I need help!

I had pretty much gotten the hang of my old TiddlyWiki system.  For a number of reasons I needed to upgrade the system, and downloaded version 5.1.5.  I've put together a basic Wiki, but I just can't figure out how to set a few things up.  Ideally I'd like to get the new version to resemble the old version.  I can play with the fonts and colors.  But I can't seem to figure out how to:

Get the page name as a banner on top of the page.
Put an image in the this banner

If you look at the attached wiki old.png file you will see the effect I am aiming for.
But if you look at wiki new.png, I have not been able to figure out how to recreate the layout.

Can someone either recommend some good howto pages for this version that can show me how to set the way the page title shows on the page, or direct me to some sites online that I can use as models?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Zane,

If you tag a tiddler - containing your logo and text - with $:/tags/TopLeftBar, it will be displayed at the the top (fixed).
Then you can shift the story-river and Sidebar 50px downwards by putting the following in a tiddler tagged with $:/tags/Stylesheet

/* VERTICAL OFFSET FOR TOP OF TIDDLERS */

html
.tc-story-river {
     padding
-top: 0px;
     transform
: translate(0px, 92px);
     
-ms-transform: translate(0px, 92px);
     
-webkit-transform: translate(0px, 92px);
}

/* VERTICAL OFFSET FOR TOP OF SIDEBAR */

html
.tc-sidebar-scrollable {
     top
: 50px;
}

Adjust the shift to your liking by changing 92px (3x!) and 50px together so the tiddler title and wiki title stay aligned.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Hi Zane,

Sometime ago I did try that. It was in Danish and for Christmas. I think I have cleaned out most of the Danish stuff, not all the Christmas mess though. Just avoid using the tag jul :-D

Thank you Ton, I'll give that a try.  And thank you for the link!

I used the Down and Dirty way 'No Top Bar' at my site.
Added an image to the Control Panel

Not what you asked for but it may help.
Not sure if that will do the trick.

Let us know how you make out.
