[now I'm just back to needing to replace the logo in here...but no more overlaid logo lol]
So, I'm trying to replace the default logo in Beez 20. I downloaded personal2.png, made a new logo with exactly the same dimensions, uploaded it to the same place. It looks as though the new one has been overlayed somehow on top of the old one! :-/ But the new one is shifted to the right! :-O Is there a place I can download Beez 20 to reinstall it? Or is there another way to fix this madness? I'm a tech and normally into this kind of thing, but in their effort to make things simple for non-nerds I think Joomla has made it hard for those of us used to modifying things with a text editor lol.

Also can anybody recommend a nice clean easy to modify template which just has a logo/custom html area at the top, a menu area underneath, then modules on the left, articles in the middle, and more modules on the right? Preferably GPL?

Hi neutrino78x and welcome to the forum!

You should find the template files in your Joomla! installation package. Just copy the files from the package over the old ones.

There certainly is :) However, we cannot see what you see so we can't tell you what to do exactly.

Have a look at "Keep It Simple" -> http://www.templateworks.net/our-templa ... -it-simple.

Ah good point, so I made a screen capture, I redacted some proprietary stuff (it's a business project).

You see the blue beez 20 logo? and another overlaid on top, the white square? The redacted areas are part of the logo, but I think you can see what is happening. :-)

I'll check out that other template you mentioned... :) Tried Purity II, it worked for a while but then I discovered the difficulty of removing the frog image on the right at the top, argh.

Yeah, I can see what you mean but still I cannot see the CSS code responsible for doing that (and no, sending the css-files will not help).
So I strongly suggest that you start getting acquainted with CSS and start using firebug (https://getfirebug.com/) for debugging and inspecting.

Ah, I don't have firebug installed, but Firefox 13.0.1 has similar functionality with Inspect Element (in the context menu). I saw that there was a second copy of the logo image in another place, how it got there I'm not sure lol, but I deleted it and that fixed it. So your advice helped! However, the "we are volunteers" logo still has not gone away, even after personal2.png replaced by my own logo file. same filename, same resolution. :-/ at least the overlay text (company name) is there.

How do you get the overlay text to be mixed case instead of all caps? Actually "small caps" would be the best.

small = {text-transform: lowercase;}
big = {text-transform: uppercase;}
capital = {text-transform: capitalize;}
