The CSS overrides option allows you to create new and specific CSS styling that gets applied to your template. These styles are input in this section override the child's theme within the template.

cssOverrides

 

As you can see from the screenshot above the first ten options relate specifically to the css for the headings, links and tagline while the last option is an open variable that can be used to insert any kind of css into the template.

 

Specific CSS

The syntax used for the first set of rules needs to follow this format as per the usual css syntax:

eg background:#fff;color:black;line-height:2em etc

Notice that we dont nominate the rule itself as this is already included in the framework.

 

Extra CSS

The last option is more open ended and you need to insert the fule rule into the textarea.

eg .fullWrap {margin:40px 0;background:#000;color:#fff} .outerWrapper {color:#999} etc

 

Implementing background images

When implementing background images using this option you need to ensure that the path is the absolute url to the image you are trying to use. Normall in css images are referenced relatively to the stylesheet. However when inline css is being implemented you need to use the absolute url such as the example below.

eg .fullWrap {background: url(http://www.joomlabamboo.com/templates/zengrid/images/bg.jpg)}
