The following is a step by step guide to customising your Synapse logo image by replacing the logo text with your own organization or company's name and logo. In order to utilise the Fireworks Source PNG included with the Synapse template release, you will need Adobe Fireworks. The 30-day free trial of this software as well as more information is available here at the Adobe website.Customising Your LogoOne of the first steps of customising your new Synapse template will undoubtedly be altering the logo text to reflect the name of your company / organization. RocketTheme makes this process a simple one by including both the Source PNG for the template, as well as font(s) used. The most effective way to customise the logo is to use the included Source PNG file. When opened in Adobe Fireworks, this file contains all of the Layers in the design allowing you to tweak and change any of the image elements of the template design. The following steps will help you quickly get your new logo ready to go: Step 1First, open the header Source PNG file in Adobe Fireworks (source_main.png). On the right side, you will notice a taskbar named Layers. Inside this column, a list of elements within the source will appear, divided into folders. The first is Web Layers which controls the green slices on the page that are used to export the images. Click the eye which is immediately left to the folder name Web Layers to make it invisible. This allows use to edit the logo.
Step 2Next, double click on the logo which should be position in top-centre. This will activate the text tool so you can edit the element. Highlight the entire text box with your cursor and type your text instead(such as your company name.)  Step 3Once you have edited the logo to your personal preference, you will need to turn off the "Background" layer to give the logo transparency. On the right column where the Web layers area is, we need to reactivate it. As you did in the initial step, select the eye icon to make it visible and subsequently making the slices visible on the canvas. Select the logo slice, either on the canvas itself or in the Web Layers folder. If you find the slice is too small, hover your cursor the blue points around the slice and drag it to a new size Step 4To export your logo, right click on the green slice that is situated above your new logo. A popup menu should appear with numerous options. The value we want to deal with is "Export Selected Slice...". As the name suggests, this option will export/save this slice only out of the entire source window.
Step 5If you are new to Fireworks, you may be wondering why it appears that there is only one style variation in the source. This is not the case as we take advantage of the Frame features of Fireworks. You need to simply switch frames to see all the other style variation sources. In the right column where you find the Layers toolbar including the Web Layers area, you should see another tab/toolbar named Frames. Just left click on the title Frames to enter the frames area. Then you can click on either of the frames which are named to show which style variant is on that particular frame.  The second method is the most easiest and simplistic. At the bottom of the Fireworks canvas is a row of buttons, arrows just as previous and next. Select the arrows to switch between frames.  Step 6Once you have successfully edited then exported your new logo, you will need to upload it to your server. This process is best done via a FTP client such as Filezilla

 | What do you prefer? Email or messenger pigeon?As you know, both have their pros and cons - and in the quickly evolving world of n3w.media, either is widely accepted.
