If conditions and creating my first style...

[ProperMethodz]

Hi...

I'm working on my first style. I'm a serious newbie at all of this. My site was something I inhearited less then a year ago. This is also when I started web design, and using photoshop.

Now... I'm the only person who does work on my site. I have a guy who is "supposed" to help, but he always is "too busy".

So, Here are some things I would like to know/do, and I'm hoping you can all help me build as I go.

I'm using vBulletin 3.5 gold. I just installed it and am EXTREMELY happy with the upgrades. I am wanting to create a skin based around the effects of a blacklight, and it's reactive properties on green material.

As you can see here:http://www.7hmgaming.com/forum/index.php?styleid=31

I've already created the black base for it. I have a feeling I'll be changing many of the colors, but I seriously get lost sometimes.

I want to change a color, I go to AdminCP and adjust the area where I think will modify the area I want... but it does nothing. Then I go find another area, and yeah... you get the point. That or misterious borders show up... or all kinds of things. For instance, I wanted to have a second alternationg color of 333333 and have the first 000000. But there would be a "background" color for the font of 000000. Why is this?


Now... On to my if condition... Now since you know from my typings earlier. I'm a newbie to web design, and web coding. So please bare with me and don't be mad cause I don't know. I can learn fast, I just have never touched this stuff until I got this site which was completely unhacked when I recieved it.

I want create an if condition for IE to use .gif, and for FF to use png. I'm thinking that I'll have to default the site to .gif, and add the if condition for detecting FF to allow png.

I don't even know where to start with this, but think this would be an awesome hack/code to use until IE 7 shows up (if it ever does).

Thanks in advance.
