hello,

analogy time, lol. remember when terminator melted outer "skin" in t1? , clanking frame of metal? think of template "skin" wrapped around "machine" or "framework" joomla! (if "break" template, joomla! live on).

with said, custom tweaks area of concern in order. make backup of template before start.

index.php file in template's root,
to add positions without changing original template's code or structure, create absolute positions so:

code: select all

    <?php if($this->countmodules('absolute1')) : ?>
   <div id="absolute1">
      <jdoc:include type="modules" name="absolute1" />
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>


and create css in template.css control it's position , z-index.
#absolute1{css here}

for template has existing position, try find this:

code: select all

               <?php if ($this->countmodules('top-left')) : ?>
               <div class="topbar-left-mod">
                  <jdoc:include type="modules" name="top-left" style="xhtml" />
               </div>
               <?php endif; ?>
               <?php if ($this->countmodules('top-right')) : ?>
               <div class="topbar-right-mod">
                  <jdoc:include type="modules" name="top-right" style="xhtml" />
               </div>
               <?php endif; ?>
            </div>


in example might perhaps find in template.css
#topbar-left-mod {} , need adjust accomodate more, wider, taller, et al.
