Hi Larry:
I have analyzed the tape visual( its DIV) via the "Inspect Element"
feature of FireBug. Here is the result:
<div class="timeline-event-tape" style="left: 3148px; width: 205px;
top: 0.5px; background-color: green; opacity: 1;"/>
I saw the code where the tape height is set by the theme, but as you
can see the height is not in this DIV. The class:
.timeline-event-tape {height:4px;}
does contain the height but it is not overridden by the style that
follows it. Am I on the right track (no pun intended)?
Thanks
