Customization of header, canvas and navigation

[mel6661 0]

I am using PlatformPro, Full-Width Design with canvas. Here you can see, what I would like to do: Searched the forum an found a few code snipets to change the position of the main nav, and put a background in the canvas. But here are still questions left: - How to change the main nav to a text-only version with different text-colors for normal, visited and hover (see picture) - is it possible to define a 50% transparent black pic as background for the nav? - the canvas picture I used is a 10% transparent .png but there is still a colored canvas-background behind visible* * I set the background within the theme to a picture and used a 50% transparent white pattern as canvas background Unfortunately I can not provide a link to the site I am working on, but any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

These are all CSS related questions and all are possible, but it's difficult to assist without a live link to what you're working with. Do you use FireBug or another browser extension for developers?

I am using FireBug as recommended by tutorial. It works to change values but when it comes to copy and change CSS in base.css - I often get lost. My problem is to find out which class etc. is the one to get changed. So, if you can advice me how to change the main nav to a text version as above I would appreciate that a lot.

Okay well it depends. Are you using drop-downs...how did you create your nav...the selectors change depending... more info would help

I am sorry for the lack of information and thank you for your patience. I am using a menu created in wp and in PageLines PlatformPro the navigation widget was used for the site header. If it is possible, I would like to use drop-down. If this is a problem, I can live without them. Sorry again. May be it is possible to send you a link by PM?

If you're using custom menus, yes you can still create dropdown menus. - Under Header And Nav; make sure that the dropdown option box is checked. - Then in Appearance > Menus where you edit your menu you need to make sure you nest submenu items properly nested offset to the right under parent tabs.
