vb.org Archive - tcat padding problem

I have added a tcat that uses a middle, right and left corner (all different images). I added the coding in the right templates and I have the three part tcat code working.

However, the gradient from the original tcat class still shows up behind it. See Screenshot 1 below:

I cannot get rid of it properly.

What I did at first was set the padding on the "tcat" class in the Styles manager was: padding: 0;. It did shrink to what I want

But this affects other pages as well using the tcat class:

(tcat take from the forum view section)

How can I shrink the tcat on the index page without messing it up on my other pages?
----------------------------------

Three Part tcat Code CSS:

Code:

.tcat_main {

background: url(http://sixpop.com/images/file/77938217.gif) top left repeat-x;

height: 31px;

}



.tcat_left {

background: url(http://sixpop.com/images/file/78314222.gif) top left no-repeat;

height: 31px;

}



.tcat_right {

background: url(http://sixpop.com/images/file/61109970.gif) top right no-repeat;

height: 31px;

}



.tcat_text {

padding: 10px; /* may need to play around with this value depending on your images */

Template I applied the tcat DIVs to:

forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

Code:

</table>

<br />



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">



<tbody>

        <tr>

                <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">



<div class="tcat_main"><div class="tcat_left"><div class="tcat_right"><div class="tcat_text">



                        <if condition="$childforumbits">

                        <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

                        </if>

                        <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>

                        <if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>

                        <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>



</div></div></div></div>

                </td>

        </tr>



    <tr align="center">

      <td class="thead" width="4%">&nbsp;</td>

      <td class="thead" width="65%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>

      <td class="thead" width="6%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>

      <td class="thead" width="6%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>

      <td class="thead" width="6%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>

      <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">

      <td class="thead" width="13%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>

      </if>

    </tr>



</tbody>

<if condition="$childforumbits">

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">

$childforumbits

</tbody>

</if>
