Apply mobile header styles at a different media query

[popowski]

The logo for the site I’m creating is wider than the Alyeska logo, so the header and the social icons begin crossing on top of at around 940px. Would it be possible for the logo, header, and social icons to begin stacking on top of each other when the browser screen is 960px wide? If so, how do I do it? If not, is there a better fix?

Hello,

Sure, you could probably do that. Just look in /assets/css/responsive.css, copy the CSS that applies to the header (under the mobile media query) to your Child theme’s custom.css and wrap it in a new media query that uses 960px as the max-width. — Does that make sense?

=========

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
