1. I want to change the background color of the search box and it's font color to something else. The background of the search box is style in ATO>Style FORMS. You can create your own background image or delete the reference to a background image and use a background-color in the Form Field:Style box
2. I want to get rid of the two weird white bars that appear at the top and at the bottom (not in the screenshot) of my posts, or just change their color to something dark, possibly the same color as my main site. Check in Next/Previous Navigation for a couple of them. I forget where the one at the very top is but check through the various "Style" areas.
3. Even though I put that image with a transparent background in my post, it showed up with a white background there. How can I fix it? Look in ATO>Style IMAGES
4. I'd like to get the text to appear next to the image, while being in the center of it. Also, possibly about 10px right from it. Align the image left when inserting it and then play with the margins. I sometime use margin-right:10px for example on a right aligned image.

Screenshot.

I'd be extremely grateful if someone could help me with these 4 problems that I have.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I still have a few problems left.

I could not manage to find the settings for one of the white bars. I could change the top one's top one, but not the top one's bottom one. It did not have that setting by default, and by adding it, nothing changed. Poking around elsewhere, I didn't seem to find it either.

The second thing, is that I still haven't figured out how to get the text appear a few paragraphs lower, so it would be in the middle of the image, when I type.

Screenshot.

Without a link to your site it's kind of hard to determine an answer but this screenshot may be the solution. The text alignment is is one of those html things you have to twiddle with. Sometimes what I do is just hit Enter a few times to move the text down. Not very elegant but it works.

Thank you. That screenshot helped me to fix the problem.

However, when I press enter a few times and try to save, it "removes" them, bringing the text back to the original place.

And if a link would help, here you go.

And when I use <br />, it ignores them completely.

I sort of though that might happen. I should have tested before I sent the suggestion. Another way to accomplish that is to go into the HTML editor and put the following between the image code and the text that comes after it. You can tweak the height til it works.

HTML Code:

<hr style="height:10px; border:none;" />

You can also use tables for this type of stuff but that gets more complex.

Hmm, I decided to use tables instead, and I'm having a small problem with that. Even though I changed the background color for the table (or at least I thought I did), it still remains white (not pure white, actually some white code that I do not see anywhere on the settings page).

Anyway, when I changed the hover background, it works fine. Yet, I want to disable hovering and want it to be displayed with the right background color right from the start.

Any help on where exactly can I change that?

Same page as an example.

I would experiment with the settings in ATO>Style TABLES such as turn off the hover.

Thank you. I looked around in the settings before, but it seems like it was the zebra option.
