PROBLEM 1
I use a background color for the Headings in the Featured Sections (and Featured Categories) zone.
The background color used to stretch to 100% of the column width. And the text would align center to the column width. They no longer do this. It seams the width of the background is determined by the text length. Am I missing a command or could someone provide the code and location in the news.css file.
Please download the extension again and reinstall. The new version has a bugfix for headings (section & category). If the problem persists please let me know.
Problem 2
I need to add more spacing between the Heading and the first Title of the Featured Section (and Featured Category) zones. Right now the first title too close to the Heading (not enough bottom Padding). If I add a thick border to the bottom of the header (same color as the page background) it should give me the spacing needed. It did in the earlier version. Right now the first title below the heading doesn't recognize the border is there - and it IS there. It just lays over the top of it. Is there a fix for this spacing issue? I'd prefer to not use an invisible border if possible.
Edit your "Heading" and set "Line height" with a higher value.
