---+!! PatternSkinCssCookbook Recipe: Hide the top bar

*This recipe shows how to hide the top bar and to put the logo in the left bar.*

<div class="twikiHelp">
This line loads the extra style definition:
<verbatim>
   * Set USERSTYLEURL=%ATTACHURL%/notopbar.css
</verbatim>
You can write this line in %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiPreferences, in WebPreferences, in your user topic or on a single page.
</div>

Add the dynamic variable link to the logo image to the topic text:
<verbatim>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
#patternLeftBar { background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%WEBPREFSTOPIC%/logo.gif"); }
</style>
</verbatim>
<div class="twikiHelp">
%ICON{info}% If you don't write this overloading style in a template and use an external =.css= file, you need to set the image to the absolute url:
<pre>
&lt;style type="text/css" media="all">
#patternLeftBar { background-image:url("<nop>%PUBURLPATH%/<nop>%WEB%/<nop>%WEBPREFSTOPIC%/logo.gif"); }
&lt;/style>
</pre>
You can always write a =&lt;style>= in a topic - all current browsers support this - but the page won't validate as valid XHTML.
</div>

<style type="text/css" media="all">
#patternLeftBar { background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%WEBPREFSTOPIC%/logo.gif"); }
</style>
