to use it again sometime. - Kathy

I like it! Welcoming and friendly (I love that template, too!),
A couple of quick things:
1 - on the calendar page, the module on the top of the left column still seems to have the default title (GCalendar Test) and the text at the top of the calendar seems to imply that you can create a calendar that is specific to your group, but you haven not yet done so. Is that a call to action? Do you want people to vote on that?
2 - If you can make the grungebanner.jpg header a .png, it might bland better with the black background at top and not have that "boxy" feel. Take a look here to see how it blends a bit better: www.thehamletsecret.com/index.php/about-the-book.html .
Otherwise, nice work!

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, the calendar is a placeholder for one someone from the church said he would make. I'm waiting a couple-three days, and if it seems like it's not getting done, I'll write to him and unpublish the page until he's really ready to do it.
Thank you for the idea about the banner! I will give that a whirl.
Really nice of you to take the time to give me this feedback!
Thanks!

hmmm ... I must say you have done better sites. Not bad – but I dont get the same warm feeling that I get on your other sites.
One little notice: is that thin line wanted (see screenshot) ... - Last Edit: 14 years 11 months ago by Henning.

Yeah....I was trying for a different look -- wanted to do something with a white content area.
I'm glad you mentioned the purple line. I thought that was part of the template, in other words I thought it was s'posed to be that way. Huh. I wonder what it is. I'll go look at it with firebug.
Ok, I can take it away by setting li.menu-top and li.menu-bottom borders to 0. But now when you hover over the menu items, the text jumps a little. I don't like that. Currently not seeing how to stop it though. If I could impose on you to take a look....

- You know, I'm using Reaction v. 1.5.2....I wonder if it's possible that menu thing was fixed in the updated template release. I think I'm too tired tonight to start trying to figure that out!

find in style2.css
.menutop li:hover, .menutop li.active {background: url(../images/menus/style2/topmenu-drop-active.png) 50% 50% no-repeat;border-bottom: 1px solid #9262CF;border-top: 1px solid #9262CF;}
and remove the border like this
.menutop li:hover, .menutop li.active {background: url(../images/menus/style2/topmenu-drop-active.png) 50% 50% no-repeat;} - Last Edit: 14 years 11 months ago by Henning.

I also see that the root menue items are not centered properly.This image is hidden for guests.
Please log in or register to see it.
in fusion.css you can change that ...
/* Root Items */
.menutop {list-style: none;margin: 0;padding: 0;position: relative;line-height: 1.0;float: left;}
body #rt-menu ul.level1 {background:none;}
.menutop li.root {display: block;float: left;margin-left: -10px;}
.menutop li.root > .item {white-space: nowrap;display: block;float: left;font-weight: bold;padding: 0 24px;font-size: 12px;z-index: 100;cursor: pointer;position:relative;margin: 0 0 0 -10px;outline: none;text-transform: uppercase;text-align: center;line-height: 31px;}
.menutop li.root > .item span {display: block;margin: 0;outline: none;padding: 7px 0;}
.menutop li.root > .item em {font-size:11px;font-weight:normal;display:block;font-style:normal;text-transform: lowercase;}
change it to this should make it look better ...
(probably you have too look into the corresponding ie6.css as well)
/* Root Items */
.menutop {list-style: none;margin: 0;padding: 0;position: relative;line-height: 1.0;float: left;}
body #rt-menu ul.level1 {background:none;}
.menutop li.root {display: block;float: left;margin-left: 0px;}
.menutop li.root > .item {white-space: nowrap;display: block;float: left;font-weight: bold;padding: 0 15px;font-size: 12px;z-index: 100;cursor: pointer;position:relative;margin: 0 0 0 0px;outline: none;text-transform: uppercase;text-align: center;line-height: 31px;}
.menutop li.root > .item span {display: block;margin: 0;outline: none;padding: 7px 0;}
.menutop li.root > .item em {font-size:11px;font-weight:normal;display:block;font-style:normal;text-transform: lowercase;}
btw. I never liked the look of the "scroll to top-button" with the edges cut of ... so I would change that too ...

Henning, seriously, I can't thank you enough. You solved my problem on that. I had tried a couple things in the css but I was taking out the wrong border!
Plus I didn't even notice the off-center menu items.
I wish I could say that I will return the favor sometime but you're way ahead of me! So all I can say is thank you, I appreciate your help! - Kathy

I would not say ahead ... just a matter of good tools to analyze the css/xhtml.
I'm working on my own site with reaction and so I am familiar with the structure of the template ...
