Concept?

[School-Help]

I understand the basic concept of styles, they are made up of the templates etc etc.

Say i made a xml file , and decided how i wanted my forum to look. What would i do next? Would i insert the navbar codes? or what ?

Do i need to create new templates for each custom style i build?

( Additional question: I know how to change the colours using CSS options but how would i create a nice looking gradient for the forum sections part(can't remember exact name) )

All information that you guys & gals would give me i would truly be thankful for. :p

You would need to modify the templates to tweak your style to exactly how you want it. Most notably these would include

postbit
forumhome
navbar
header
footer

To create the gradient for the category strips you would need to make this in photshop or a similar package and upload to your server making note of the location then in the category strips section in the CSS add to your existing hex colour code ' url(path to gradient)' and that will then put the image in there.

i have tried to add the bars like this and it didnt seem to work? Also what if i wanted a better range of colours to use instead of the default CSS ones offered in the admincp?
