Important Notes for Using WP- Crystal 1.0

About the Sidebars:

WP-Crystal uses two columns for the right sidebar and both are located under the tabber box. You must add at least one widget to each sidebar in order for them to appear.

Changing the color scheme:

WP-Crystal does not make use of the default CSS file. Instead it makes use of different style sheets pertaining to specific colors. The following style sheets are used:

• style-blue.css
• style-green.css
• style-orange.css
• style-pink.css
• style-purple.css
• style-red.css
• style-silver.css

When you would like to change the look and feel of your site by applying a different color:

1. In WP Admin, go to Appearance -> Editor
2. Click the header.php template on the right
3. Find this line of code:
   <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php echo bloginfo(’template_directory’); ?>/style-blue.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
4. Change this to the color value you want to use (e.g., if you want to use the red color for your site change style-blue.css to style-red.css)
5. Click ‘Update File’ to save changes
6. Refresh your site and the new color scheme will be shown

Changing the header graphic:

With the header.php template opened in the editor, find this block of code:

<div id=”header1″ class=”clearfix” onclick=”location.href=’<?php bloginfo(’url’); ?>’;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>
<div id=”site-title” style=”display:none”>
<h1><?php bloginfo(’name’); ?></h1>
</div>
<div id=”site-description” style=”display:none”>
<h2><?php bloginfo(’description’); ?></h2>
</div>
</div>

If you want to use the frilly header graphic all you have to do is change header1 to header2. The other two options are header3 and header4. Both of these do not have the WP-Crystal wording, which will allow you to turn on the site title and/or description. Simply change to header3 or header4, and remove style=”display:none” from site-title and/or site-description.

Remember, you can use any logo you want for your site. We have provided two Photoshop files for each color that you can modify to give your site that unique look and feel (download originals from http://www.wp-crystal.com/crystal-images.zip). If you are going to have a custom header make sure that you use the same dimensions or modify the appropriate style sheet to reflect the dimensions of the logo you want to use.
