   Nice theme! Thanks for making it freely available to the WordPress community! I’ve added it to my comprehensive list of 130+ WordPress 1.5 Themes at http://blogging.typepad.com/how_to_blog/2005/03/comprehensive_l.html

   Okay… how the heck do you make those transparent .png files?

   (And by the way, just out of curiosity, which comment validation plugin are you using?)

   Thanks…

   I made the transparent PNG files using a program called Gimp. It’s an open source image editing program and can be downloaded for free at Gimp.org. The images I use are usually 1 pixel by 1 pixel, and between 60% and 80% opacity.

   But Internet Explorer doesn’t recognize transparent png images, so you have to do some interesting hacks to get it to work right. See my post on IE png transparency for more details or just search for it on Google.

   And the plugin I use for comment validation is called “authimage” and I think it can be downloaded from WordPress.org.

   I should have dropped you a note sometime before now to let you know that for some time now I’ve been using your Stevish Got Class theme.

   I’ve done a few minor customizations, but I think it is a great theme, and I appreciate your making it available. It has served me well.

    I am starting a blog and I love your “9 Shades Of Green” theme. This is the theme I like the most, after searching through a couple of hundred themes.

    I am having a problem when the theme displays the Archives, Catagories and Search Results pages. It displays code like:

    .WPMCL_link{
    color: #440066;
    font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration:underline;
    }

    #WPMCL_popup{
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-color: white;
    border: 0.1em dashed black;
    font-family: “Verdana”, Arial, Sans-Serif;
    font-size: 75%;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0.7em;
    position: absolute;
    […]

    instead of the proper results. Do you know what the problem my be?

    Hi,
    I am starting a blog and like the simplicity and clarity of your 9 Shades of Green. The problem is that I don’t know anything about code and can’t figure out how to put an image in the sidebar. Can you give some clues. Thanks
    Ron

    Ron,
     
    Alright. The picture is a piece of cake, once you know where to look. Go into the “Theme Editor” in your admin panel. Select Nine Shades of Green to make sure you’re editing the right files. Then on the right side, click on “Sidebar.” This will open up sidebar.php. Look for thie line:

    

    Then simply change the url ( http://i33.photobucket.com…) to the url of the picture (ie. http://www.mysite.com/pictures/me.jpg). It’s also recommended to change the “alt” to a simple description of the picture (ie. “Me at work”).

    After you change those two things, click on update file. Then you should be all set. Go back to your main page and take a look to make sure the picture looks right. If it doesn’t show up at all, try refreshing the page (F5).

    Let me know if you have any more problems.

    I, too, have been having a lot of fun with the 9 Shades of green theme. I’ve made some color scheme changes, but I love the general design of the theme. Especially the pop-outs! But I have learned that on IE7 the searchbar gets messed up. Basically, the border shrinks and some of the text wraps down into the individual post section. Do you have any idea why this may be happening, and if there is a relatively simple fix for it?

    Thanks!

14. Stevish Says:
    January 18th, 2007 at 9:59 pm

    A relatively simple fix would be to add yet another stylesheet called ie7.css, and then in the header, add this right after the ie.css code (It looks almost identical to this):

    <!--[if gte IE 7]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
<?php include('ie7.css'); ?>
body { behavior:url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/csshover.htc"); }
</style>
<![endif]-->

    Then you can copy some stuff over from ie.css or stylesheet.css in order to play around with it until it looks good in IE7.

    And since I’m rather busy lately, I’d like to ask a favor of you. When you get it looking right, could you send me a copy of the ie7.css file you used? I would like to update my theme zip file.

    Thanks,
    -Steve

    Hey There Stevish:

    I too am one of those blathering idiots who would like to thank you profusely for your Green Theme. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Your hard work is very much appreciated by myself and many others. I have made a few changes to the basic color scheme and would like to invite you over for a look see. Let me know what you think.

    I do however; feel a little guilt about having a question for you about the PopOut menu. Hope you can tell me how to change the background colors. I have found where they are in the code but unfortunately I can only get them to change to a grey color. I have tried many times but have not made the Eureka! discovery yet. Any help here would be much appreciated.

    Back to business…I have perused your site and will definately be a regular visitor in the future. Again thank you for your theme. Soon.

    Joel

    Hey Joel,

    Well, it has been quite a while since I’ve messed with the code for that menu, and I’m not sure I want to stir up those memories quite yet. But the good news is, I think I know a site that will help. It’s the site that I got the code from originally. Here it is:

    http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/vertical/

    That will probably have the answer you’re looking for. If not, you can always try me again and maybe I’ll be in the mood to dig through the code again. I haven’t been in the mood for much with all the “me burning down the kitchen” going on around here.

    Sorry to ask what may be a dumb question. I have WordPress 2.1, does that mean this theme won’t work? I really like it.

18. Stevish Says:

    No, it should work fine in WP 2.1

    Hey Steve. You helped me design “Lonely Road” for my blog waaay back to WP 1.x.

    I was hoping if you could help me overhaul it now that WordPress 2.2 is out.

    Nine Shades of Green is fifteen shades of cool — thanks for a terrific theme.

    One problem, though: Strange things happen on the comments page if the title of the post is more than one line long.

    Example:

    Steve,

    Ok, I’ve looked at your site and come up with a simple fix. Just go in to the theme editor and click on the “Stylesheet” link. Scroll down in the code until you find this:

    .post h2, .post h2 a, .post h2 a:visited, .post h2 a:hover {
    color: #000;
    }

    Right after “color: #000;” add a new line that says “line-height: 1em;”

    And that should do it! That section should now look like this:

    .post h2, .post h2 a, .post h2 a:visited, .post h2 a:hover {
    color: #000;
    line-height: 1em;
    }

    -Steve

    ps. If you want to make the space between the lines larger or smaller, you can change the number to whatever suits your fancy (like 0.8, 1.2, 1.4, 2, etc…)

    Steve,
    I love 9Green!!! But I too am having an IE7 problem. I see a January comment above and am wondering wheather or not a fix was made and you updated your template. I just installed last week so am assuming I’ve got the latest greatest… Using wordpress 2.2
    My problem is here: patesplace.com
    What happened was I commented out the Meta Section in the sidebar and Firefox was fine but IE7 lost the content/text and the footers were wrecked too — sidebar was fine and meta gone as desired. When I went back and reinstated Meta section, Firefox was fine but IE7 remained unchanged, still messed up. (Yes I cleared my cache, and even rebooted my cable modem in case the provider was caching)–I even visited the page on another computer that had never visited the site before.
    Any thoughts or advice?

    Okay, now I feel really stupid seeing that the characters I typed in last message were interpreted as code and so do not appear in the message and so you’re wondering what is she talking about. I had used the “

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the cool theme!! I am a total novice to wp and no almost nothing about how to customize my blog but I’m trying to learn. I’m trying to add a CC license to my footer. This is how I have mangled it:

    And you can see (if you check my site) what it looks like. Not good. I would simply revert to the original but in my brilliance I neglected to save that code. Can you help?

    Hey Stevish, I got a 404 not found on every screen shot link on the above post. I am using firefox on a dell and have not had this trouble else where. I was trying to find out how to put a pick in the upper left on nine shades of green and to see if it would accept podpress so I could upload mp3 files and video content.

    Thanks
