Various Drupal themes now use the excellent Superfish dropdown menu navigation, including Pixturerr. But if you then customise the theme such as adding a frontpage with RELATIVE elements you can find (as in the picture) that the dropdows appear BEHIND other elements, in good old Microsoft Internet Explorer!. This is what I did to resolve the issue.
go to admin/build/themes/settings/pixturerr
we need to set the color set back to Girly Pink default
IMPORTANT - before you do this make a note of the current color set - if this is one of the standard just note that - if you have created a custom one write down its settings.
> Girly Pink default > [Save configuration]
now - in file (not internet) browser go to
sitesallthemespixturerr
open page-front.css in say notepad
alter
#header {
height:120px;
margin:0 0 0px;
padding:0;
}to
#header {
height:120px;
margin:0 0 0px;
padding:0;
z-index:2;
}and
#top {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0%;
position:relative;
width:765px;
height:160px;
}to
#top {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0%;
position:relative;
width:765px;
height:160px;
z-index:1;
}save and upload the new file (keeping a backup of the old page-front.css)
refresh the browser and ensure it is working how you want - if ok
back to admin/build/themes/settings/pixturerr and set to your blue theme
done!
