]]> aloon on "modifying Tarski to look like K2" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/modifying-tarski-to-look-like-k2#post-876390 Tue, 01 May 2012 11:48:08 +0000 aloon 876390@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ For a long time I've been using the K2 theme because I love it's simple, clean looks. Unfortunately it's development died a long time ago already. I figured that it's not sustainable to keep using K2 if it's not updated for newer WordPress releases. I've decided to use the Tarski theme to replace K2. The problem is, Tarski has quite a different look from K2, so I've decided to make an alternate style for Tarski to mimic the look of K2. Unfortunately this isn't easy with my limited CSS-skills and I'd appreciate some help.

My first start was finding a way to get the blog title text placed in the header image. I found this topic on the forums here which gives some advice. I modified it slightly for my purposes, it works but more modifications are necessary. I've got the following code for the alternate style now:

/*<br /> avlmod.css<br /> Alexander van Loon's style for the Tarski theme - http://tarskitheme.com/<br /> Designed by Alexander van Loon, http://alexandervanloon.nl/<br /> */</p> <p>/* Header text */</p> <p>#title {<br /> color:white;<br /> /*font-weight:2000;*/<br /> /*text-shadow: black 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em*/<br /> border-bottom: medium none;<br /> position: relative;<br /> text-align: left;<br /> left:30px;<br /> top: -120px;<br /> }</p> <p>#navigation {<br /> border-top: 1px solid #CCCCCC;<br /> }

See my English blog for the alternate style in action and my Dutch blog for what K2 looks like.

So what is still needed:

  • I got the blog title text moved to the hover over the header image, but there is still space reserved for the blog title text just below the header image, how is that blank space removed?
  • I need some shadow for the white text to be easily readable on every kind of header image, but the CSS doesn't work, code is commented out.
  • Text doesn't become bold with the code which is commented out
  • I need some blank space above the header image
  • Text just below the title needs the modifications as well

By the way, is it just me, or is the style.css file for Tarski very badly readable? It's just a dump of code without any comments telling me what the code does; unlike the alternate styles which are shipped with the release, they do have some elementary layout and brief comments to tell what the code is for. I wanted to ask this in Tarski's own forums, but those are still down.

When this alternate style is finished I will advertise it on my blog and try to get it included in upstream Tarski so that others will be able to enjoy it as well.

Side effects in CSS can be hard to track anyway. If you don't know that there were changes, you're looking at your page and just realize that something looks different... you might not even know what exactly.

Best practice from a bloggers POV probably is to replace the CSS completely. First copy the Original CSS, and after that write/paste in your changes.

Do NOT edit in the original section, it becomes a nightmare - trust me on this one... CSS always takes the last definition it finds, so simply redefine what you would like to change. Doing so keeps the original CSS and your code at least separated in the document.

As all comments are stripped out by wordpress.com during script validation, keep a commented copy of the CSS in our files.

Hope it helps

Klaus

It worked in all Browsers, even gracefully falling back in IE6..

At the beginning of March it worked just great. Today I suddenly realized that it is *gone*. Last CSS edit from my side was March 5th, it has worked for quite a while after that.

Were there *any* changes after that date in the base theme K2, or in the way the custom CSS and the theme CSS is combined? I'm really frustrated here. The whole point of hosting here is to have a reliable environment.

Right now your header image is in a google mail account. That will never work since wordpress would have to log into your mail account.

Download the image to your desktop and then upload it to your blog media library: media > add new. Once it is uploaded the URL of the image will be toward the bottom of that upload window.
