The default width for the logo image in VB5 is only 320px, which may suit the VB logo itself, but doesn't help those wanting a bigger logo, the easiest and best way to do this is by altering the css, doing it this way means you don't mess up the rest of the header area.
You only need to complete two edits to one file.
Go to :
AdminCP>Styles and Templates>Style Manager
Once again edit the part in red to the same figure as the first.
One point to remember is that with the height and width set to "auto" the CSS will make you image "fit" the maximum width set.
Therefore if you plan to use a larger logo, it is best to design the logo to your maximum width, if you use a smaller image, it will appear pixelated when enlarged by the CSS.
Why don't you just add that to additional.css that wat it is safe from upgrades, when you have go revert the templates?
I tried the lower of the two on it's own through the additonal_css but it didn't work, so I went into css_global_css and found the two instances, didn't think to try adding them both to additional and trying it again ! :o
How do I get rid of the search bar next to the logo?
If you want to reduce the size of the visible text entry box use this :
/* reduce search box width from 168px to 120px or any size if you want */
.search-container .search-box .search-term { width: 120px; }
Hope this helps, thanks go to Wayne
thanks for sharing, worked perfectly on 5.2.6
This could be done using a product so would be carried over to all installed styles this is a quick one i created it lets you use the full width of the header upto 1600x200 px it also moves the search box down to the tabbar.
It has been tested on Vb5.2.6 upto Vb5.4.1
