Hi there,

is there a list which CSS is NEEDED and and what exactly they do?

Like, this is the whole background, this is the container, these are the buttons, the headline.

Cheers

Hi Denis,

I'm working on that right now, but it might take some more time. If you have any questions about this just me me know.

Kind regards, Patrick

I can wait :-)

thanks so far,
denis

Hi Denis,

The information will either be published as Premium Content or a Tutorial. I will let you know when it is placed.

Kind regards, Patrick

Hi Patrick,

thanks! I found out that always 2 css files are created, is that right? do I need both?

I got:

dmxSlidingBillboard.css
and
dark_black.css

Thanks
Denis

Hi Denis,

Yes, you need both. The dmxSlidingBillboard.css is the general file and is used for setting general settings to the Billboard. This is also used when no style is selected (the default).
The other one is the style you chose. This hasspecific settings for that style. Any settings in the general file can be overwritten by specifying the CSS again in this file, only now with another value.

Kind regards, Patrick

Thanks Patrick,

so finally I only need "dmxSlidingBillboard.css" to try changing the look. cause both got the same, CSS inside?

I just want to try a little bit, to understand what style is what for. I will make a backup before :-)

Denis

Hi Denis,

In theory you are correct, you could do with only one CSS file, but............
Both files hold other styles! There are styles in the general file which are not in the specific file and vice versa.
I'd suggest you play around with it, but a backup like you said, would be very wise!

Kind regards, Patrick

Patrick,

www.localhero.de/bill.php

question :-) how do I get the IMAGE RIGHT/TOP not RIGHT/MIDDLE.

And where do I put a background-image for the whole billboard. is it that STYLE?

.dmxBillboard

I use the default CSS.

As I can see its not that hard :-)

Denis

He Denis,

Since you choose to work in the general styles file, I'm not quit sure, but using a code in the following example should do the trick on the alignment.

.yourchosenstyle .dmxBillboardView li img {
	top:auto !important;
}

About the background. If you want to use a background for the Content (the grey area in your example) use this:

.yourchosenstyle .dmxBillboardView {
background-image: url('yourbackgroundimage.jpg');
}

If you want a background for the entire Billboard (including Header and Footer), remove all background styles and set a background to the div container:

<div class="dmxBillboard yourchosenstyle" id="billboard1">

Good luck with this.

Kind regards, Patrick

great the image is at the TOP now. but it would be even cooler if it is under the HEADLINE :-)))

does that work, too.

and please take a look, www.localhero.de/bill.php

I set the .dmxBillboard padding 20px

that works but not with the FOOTER :-(

Hi Denis,

For the alignment, try and add a top-padding to the image, at the same place where you set the top-alignment for the image. I'm not sure what you mean by the padding in the footer. Could you explain that some more?

Kind regards, Patrick

:-)

I see, it seems only to be in the iE. in the iE the green footer does not pad on the left side :-(((

the margin is a not so good solution, cause i sometimes got names that are longer and go over 2 lines.

so better, it is placed after the title.

Hi Denis,

I'm not quit sure if you are still waiting for a response from our side. At the moment I don't have a ready made solution for you, because this was not the way the Billboard was designed. You might want to play around with the CSS.
If you happen to have found a way to do it, I'm curious how....

Kind regards, Patrick
