My category bars won't do gradient!

Friends,

Hi, I'm new to the forums. I look forward to contributing as much as I can. :)

In the meantime, I'm looking for some friendly advice. I'm trying to get my category strip bar in the forums to have a gradient look (like the default blueish one). For some reason though, when I upload a new image that is a gradient image, it only display a solid color.

Current look: http://www.kingmakersguild.com/forums/index.php

Background for Category Strips is set to: url(images/gradients/gradient_tcat_red.gif)

Any idea why the new image isn't showing up like it is actually designed? Am I missing some code? Thanks much for any help. :D

it currently isn't.

this however should work

Code:

#869BBF url(http://www.kingmakersguild.com/forums/images/gradients/gradient_tcat_red.gif) repeat-x top left

Okay, I've changed it to

Code:

#869BBF url(http://www.kingmakersguild.com/forums/images/gradients/gradient_tcat_red.gif) repeat-x top left

It is still coming out solid. I don't get it man. Is the code not registering somehow?

EDIT: I just tried Mozilla, and it seems to have come up with the gradient. It might be a problem with my curret browser. Does it look right to you guys??

WOW

I finally figured out what the problem was after hours of "WTF!". I was creating images that were 100x100px in dimension because the dimension of the original gradient_tcat.gif was 100x100.

But -- lo' and behold, the actually size of the category bar on my forums is only 25px high. So, once i changed my repeating image dimensions to 25x25, and set it to repeat, I was golden! Wow, magic anyone? :D

Hope this helps someone later. :cool:
