Skin mod - More Generic Fence skin

[Brent]

Fence is a Subdreamer skin released in January 2007 by Subdreamer and designed by indiqo media.
This is a mod to make it more generic / suitable for other themes.

It's a really cute skin, I love it actually... with a dog / puppy / pet cheery theme. Great artwork and great colors.

The problem is I don't have a use for that type of theme, but I bet I this skin would also be amazing in a more generic form.

I've taken this skin and removed some artwork and some extras to make it very simple and to easily suit many different types of website themes by just replacing the header image as I have done in this case, replacing the puppy theme with a flower or 'green' theme.

Only two CSS files were modified to achieve this new look.
style.css and menu.css Essentially removing the background artwork and removing the blue vertical background of the menu navigation items.

One file was replaced which was f_banner.jpg with my own image of the flower... you could add your own image by creating a .jpg image with the dimensions of 744x175 , name it f_banner.jpg and replace the default one.

Thanks thomas.

It's a pretty basic mod but hopefully some find it useful. :)

Nice mod there Brent....now that is a skin many should be proud of to change..whereas so many are hard to the novice to change and make it fit for more than one type of site.

May I ask here about navigation in fence, please.

I made some subcategories under home (we called Start BPS) and under them too and the main nav is working this way, that you can not move mouse to the right, over the subcat window listing lower subcategories. You can test it www.bayerpasozytomstop.pl (http://www.bayerpasozytomstop.pl/)

How to make the navigation to stay on screen and let users chose a subcat wich is deeper than one level under home.

I see that the submenu disappears right away.
I'm not sure what caused that. Do you experience this with the original fence skin files uploaded?
