Nick, I was trying out Athena and it looks great in FF and IE. I changed a few opacity settings. Then I wanted to see about Safari 3 Beta and Opera on Windows. In both of those browsers I foubd with the opacity settings turned down I could barely see the text and it is not clickable. When I check nbdev.co.uk in both of those browsers I don't see any menu items and nothing can be clicked.

This is by design in Athena, to reduce the loading of PNG transparent images.  The transparent images put a load on the server unnecesserily when you can use CSS to sort of get the same effect.

 Nick, then I'll need some help here. I set the transparency back to 255 but still no menu items. How do you get Athena to work with Safari and Opera? Or does this require going into some CSS file and making changes?

Rick

 Wow, a blank navigation bar, that shouldn't be happening, Athena's opacity shouldn't cause that.  I'll have to check it out in opera.  I'm a Firefox/IE user.

Ok fixed it.

Open

~/Themes/Athena/Style/Common.css

Change the following lines:

 

120: #AthenaMenu li { float: left; white-space: nowrap; overflow: visible; line-height: 31px; height: 31px; padding: 0; margin: 0; position: relative;  }
125: #AthenaMenu li#leader, #AthenaMenu li#trailer { position: static; background: #017fb0 url(../images/Athena/Navigation.png) repeat-x left top; }
127: #AthenaMenu li#trailer { float: none; display: block; }

This will fix it.  Or should do 

 Thanks Nick. That did it in both Opera 9 and Safari 3.02 for Windows. While I do everything in FF and IE I always try and check the other browsers to make sure I don't get complaints from users. Now that I have it up and running properly I've shifted my site over to Athena. I want to remove the "powered by stuff" at the bottom. I saw someplace on your site about contribution to do that but couldn't find it again. What's the contribution process and then you can tell me offline how to remove the line.

Visit http://www.nbdev.co.uk/ThemeShop/Athena/Default.aspx.

It's £5 ~ $11.  Payments via paypal.

If it doesn't work, let me know 

Seeing as you are running athena in a sub directory, you might want to get the attached dll.  It contains a fix for the background image handler.

 Nick, it didn't seem to work. I got transferred to PayPal but when I went through the process and 'checkout out' of PayPal I was transferred back to a Cart page with another Pay button on it. When I clicked that button I got the error below. I check my PayPal account and the charge is listed as PENDING. Let me know what I need to do to get the Master.master page.

Right need you to hit F5 on that page. It should work now.

Don't know why the paument is pending

 Nick, I sent you an email from the Contact link a few days ago with the PayPal information about the donation. Get back to me about it please.

Rick 

For some reason your payment is still pending.  Which is worrying.  You should be able to download a zip file from the theme shop that has the instructions enbeded into the master.master page.
