Ok how do I turn the icons back on in the convirtable theme? I read on the old forun that you turned them off ???
Also another thing I noticed is in the docs you say to edit this line of code
$THEME->sheets = array('styles_default', 'styles_extras', 'styles_globe');
but when I went to edit the 'styles_extras' was not there? should I put this code back in - what does it do?
Also I have the assignment theme selected and it is all messed up in the chatroom part because the top half of the chat is the blackish background and the bottom half is white so you cant read some text if you are chatting.
Thanks
JesseGreat theme by the way my client loves it :) EASILY worth the price

You must be confused - I've not turned off any icons in the Convertible themes.
Styles_extras.css is explained at the bottom of /DOCUMENTATION/readme.html. It is extra and should only be included in the above array if you intend to use it.
I will adjust the documentation to prevent future confusion. Thank you.
I do not remember testing the chat feature since this theme is now some months old. I will investigate this and will let you know any fixes that I find.

Ok I have this post in both forums but we can just do it in the new ones.
Maybe I am saying the wrong things so I made a print screen of the solstice theme and circled the "icons" that I am talking about.

now here the convertible theme and Ive circled the same area with no "icons"

Now I got you.
Remove:
.sideblock li .icon img, .sideblock .list .c0,from lines 243 - 244 in styles_default.css.

Ok thanks that fixed it for me :)
Last thing I have is still trying to get the logo on the colored background. This is what you say to do:
# Add your logo between h1.headermain and div.headermenu using PHP to designate a relative path to your logo.
<h1 class="headermain"><?php echo $heading ?></h1>
<img src="<?php echo $CFG->themewww .’/’. current_theme() ?>/pix/logo.jpg" />
<div class="headermenu"><?php echo $menu ?></div>Ok now my logo is png file so I changed that and I edited the css file but nothing shows up. I just copy and pasted this line
<img src="<?php echo $CFG->themewww .’/’. current_theme() ?>/pix/logo.jpg" />
was I supposed to edit some of these things? -

I can be most helpful if I can see your site with the modification you are attempting. Do you have a link for me?

I'm guessing that you cut and pasted the code directly from my site, rather than typing it in yourself. This sometimes causes issues with quotation marks. Try deleting the following and retyping it manually:
<img class="logo"Also, something I've just caught is that you have misspelled "convertible" and you are missing a slash between theme and convertible in the following:
"http://www.top-english.ch/class/themeconvirtible/pix/logo.png"It should read:
"http://www.top-english.ch/class/theme/convertible/pix/logo.png" -

I don't use Chat too often, so I'm unsure how it should look. However, this seems to do the trick (you'll have to tell me):
body.mod-chat-gui_header_js, .mod-chat-gui_header_js #wrap-inside, .mod-chat-gui_header_js #wrap-outside, body.mod-chat-gui_basic, .mod-chat-gui_basic #wrap-inside, .mod-chat-gui_basic #wrap-outside { background:none; }Just drop that code into the bottom of styles_default.css.

Hello!
Anyone using the new "Envy" theme that also wants to view the icons, here's the few changes you need to make to the styles_default.css file:
Comment out these lines:
.sideblock.content ul li img.icon{
}So that the code looks like this:
/**
.sideblock.content ul li img.icon{
}
**/----------------------------------------
If you turn on the icons by commenting out the above code, you will want to copy over these image icons from the moodle/pix/i folder to your theme/envy/pix/i folder as they are missing from the envy folder:approve.gif
calendar.gif
lock.gif
mahara_host.gif
mean.gif
outcomes.gif
unlock.gifAND you'll wnat to copy the "edit.gif" icon from the envy/pix/f folder to the envy/pix/i folder to display the editing icon in the admin sideblock menu list (and match the rest of the envy theme icons).
It'd be great, actually, if these were added to future envy theme packs. There's also a typo I believe on one of the icons in the envy/pix/i folder: "lo.gif" I think should be "lock.gif", but I could be wrong. ;)
----------------------------------------
Other changes you may want to make depending up what side blocks (3rd party) you add to your courses:
scroll to the ***Sideblocks*** section of the code and look for this list:
.block_site_main_menu ul li,
.block_participants ul li,
.block_course_list ul li,
.block_activity_modules ul li,
.block_blog_menu ul li{
line-height:0;Add lines to the code for the specific new blocks you've installed, for example, I loaded the YUI Menu block to my Moodle installation (it creates a course menu). So, I had to add this line to the above code for the style sheet to effect this block:
.block_yui_menu ul li,
So that the block of code became:
.block_site_main_menu ul li,
.block_participants ul li,
.block_course_list ul li,
.block_activity_modules ul li,
.block_yui_menu ul li,
.block_blog_menu ul li{
line-height:0;I also recommend adding
.block_admin_tree ul li,
to this code too, if you want the "Administration" block that appears in courses to have the same styles applied to it.
----------------------------------------
Cheers!

I just think I should mention that the icons are hidden as a feature, not a bug. The goal of the Envy theme was to remove some of clutter that, I think, boogers up the page.
With that said, I have not removed any icons from the pix folder, so I will definitely have to look into the missing icons issue you've reported. If they are missing, they will be replaced in the next version.
Also, commenting out the following (410 - 414):
.sideblock .content ul li img.icon { display:none; }without removing (417):
display: block;may be what is causing your issue here.

Thank you Patrick!
Yes! That worked! (Removing this extra layer of code.) YES! Thank you!
Also, I do understand that it is intentional the icons do not appear. I respect this and understand its intentional design. I've added the icons back to our theme for training/usability purposes for those Moodlers at our institution who are accustomed to the icons and for student association by icon to activity. I appreciate clean user interfaces and usability enhancements, too, but sometimes there's compromise to meet other needs, depending upon each use case and audience. This said, I've found your themes to be VERY visually appealing as well as being functional and easy to tweak. THANK YOU!

Ok I havent posted here in a while but what you told me didn't seem to do anything to the chat.
The problems is that the background is two-toned. If it was all white (or the second half of the background image) that would even work ok.
