Good afternoon all. Easy question for you: I am using the new 3 Column comicpress and I can't find the area on the stylesheet to change the font color/size on the menubar (Home, Links, archives, etc.). Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

To change the attributes of the pre-hover style of your menu links, edit here:

Code:
#menu {
   color: #999;
   font-size: 12px;
   text-transform: uppercase;
   }


and here:

Code:
#menu li a {
      height: 25px;
      padding: 0 5px 0 5px;
      display: block;
      float: left;
      color: #aaa;
      line-height: 25px;
      text-decoration: none;
      border-width: 0 1px 0 0;
      border-style: solid;
      border-color: #aaa;
      }


To customize the hover style (if desired), edit here:

Code:
#menu li a:hover {
      color: #fff;
      background: #333;
      }

What if you have a custom font you want to use that probably isn't already on WordPress/ComicPress? Any way to get those into the system, then alter the Menu/Navigation bars to read with those?

i've been told to do this you need to use photoshop, or another program and make them gifs or jpgs. and then link it all together, however iam at this point and have no clue what to do next.

I see..

Well, I managed to adjust the font well enough, but there's a quirk.

I have a button on the Menu bar that clicks directly to my Forum, and I did that by making a page and putting <a href="forum url">Forum</a href> as the title. The button that reads FORUM does click directly to the message board, but before that on the bar, there is a very small button with no text, the ALT text <a href="http://maitown.proboards107.com/index.cgi">Forum</a href>, and that clicks to an actual page on the website. And it stretches out my menu bar.

Anyone know how to get rid of that, but keep the direct link?[/url]

unless i missed it somewhere i would imagine folks would like a link to see what your talking about.
also anyone that might be reading this. i want to have my menu bar with images, is there an easy step by step i might have missed? i did do a search but i didn't really come up with anything helpful. i have the buttons/images already created, and put in my image folder, but not sure what to do next.
thanks in advance
and hope you get the answers you need helen.
