It’s a cool template, I might give it a try later.

Excellent theme. Probably one of the best.

Great theme I must say…

Is it possible to make the header smaller (height)? I tried to replace the vslider.jpg with a jpg of 100×762 and it’s still 200px high.

Thanks in advance,
pascal

Pascal, yes you can make it smaller, but just changing the image is not enough. You have to edit the file style_header.css, and find this block of code:

#headerimg {
height: 200px;
width: 762px;
margin: 15px auto 0 auto;
}

Change the height from 200px to 100px.
That should do it.

Well, I’ve done exactly what you suggest here (seemed like the right thing to do) but on my computer the spacing was still the same.
However, I’m now on a pc of someone else, and there the header is 100 pixels

I think I have to flush my cache or sth like that on my own pc.
Thanks for the quick response tough

By the way: is there a chance that you’re going to make another WPG2-theme, maybe derrived from this one?

I already did the vSlider WPG2 companion theme. It’s also available for download…. so… I’m not sure what are you asking

Fantastic theme, working on adapting my site to it…FYI, it works great in Apple’s Safari v2.0.2, which is not always the case with themes developed for *ahem* IE only…great work.

Really good news Mike. I don’t have a Mac available to test it, so this info is really helpful. Thanks!

It is very beautiful. I like it very much! Thank you for your work.

Is there any way to make the theme have a dynamic width? As opposed to the fixed fidth it has now. Most ppl I know have screen resolutions higher than the 1400×1024 I have and it looks narrow on my screen. The reason I’m asking for dynamic is that some ppl might have a smaller screen and will have to scroll if I’d set the width any higher than it is now…

Thanks for a great theme btw.

Hi Djerk,

in short, no, it is not easy. The backgrounds of this theme are made using images that obviously don’t expand.
It could be possible (maybe) to slice up the images even further (separating the corners), and alter the HTML to use expanding areas with repeated patterns – but that will take a LOT of work. If anybody out there wants to give a try, they are more than welcome

That’s kinda what I was thinking about, not that I’m experienced enough to do so at all. But my idea would be to have an image width as per default in the theme. Then fill out the sides depending on the browser width. Not sure what to do with the rim around the image though.

So currently my wish list is a dynamic width as stated above and overlaying the site title dynamically as I have no means for generating header images with a rim or text on them. Nothing I dare put on my site anyway…

Tx for the theme I really like it.

What needs to be done to change the width of the page? I want the width to be 862px instead of 762px, but it seems the width and width derived values are sprinkled all over the style sheets. Do you have a list of what needs change? Thanks.

Great theme btw, love the clean design.

Hi Rui

I like it ! I try to translate it french for my own blog. I hope you will be agree.

Bonjour Rui

j’adore votre thème, et j’essaye de le traduire en français pour mon blog personnel. J’espère que vous n’y voyez pas d’inconvénients

I was not happy with any of the formats until I came accross vslider2. Thank you so much for your work and making it available to everyone on wordpress. It is beutiful and simple.

Rui,

Just another thought, well actually I though of hacking it myself but I’m lacking the time and it would be my first touch of javascript. Would it be possible to combine the following things:

- Check the inside window width (usable pixels)
- Find nearest standardised page width and set variables for style_header.css to pick up and use

I’m ok with generating 3 header images in subfolders of where the header images are now. Next step would be to get two images overlayed so you can generate a fitting border with a ’see through’ center. The image to be displayed would effectively be cropped.

The latter would not be liked by a number so personally I’d leave that for someone else

Come to think of it I remember a number of sites that have a selectable screen size leaving it up to the user to select a width. This would only require altering the parameters as parsed by default from the css file and changing the path to point to a bunch of set width header images…
