As always, there are many ways in which to tailor the theme to your needs. This is the way I chose for myself.
The goal:
  • Change head/logo to suit my site.
  • Get rid of unrelated stuff like adds
  • Make the footer really simple
The first thing to do is to modify image /templates/rhuk_milkyway/images/mw_joomla_logo.png as this is where the actual title of your site is presented (in this case ComputingConfidence):
images/mw_joomla_logo.png
The dimension is 298x75 pixels and the background is transparent which suits the definition in /templates/rhuk_milkyway/css/template.css containing this:
div#logo {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
float: left;
width: 298px;
height: 75px;
background: url(../images/mw_joomla_logo.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
margin-left: 30px;
margin-top: 25px;
}
The original size is 765x100 pixels with solid background and rounded top corners here shown scaled down to 50%:
images/mw_header.jpg
The footer was very dominant and included a background picture neither of which I like.
The background picture is in /templates/rhuk_milkyway/images/ and can be excluded in the template.css file.
