Guys, I would like to know how to have a outer background and then have another in the middle, but have it applied to all pages. I'm trying to do it like this page

http://cogdelmarva-dc.com/ you will see they have a gray outer background and the main page is blue.

I would also like to know if anyone knows of a plugin that would allow me to create quicklinks like they have on this page.

If you look at my page htp://www.christiancompassion.com/CC

I'm still trying to find out how I can modify the menu so I don't have my menu dropping to the next line.

I still have some things to do on the page as you'll see like get my allvideos to play on the right side

changing my logo size (that I know how to do, just can't do it at work right now)

Hello,

You can do this by creating a background image that is as wide as the blue area the setting the background color to gray via the template manager in 1.5 or index.php in 1.0.x.  Next you will have to open up the index.php file and look for where the background image is set to the tag:

:
body {
	background:<?php echo ($s5_colorback);?> url(<?php echo ($s5_repeatback);?>) repeat-x;}

and change it to:


:
body {
	background:<?php echo ($s5_colorback);?> url(<?php echo ($s5_repeatback);?>) no-repeat center top
;}


As for the navigation menu items, you can change their font size, etc.  Please refer to the following post regarding this:
