Backround pic for my fourm main page · **Released**: 01-19-2003

i was wondering how you can place a backround picture on your forums home page. i see that www.zelaron.com/forums did it. just look at there "X79" style. the backround image doesnt move when you scroll down the page. i wanted to do something like that.

its done here http://www.zelaron.com/forums/index.php?styleid=73 just change to the x79 style on the main page backround. His cats are a little transparent, and the backround image doesnt move.

that link should have the style already selected.

(i hope)

:EDIT:
ok i figured out how to make the backround image still, but now how to make the cats just alittle tranparent, like shpook was asking

Ok, well, we got the static BG image. I feel sort of dumb for not knowing it. :cry:

Still wondering about the opacity though....

Now, that's tight how they got the images in each category.

I'll tell you how we do it, but be forewarned that it is a HUGE client CPU hog.

What you do, is in your forum list table tag, you need to add

Code:

style="filter:alpha(opacity=75);"

If you already have a style attribute, just append the part in quotes to it.

Again, doing this will half kill a P266 or the like, so it would be good not to use it in your default style.

Oppacity:

Create a little 1x1 px file in photoshop.
Set this oppactity @ 50% or something.
Make sure for a transparant background.

Now upload your file, and after that do the step Mist said:

Quote:

Find:
<td bgcolor="{ categorybackcolor}" colspan="6">

Quote:

replace with:
<td bgcolor="{ imagesfolder}/catbg.gif" colspan="6">

So filename must be catbg.gif in this case.
GL (not sure if it works)

BTW the oppactity will only work when you have got a background WITH shaps and different colors!!

If it's 1 color it wil sta also 1 color!
