    also i would like to associate a different miniicon for external/internal links in the wikipages, i was able to find the class of the wikilinks in the css, and i changed their color, but it was impossible to associate a background image...

    Hi,
    I think banners are meant to be used for adds. I don't think that modifying header.tpl is dangerous. Except if you know Smarty you can't make it do "dangerous" things. The only protection you need is testing. If template compilation fails, it will be obvious, you'll rollback to the shipped version and try again 😉

    My advice for editing header.tpl is go for it!!
    And, if in doubt, you can always just drop raw html in there.
    Although SMARTY does have some cool features.

    I use a custom header.tpl and top_bar.tpl on my site and think its much improved as a result.

    Hi,

    The width should really be controlled through the CSS file. There are already various width in there already and changes are the CSS one will override something you have locally.

    Dont modify the header.tpl, that file doesnt contain the top logo.

    tiki-top_bar.tpl is the correct one to modify
    and
    tiki-top is the main class in the CSS files that you would want to "width"

    Come and find me if you need more info, if you click my name below, there are links to many sites running Tiki that I've made custom styles for.

    At the moment i modified successyfully the header.tpl, the result is Here, (...when i will have more time i will make a better header acording to the Damian's instructions) always editing directly the header.tpl whit a normal html, works good....

    Bye and thanks to all you..
