Shape 5

Hello.

Please have a look at a website that I am working on:  http://www.asafl.is/index.php
I am trying to use together the S5 Tab Show module and the S5 Digital Systems template.

I am not able to make changes, I make in the Tab Show admin, show up in the module on the site.

In the admin of the Tab Show module I am using the S5 effects javascript because the content of the Tab Show module will get messed up and overlap each other if I use the mootools/jquery javacript setting.

I also increased the width of the S5 Digital Systems template by 200 pixels from the distributed copy of the template..

The enclosed screenshot shows that the Tab Show module is not utilizing the great graphics created for it in the Tab Show module images folder.  The S5 Tab Show buttons come out as plain white rectangles. See attached screenshot.
.
I would very much like to be able to remove or reduce significantly the very large white border that encloses the content of the Tab Show. See red circles on the screenshot.  Also the margin is too little between the lower half of the Tab Show module and the beginning of the category title "Frettir".

I can send you access details to the joomla backend and also provide you with FTP login details so as to get this particular problem fixed.

Thank for your help.

Hello,

You can change the bottom margin here, just remove the padding bottom and change to margin and this will decrease white space but increase space below module:

#s5_tabshow_left {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
    margin-bottom: 25px;
}

http://www.asafl.is/modules/mod_s5_tabshow/s5_tabshow/styles.css (line 156)

As for other changes I would just use firebug and use the "inspect" tool and hover over items on your site and then you can see what CSS is formatting them.  We have a tutorial for firebug located here too:

Hello.

Your suggestion reduced the margin of the white border. Also in line 88 of the styles.css file I made the following change:

#s5_button_content .moduletable {
   padding:30px;}

#s5_button_content .moduletable {
   padding:5px;}

This reduced the margin even further.

I went ahead and installed Firebug as you suggested and pulled my site up in Firefox.

Firebug showed me very easily where and what changes I needed to make to the  CSS to get the look of the S5 Tab Show module on the site to my liking..

Thanks for the good advice.
