Forumhome Blending Issue

[Asi9ine]

Well, I am currently working on a style for a project with a friend. However, when I try to blend the 1st Alternating Colour, the 2nd AC and the Category and Table Header images, I find that I'm not getting anywhere.

Basically, I want those to blend into the Body, not the Page Background. I have created the images with about an 85-90 percent opacity, which should be enough to blend in with the Body. However, it blends into a neutral grey colour. It's not in any other colour in the table, so I'm having some difficulty here.

Should any of you understand what the hell I am talking about, let me know what I can do to solve it. I have no idea what to do.

I'm guessing you are using png files. If so - make sure that the browser supports png.

To blend with the body, your image must be positioned properly within it's block.

Let's say you have a table cell with white background and you want to blend the color blue to it ... top (blue) -> bottom (white).

Create an image that blends blue->white.
Don't worry about adding "opacity". It will not be needed if you blend it when editing it.

Now, you can position the background image to the top of the cell by using the following style:
background:#ffffff url(bluegrandient.png) top left repeat-x

Make sure the table cell has a white background color.
