    If you know how to work with css you can do it. Get a css plugin. I like Live CSS Preview:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/live-css-preview/

    Once the plugin is installed and activated a new menu item will be displayed in the new WordPress 3.4.1 Customize area:

    Admin Panel > Appearance > Themes > Customize

    Customize is the first link to the right of the image of the currently installed theme.

    Live CSS will be at the bottom of the list in Live CSS. In the window that displays when you click Live CSS you would enter:

    #container {
    background:
    }

    In the space following background: , enter the hex number for whatever color you want proceeded by a # and followed by a ;

    You will probably need to add some padding by adding:

    padding: 5px;

    following the ; of the background entry.

    Hope this helps.

    P.S. If you aren’t familiar with css, you should start to learn by inspecting the page elements with something like Firebug for Firefox or the built in inspector available with a right click on a webpage with Chrome.

    The images that you are displaying in the slider are the featured images of posts, so what you are really wanting to do is order the post. To do that, use a post order plugin such as Post Types Order:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-types-order/

    Once the plugin is installed and activated, a new item called “Re-Order” will show up in the Posts menu section of the Admin panel. From there you can drag the posts with the images that are displaying in the slider to whatever order you want them in.

    Yes, you use the redirect section, below where you edit the post, to redirect the posts to the pages you want displaying on the slider.

    To set which posts display in the slider so that they are permanent, in other words, they do not change when you publish new posts, use a plugin such as WP Filter Post Category:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-filter-post-categories/

    Then, create a category, such as “slider,” and in the plugin settings page, select only the category “slider” to show on the the home (or post) page. Then assign the posts that you want in the slider (in this case, the posts you have redirecting to pages) to that category.

    For the comments, try the Disable Comments plugin:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disable-comments/

    Of course, what is under the slider is a menu; but if you are talking about something more traditional you will need to get creative with coding, both to hide or move the existing menu, or to create or place a new menu somewhere else. I initialized a widget area (sidebar) just below the header, and placed a menu widget in it.

    gavintfn; WOW… a few tiny changes made such a big difference in the look of my slider. Thank you so much!

    Your site(s) look spectacular; you are obviously a very talented designer.

    I did some searching for your walkthrough on moving and designing a drop down menu but was unable to find it.

    I agree, consolidating my items into, say, 4 major content areas would make the navigation much cleaner. And placing it up in or around the header would be ideal.

    Your drop down on the test site is beautiful, with the changing colors of the words, translucent background of the drop down area, and, of course, everything bouncing.

    I cannot do that myself (at least not yet ;), but I will be looking into other options. If you could at some point repost the directions on how to do that sometime, it would be much appreciated.

    Unlike the style.css file in a child theme, which can override the parent .css file, the functions.php file of the child theme does not override the parent functions.php file by default.

    The purpose of the functions.php file in a child theme is simply to add functionality to the child theme so that those functions will not be overwritten when the parent theme is updated. But these are always new (or added) functions, not overriding functions.

    It is possible to override the parent functions.php file, but it requires specific code to be written in both the parent (to cancel [or unhook] the function) file and child (to initiate the new hook and override call to the hook that has been canceled in the parent file) file; and these canceling calls need to be written in different ways depending of how the parent function is called.

    The functions.php file is the single most powerful file in a WordPress theme, and you can bring your whole site down if something is amiss there.

    I was able to make the box smaller then the default value, but not larger by changing the size values in the colorbox settings. Once I tried to set it larger than the 900px by 600px default, I saw no change in size of the box.

    When (if) you are ready to dig into tackling these code changes, here are a few (relatively) entry level articles about how to approach it:

    Daniel, I must take the time to thank you for this wonderful theme. When I couldn’t make my 12 images display the way I wanted them to on a single page, I toyed with using the Sliding Door theme, but I kept returning to your Minimatica theme because of it’s simple beauty and elegance; and I’m so glad I did.

    Your work and generosity is much appreciated!

    gavintfn; Thank you for taking the time to write those detailed instructions. Without that information, I would not have had a clue as to what to look for.

    Using those directions, it did indeed shrink the individual images, but it did not change the number of images, so I still had 4, now narrower images in the center of the first page with the arrow pointing to the next page on the right side of the screen.

    But with the info you gave I found another instance of “posts_per_page” in functions.php. Bingo! This overrides the default value of images per page. The only other thing I needed to change was the width setting of the .kwicks .slide section of the Stylesheet (style.css), and I was done.

    I did not need to make any changes to the #ajax-content or #slides settings; in fact when I did, the expanded image did not display properly, cutting of either side of the images off along with the included text.

    So in short, here is how I changed the number of images displayed on a single page of the image gallery:

    Go to the Theme Functions (functions.php)

    Find the section that looks like this:
    * Overrides the default posts_per_page value when viewing in gallery mode
    * This prevents the 404 flag from being triggered when using query_posts() with pagination
    * It does not alter the database value for the option, only fiters it when the posts query is called
    *
    * @since Minimatica 1.0
    */
    function minimatica_paged_posts( $query ) {
    if( (
    ( $query->is_home() && ‘gallery’ == minimatica_get_option( ‘homepage_view’ ) ) ||
    ( $query->is_category() && ‘gallery’ == minimatica_get_option( ‘category_view’ ) ) ||
    ( $query->is_tag() && ‘gallery’ == minimatica_get_option( ‘tag_view’ ) ) ||
    ( $query->is_author() && ‘gallery’ == minimatica_get_option( ‘author_view’ ) ) ||
    ( $query->is_archive() && ‘gallery’ == minimatica_get_option( ‘archive_view’ ) )
    ) && ( ! is_single() )
    )
    $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, ‘4’ );
    }

    Change the number 4 in: $query->set( ‘posts_per_page’, ‘4’ ); to whatever number of images you want to display (in my case 12; yes, I was able to get 12 images to display very nicely).

    Then go to: Stylesheet (style.css)

    Find the section that looks like this:

    .kwicks .slide {
    float:left;
    display:block;
    width:230px;
    height:410px;
    overflow:hidden;
    -moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 30px #000;
    -webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 30px #000;
    box-shadow:0 0 30px #000;

    Adjust the width from 230px to find what makes it look right, lowering the number for more images, and increasing it for fewer images.

    You can find how it turned out for me at:

    Hope this helps.
