VonDoom, May I ask what mod you use to get the subforum pictures to show as you have them in your attachment??

[VonDoom]

I changed the images myself but displaying them is a built in feature of this hack.

Cheers for that, I just need t get the background changed and im all good with this

[VonDoom]

i just changed the html color code from "#000000" to "transparent" That makes life alot easier if your using 2 or more styles.

look for
SubForum list Formatting (combines with all previous settings)
I set all three to transparent..

bgcolor="transparent" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"
bgcolor="transparent" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1"
style="font-size:12px;" bgcolor="transparent"

Sorry it took so long to get back with you. i was looking for this hack on the wrong forum (one this wasn't installed on) ive been scrataching my head for the last tem minutes. i really have to get around to changing the colors of the ACP for all my different forums.

have you wrote only 'transparent' or what?

[VonDoom]

"transparent" with the quotes. replacing the Html color code example replace the "#000000" with "transparent"

Thanks for that VonDoom, using "transparent" made mine go a blue colour, but i've now replaced transparent with #090909 (dark grey / light black) and all looks normal again, now just need to add images to forums and sort out form layout..
