I have tried a bunch of different things in the stylesheets.... vertical-align, margins, padding.... can't seem to make it move. Any ideas?
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
can you please tell us where you want to move the title?
For example with the following property you can move the header text 6 px to the right. (4px are defined in "standard")
.sideblock .header {
padding-left:10px
}
I hope this helps. Urs
I wanted to move it down to the bottom of the header part of the block.

Jeff, you can move the text down with:
.sideblock .header {
padding-top:7px;
padding-bottom:1px
}
These values keep the hight defined in the theme "standard" (all sides 4px). I tried the shown properties and they work in Moodle 1.5 beta.
The figure below shows the structure and naming of the sideblocks.
I wish you success. Urs
Thanks Urs!!!

WOW URS!!!, do you have more of these Moodle style overview schemes?
Hi Ger,
not yet. They are part of my learning style. When I have struktured and drawn something very complex I can remember it much better
Hi all,
I have exactly the opposite problem with only the RSS FEED sideblock - all the RSS header titles are pushed down (as shown in the capture below) and I want them sitting up like the rest on the page - it doesn't happen on any other sideblocks as you can see with the MESSAGES title...
This is using Himmat Singh's Blulines15 theme....
I can't find where I need to make an amendment (then again it could be staring me in the face and i wouldn't know I was looking at it) - any ideas??
Thanks
Kim
Hi Kim,
You could perhaps try adding the following code to a css file in your theme folder:
If the problem remains, please post a link to your Moodle site.

Hi Kim,
I looked at the CSS code of your site and saw that you are using an outdated CSS file for the RSS sideblock. This "title-bug" has been corrected some time ago. Which Moodle Version are you using. If it is not 1.5.2+ you should consider to update.
I hope that helps you go on with your site.

using Moodle 1.5 (2005060201) -
I have used Fantastico installer to set it up... it doesn't currently show an available upgrade... am a bit frightened about doing manual upgrade... could I fix it by replacing some folders or individual files??
Cheers
Kim
Kim, replacing single files of a Moodle installation is risky, you could break the module. But in your case to replace the CSS file should be ok. Please download "styles.php" from the Moodle CVS Repository and replace the file in moodle/blocks/rss_client/.
This "patch" will remove the block title offset.
Urs
Urs, made the change as suggested - styles.php - but doesn't seem to have an effect. Kim
Hi Kim,
Have you tried a forced refresh (Ctrl + F5)?

Hi Kim. Do a Control + F5 refresh on the browser when the theme is loading. The browser's probably still using the older css in its cache. Worked for my friend after I replaced his Moodle 1.5's styles.php.
Yes, that's the case... overlook the obvious! But now it's had an effect on the font in the RRS block display...
Helen, thank you very much. Great to know that anybody beside me is using "orangewhite"
By the way, are you and Andy working on a theme for Alton College Moodle which fits the wonderful design of your site? I would be very interested in being able to see it working. Do you see a chance to make it possible?
Urs
PS. If you would like to see more of my theme work - I am starting to build up a Moodle theme gallery. It's build on Moodle with different course designs and you can switch themes on the start page and in some courses.
Urs, thanks for your kind words and for your interest in our site. 
Yes, we've been developing an Alton College Moodle theme... at least Andy has been doing all the work - I've just been having fun learning lots of css!
You're very welcome to see inside - I'll send you a login.
Your Moodle theme gallery is amazing - a great place to pick up new ideas - thanks very much.

The theme was based on orangewhite, but unfortunately I lack the discipline to keep everything neatly organised in the separate CSS files – so things tend to end up in whichever file is closest to hand 
As a result everything is currently a bit of a mess – I need to go though all the CSS and clean it up a bit 
I like the moodle theme gallery, especially the Steinbeis Learning Center theme – I love the headings for the blocks on the right hand side

Urs is right the problem is not there in 1.5.2. The Feed block screenshot I've posted is from my local 1.5.2 installation. BUT today when I read Urs post recommending a trip to the CVS I got scared. SO here's what I did because I had a 1.5.2 installed on my local PC. I opened my friend's remote server's Cpanel..then made my way to his remote Moodle 1.5's folder..then to the blocks folder there..then to the rss_client folder in the blocks folder..in the rss_client folder I uploaded and overwrote the file styles.php with the same file from my local 1.5.2's rss_client folder. It worked!! Now the RSS feed title in my friend's remote Moodle 1.5 doesn't get pushed down. Caution: if you're not familiar with Cpanel and other remote server operations refrain from doing this yourself!!
Hi Urs...
I changed, with your explanations... but I have a little problem... I can not to change the text (font) color in sideblock header.... Can you help me please..??
