The sub-theme inherits all of the customizations I've made to the UI.X theme. It doesn't look like the default UI.X theme, which is what I'm after. I essentially want to start over with the default UI.X theme. I'm just learning all of the theme styling options and have been stuck trying to get the navigation hover and active to look the way I want, and in the process have messed up other things. Now that I'm beyond frustrated I just want to wipe it all and start from scratch.

Well yeah you're not supposed to modify any of the UI.X styling, you're supposed to create a child theme and make any changes to that instead. Any updates on the UI.X trickle down automatically to your child theme and you know you can always reset a component back to UI.X defaults.
At this stage you'll have to remove the theme completely then add it again.

This is something XenForo lacks. And I use the term nicely as possible because the system is unbelievably awesome as is. But yes, there is no way to 'upgrade' style properties. The best way is to install fresh.
Even this way does not work the best, you would still have to revert some settings in UI.X. This is the recommended way, but even better is to install fresh than move your custom skin as a child of the new UI.X version.
Yes this should work well for you.
That looks like the style properties for member card.

Thanks guys, I just re-imported the style and started over and created a child of the UI.X style to modify.
Now, sorry for a noob question, but what is the correct way to try and add a 728x90 banner next to the logo? Would it be to modify the logo_block template and add in the css code there? Looks like the login box will overlap the banner ad if I do this. Should I add in some padding or margin to the header?

You can do that, or use ad_header.
In 1.3.0.0, we move this location next to the logo so it will be easier.

@Audentio is it possible to buy support to get help modifying the theme? If so, please PM me some info. I have some minor changes that I would like to fix, but I dont have the patience to ask at forums etc. to fix all this. And if I get help modifying stuff, will I be able to transfer the modifications to 1.3?

Yes I know, but there is no option for paying for JUST customization. I have paid for the theme allready

When you say use ad_header, you mean just post the ad code in the ad_header template? Looks like it would require some additional styling to make it show up next to the logo, right? If I want to maintain the responsiveness of the theme, what is the best way to go? I'd like it to work in a way that if a user browses the site on a mobile device the ad banner drops down below the logo. But on a desktop it displays next to the logo. I just want to use best practices here with both the theme and css.
Hi there, yes we are taking on hourly work. If you want to create a request with a list of everything you want done, I'll get you a quote!Yes I know, but there is no option for paying for JUST customization. I have paid for the theme allready
Well, yes you'd have to position it specially.
This is something we can build. The problem is that we would need to do a content check of some kind to see if you have code in the ad_header template so we can make sure it stays responsive. Not to mention we'd need to build some style properties settings so people can modify WHEN the banner breaks below the header.

Why is it that when I browse the site logged in as an admin that the changes I make to templates don't show up for me? I have to logout to see these changes. Sorry, probably something pretty simple that I missed. Still learning the nuances of XF and the plugins/themes.

Maybe I'll see about hiring you guys to do some of this layout stuff once I get the rest of the site settings worked out.
Did you do anything with conditions of some kind? Otherwise Im not sure

You personal profile default might be different than the site default. Even if you have all other styles disabled for users, I believe you can still select whatever you want as an admin. Check your Preferences -> Style and make sure it is set as the site default.

Yeah, that was it, forgot to reply here to say so. I'm an idiot.
