View Full Version : Background color?
How do I make cool background color (gradient) like the one you have here on vBulletin.org?
Thank you so much.

You can do it with an image editor like Photoshop, The Gimp, etc.

If you have fixed width boards (and Photoshop):
1) Open up a new photoshop file the same width as your boards (let's say 800px in this example)
2) New Layer > Fill it with white
3) Image > Canvas size > Increase the width to about 1000-1200px
4) Create a new layer under the 800px wide box and put a gradient on each side of it.
5) Once it looks good, Image > Canvas Size > and reduce the Height to 1px
6) Save for Web, and you're good to go.
Then for the actual CSS, in the Body box in Style Manager just add url(/path/to/image.gif) top center repeat-y to the "Background" box.
If you have fluid boards it's a little harder but not impossible.
Thank you, guys! :)
Truly appreciated!
