Hi,

I am trying to change the color of the top banner/ head section of my website http://www.powerredblog.com to red color from grey/black. I read somewhere that we should change bg.png. But this is an image file, where do I change the color? I also tried to change the color through the CSS files, but I guess I am not doing it right. Can you please help me?
Thank you very much.

Hey,
the background (+ its color is an image file): http://powerredblog.com/wp-content/themes/newscast/images/skin1/bg.png
You can download the file and modify it with Photoshop or Gimp - then upload it again.

Hi Dude,
Thank you for the quick reply.. I tried it and it worked! :-) I have another question: What should the size of the pictures in the newscast accordion slideshow be? in pixels? Thank you.

Hey,
Kriesi uses 700px x 320px images in the demo (so I think the slider is layed out for this size).

Hi Dude,
I have a quick question.. My site is http://powerredblog.com/ and it has an accordion slider.
1. There is a semi-transparent summary of the post on each slide, which covers most of the image.. How do I reduce the width of the summary on each slide?
Thank you very much for your help.

I mean to reduce the height of the summary.. so that only the title of the post is visible. :-)

Hey,
add following code to style.css (at the very bottom). Adjust the height value to your needs:
```
.slidercontent{
display: none !important;
}

.feature_excerpt{
height: 100px !important;
}
```
