Call me stupid but I don't see what this does extra than the other 2 hacks (or floris')? What else does it change after the categories have been spaced by the other hack/s?

I'd like to know too. I'm still fiddling with it though, so if I figure it out I'll let you know.

I'd like to see a ready-made hack like this that would add the side images too. I'll keep looking...

it lets you have the category images... the left and right ones... but i can't use it as i use floris' categories in a box modifaction

I didn't get a chance to look at it, i'm just scanning all these threads looking for a quick answer. Heh.

I saw Floris' before, so maybe I'll take a closer look at the various methods. This started out as a quest for a category strip background, but now I may end up breaking up the categories and using one of these hacks instead. It depends on the overall look.

Thanks guys.

It's the bar/text above the forum names, where it lists the category of forums.

I can't screenshot one for you now, but for reference look at vbulletin.com. The forum categories "vBulletin 2", "vBulletin 3" etc are category strips.

I was trying to put an image as a background, but ran into spacing issues. What I did was just insert my image in the background box (in Styles) but then I'd have to fiddle with the template to fix the spacing. It's okay, I'm moving on to another idea.

I just have to examine the differences between your method, Floris', and any others I can find.

Thanks for posting this! It's pointing me in the right direction.
