rxa165 Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Please help, i have tried everything but i can't figure out how to get rid of the grey tips on my info box heading. You can see in the attached picture the heading is orange on both the sides however there is that grey gif image that wont change color and is totally killing the look of the page. Any ideas how to get rid of it or change its color to orange?!?!? Please help!!! thanks
equilla Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Hi, those are .gif images - you will need to edit them in an image editing program (such as Photoshop, etc) to recolour them as required.

Regards, Mark The simple fix is to make them transparent and then you can change colours at will. Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!! You did do a backup? eh?

tina_boots Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 This sounds like great advice, could you kindly explain how you go about making them transparent? Thanks You'll need a image application such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Fireworks etc. You need the correct dimensions of the image, which you may determine by checking the properties of the image file or opening it up in your image application and looking at the image size. Create a new image with the same dimensions and the background as transparent. Then you must save it as a gif file in order to preserve the transparency. All that being said however is the fact the reason an image is used in this specific instance is to achieve the rounded corner. Some you cannot achieve by only setting the back ground color of the table cell. So if the rounded image is important, all you need to do is open the image again in your favorite image editor, tap it with your magic wand, select the color you desire, and them splash it with the paint bucket :) Be well, Tina If you're not having fun you're not doing it right Teach a person to fish rather than give them a loaf of bread or however that saying goes.
