logo + text header

[Jollyriffic]

finally getting a chance to update some of the theme.
would like my logo and text header on the page, not one or the other.
i'm using flat awesome +, how would i go about that?

additionally, i dont think this is part of the theme settings, but cant seem to figure out where to remove this. could swear it was a checkmark box somewhere. in short its the website title that you can activate under the navigation

Borgan over at xenforo helped me with the second part
code for that is

.forum_list .titleBar { display: none; }

not sure if there's an actual option in the flatawesome to uncheck, but for anyone wondering.

@Russ any way to do this?

So logo to the left and the text based logo loaded just to the right of the logo next to each other correct?

 

[Jollyriffic]

Yes

Open logo_block, you'll need to change this portion:

               <a href="{$logoLink}">
                   <span><xen:comment>This span fixes IE vertical positioning</xen:comment></span>
                   <xen:if is="@xb_logoastext">
                   @xb_logotext
                   <xen:else />
                   <img src="@headerLogoPath" class="desktopLogo" alt="{$xenOptions.boardTitle}" />
                   <xen:if is="@xb_mobile_logo"><img src="@xb_mobile_logo" class="mobileLogo" alt="{$xenOptions.boardTitle}" /></xen:if>
                   </xen:if>
               </a>

To this:

               <a href="{$logoLink}">
                   <span><xen:comment>This span fixes IE vertical positioning</xen:comment></span>
                   <xen:if is="@xb_logoastext">
                   <img src="@headerLogoPath" class="desktopLogo" alt="{$xenOptions.boardTitle}" /> @xb_logotext
                   <xen:if is="@xb_mobile_logo"><img src="@xb_mobile_logo" class="mobileLogo" alt="{$xenOptions.boardTitle}" /></xen:if>
                   </xen:if>
               </a>

Should work, make sure you leave the text based logo style property enabled.

sweet!
i'm color blind so the green kind of doesn't stand out well over that header background for me, but i'm pretty happy with that.
Also updated the title to this font to give it a bit more weight https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Russo+One?selection.family=Russo+One

Thanks for the help

Looking good , you could always add a slight background color just to the logo area to make it stand out a little:

#logo {
    background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.78);
    padding-right: 15px;
}

was playing around with that code a little and it gave me another idea.
i ended up just taking the image, throwing a white layer on it with a 40% transparency.
This solved another issue where the play/twitch and rss buttons were sort of looking funky due to the background.
looks like it sort of also blends in better with the snow on the navigation, making it seem a little more 3 dimensional.
i'm going to miss this look when winter is over so amazing!

Sorry if I just gave you more work

Hey @Russ this is missing in my dark theme, how do i go about adding it

 

[Jollyriffic]

scratch that, i was in header not xb header.. too tired
did a little graphic update on the black theme.
need to figure out why some of my awesome fonts on the forums are white and some are black.. that's annoying me a bit.
update: figured it out, the awesomefont on all posts is the same for both read and unread now.
here's the gif of it http://unitedstreamers.net/dark.gif

Yeah. Never noticed how I didn't have them all the same before
Theres a few tweaks I need to do but wow. I'm loving it. So easy-to-use and a few small edits it looks way different
