I love dark styles because they are easy on the eyes.
Keep up the good work, DWho!

There's a problem with the footer:
Fix:
overall_footer.tpl
find:
class="min250" x 2
Options:
1. Delete the class.
2. Change to style="width: 25%;"
3. Edit common.css and change .min250 to 25%

What resolution do you have that on as I cannot see it error..?
though I will apply your suggestions...
Lopalong [ Mon 27 Jul, 2009 14:12 ]
Post subject: Re: [Themes Release]Fire Fly
1024x768 that's probably the only reason why I can see it.
I have mentioned it to MG several times that the min250 creates problems for modded themes - He keeps telling me it doesn't.

Thanks Dr. Who.
I uploaded theme last night, and there's no problem with the following browsers: Opera, Firefox, however the bottom right there is a slight issue with IE8 only. From what I can see full width blocks are wider than the theme .css allows, as lopalong stated.
Thanks for the fantastic theme and keep up the great work.
P.S. update: The issue is only on the portal page, and not in any other pages while using IE8

1024x768 It's also in FF v 3.0.10 to a lesser degree at that resolution.
Here's a pic with the problem.

This is FF v 3.5.0.1
Resolution 1240*1080
No problems at all
And IE 8
Same resolution
No probs

We know that spydie,
The problem is at the lower resolutions, and there are probably a zillion users who still use 1024x768 - And theme makers have to cater for all "normally" used resolutions unfortunately.
It's like FF and IE - We can't tell people to use one particular browser because it "works", we have to make it work with all normally used browsers.
I'd hate to be some poor user who still uses 800x600 - God knows what that would look like.

After removing the flash news block... this is the result I get on this theme... at
1024 by 768
Firefox 3.5
IE 8
I cannot do much better than that... if the side images was a smaller width you would not have a problem at all
in 800 by 600 the user loses some of the right hand side but the information is still there to view....

So what you are saying it that you still have a small problem with it at 1024 by 768 ?
If yes, and you make it available, and PM the link - I'll help if I can.
BTW, 800x600 was meant as a joke - If anyone still uses that, they deserve what they get.

lol I know it was a joke.. I just thought I would test it to see what the theme would look like...

I started having problems with the firefly and agent themes today. The right side is really off. I'm going to apply that footer code fix that lopalong suggested.....

I have mentioned it to MG several times that the min250 creates problems for modded themes - He keeps telling me it doesn't.

That is not fully correct... it doesn't create problems with 1024 resolutions with my templates. This is the correct sentence.
Of course a designer should take this into account in case his borders are too wide... every designer has its own preferred way for doing things, and I have found that "min250 thing" fits all my needs.
Thanks for reporting the solution for this template, I hope to keep this into my mind next time I will code a brand new template.
BTW, 800x600 was meant as a joke - If anyone still uses that, they deserve what they get.

I quote this... and I add this:

If you guys come up with a fix for all browsers let me know. I've tried eliminating the class argument, and the portal page, (which is the only one with trouble for me), still has a right margin problem.
P.S. I'm using 1024X768 and.....maybe if the spacing between the columns was narrowed down or eliminated, then things might display better?...just a thought.

Post subject: Re: [Themes Release]Fire Fly
I have tested my themes in every single resolution and none fail to a degree that ruins the viewers view of the site...
Agent themes do not break in any resolution in FF or IE... if you have flash news block activated it will might break that theme and I might add it to the theme folder in future for new themes..
I started having problems with the firefly and agent themes today. The right side is really off. I'm going to apply that footer code fix that lopalong suggested.....

it was not the footer causing the problem the footer images were to wide... I updated the theme with new images and now they work fine... except for a slight alignment error which i will sort out shortly...

The funny thing is, with me it's only the portal page....thanks for your help, Dr. Who.

All themes are now fixed of errors... any problems on the portal pages at low resolution can be caused by flash news block or another wide block...
Let me know if it is any block and I will look at the block code...
All themes have been updated in my download section .. link in first post

Fix for
flash_news_block
For everybody.
Solution of this problem.
Open templates/default/blocks/flash_news_block.tpl
find
'width', '728',
'height', '150',
Replace with
'width', '596',
'height', '123',
That sorts this problem.
Big thank´s to DWho
