I am trying to get a short product title listed above or below each product that I have in the tree (along the left side).

Right now I can only get their images uploaded and displaying.
When I go into the Advanced Administration I have the products listed under:

Store> Category> Product ABC
then a 2nd Product
Store>Category> Product BCA

This seems to allow me to get the pictures in that I want and I was able to get one small footer in for one of the products.

How do I:
1. Keep the products listed in a tree format but get their product names listed above each picture?

2. Navigation bar: how do I modify the navigation bar to include or exclude certain buttons on the bar?

3. Navigation bar: how do I modify the navigation bar colors? Button colors?

With your current setup, you can't. You can either have an image or text in the category tree.

My suggestion, replace those images with images that have text along the top.

Or, other options include hard coding your own category tree, where you can control the images and add text links too.

The category tree was never designed to display products, it was designed to display categories.

The nav bar, you can remove buttons by going to your Images tab from Store -> Storename, Images Tab and replacing the existing button with graphics/en-US/admin/blank.gif.

You can also replace the buttons with your own images.

Or best solution, install OpenUI (http://tinyurl.com/mec58) and turn off the exisiting navigation bar and replace it with your own in the global header.

The simplest answer is to add the product name in the graphic itself. Otherwise you would need to start investing in add on modules starting with OpenUI.

As for the navigation bar, you can upload your own images, and change the colors under the >Stores >your store name link.
