    Even modifying skin3.php and fixed option does not work, even if i am able to make the background color in white by putting initial bacground value in comments.

      Just remove this line from ski3.php file:

      body { background:#33282c!important;}

      and then add the line I suggested earlier in your stylesheet.

    Great looking theme but I’m having some problems :(

    I’d love to find out how to;

    A: Change the background image and
    B: Replace the ‘title’ logo with an image? I can’t figure it out at all and the suggestions you’ve made for other people don’t seem to work for me, Towfiq,

    Please help!

      Ok I’ve figured out how to place an image instead of the title text-logo, but I’m still having issues with the background.

      I’ve basically added a background image in place of pattern1 but it’s repeating down the page when I only want it to blend into a colour (background image is top-half of background only)

      Any tips for getting this to work? :)

      whats the line that you added?

    • d4mo85

      html body{background-image:url(http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/patternd.png) center no-repeat!important;}

      Thanks for your speedy reply by the way, great support.

      The no-repeat value is already there, it should not repeat.

    Ok I went back a few steps and simply placed that line at the very bottom of the stylesheet (as you said a few posts back) but it is not changing the background image at all.

      What skin are you using? Go to Scylla Lite Options and check what skin you are using.

    • d4mo85
      on February 7, 2012 at 10:13 am

      It’s the default skin, so #1 I imagine? :)

    • Towfiq I.
      on February 7, 2012 at 10:15 am

      Open up skin1.php file and remove these lines:

      1
2
3
4
5

      /*Background COLOR*/
body { background:#f4f4f4!important;}
 
/*Background Pattern*/
.pattern{ background:url(<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/<?php echo $option['scl_patterns'] ?>.png) repeat!important; }

      Sorry mate, still not working :( The original patterns are still the background, even with those lines removed and this: html body{background-image:url(http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/patternd.png) center no-repeat!important;} – added to the stylesheet, it’s still not working.

      I just can’t believe how difficult it is to remove the pattern from the background and have your own image there fading into a # colour.

      This theme is superb apart from this, so if I could ever leave you feedback it would be to try and simplify these things for people like me who are a little mentally challenged :)

      hmm… I think I will have to look into it. Let me know when the site is online. I may able to solve the problem then.

      And instead of “background-image:”, try “background:”

    Brilliant, that last suggestion fixed it!

    Thank you so much for being patient with me, great support – will recommend you for sure.

    Hihi. First off all I would like to thank you so much for this fantastic theme.

    I´ve however been trying to take all comment related things out. After it did not work by uncheck the comment box under Settings -> Discussion. I did delete all the script in comments.php

    Everything went out, but the ” 0 Comm” in each blog/post box dose still display… can you help me!

    First off, thanks for the theme I love it!

    Question, is there a way to maintain the block style of the front page when you click on a category rather than getting a chronological list of the posts within that category?

    Thanks!

      Download this zip file and extract the category.php file and upload it to your theme directory:

      1

      Towfiq you’re the man, love the theme the more I get into it.

      Another question, is there a way to increase the number of boxes that display on the pages before the pagination starts?

      This would be for the front page and also the category pages as well.

      I would prefer to have more than 5 or 6 show if possible.

      Thanks!

      Go to Settings> general and set the number of blog posts per page.

    • chris
      on February 17, 2012 at 4:13 pm

      ah thanks, didn’t even think to look there (Settings > Reading settings for me), thought it was specific to the team.

      Thanks again, great support!

      Align the top menu to the left side of the page? I tried changing a couple of the float parameters in the code but it didn’t seem to work. Thanks!

    • Towfiq I.
      on February 22, 2012 at 9:30 am

      Add this to your stylesheet:

      #topmenu{float:left!important;}

      Go to Appearance> Scylla lite Options and click the “Slider” tab and set the number of slides. Default is 1.

    Hello.. love the theme for client but for some reason my slider on homepage is not working. I added 3 slides and set number of slides in admin panel to 3 but still not working. Could it be conflict with another plugin previously installed? Great theme so far, i intend to upgrade if I can get it to work properly.
