This has been really bugging me. I see it on my styles, but can't get to grips with how it's done properly.

Basically, I want to curve the edges of the table header, like this:

How can I get this? I know I have to make the images, that shouldn't be too much of an issue, but I need to also know how to implement it, but i don't know how to....

Thanks

The curves are done in Photoshop and saved as image files.

I'm a little behind the times and I'm not sure what your coding looks like, but as the previous poster said cook up some images in PS or whatever. You're going to have to go in and edit the style, more than likely, so that the table border or cell you're trying to round doesn't have a border, set it to 0. You might have to divide the row into additional columns so you can align each side with the appropriate rounding image as well.

I know how to create curved images, but I have no idea of where to start, and how to implement them and modify my style to display them...

In other words, you don't know how to code them in? Neither do I, and I'd love to learn.

The best thing to do is to download a style that has curved borders, and see what their code is like. There are also a ton of Photoshop tutorials on making these curves.

I know how to make the curved images. I just don't know how to code them into the vB template. But I will follow your suggestion and find a style that has them. Thanks.

I was just hoping that another designer here would be willing to help :)

I have looked into styles with curved edges, and there's a lot more coding it appears. I thought that it would simply involve telling vB to put two images in the table header in the field where the color goes, but I think you also need to set CSS custom sheets too. So it's likely that I won't be able to pick up on everything as things are done behind the scenes to give that effect, it appears.
