So i am redesigning my templates...first time going at this so please bear with me.

I want to add a 'drop shadow' behind my forurms. I guess it would better be descibed as between my page and the background.

Now I understand that I need to build the shadow in photoshop and us css to tile the image verticaly, but how and where? Can I use it as a border?

thanks

Setting the background values in the .page class would be the easiest but the answer depends on your layout type. Is it a fixed-width or fluid-width?

Thanks for the reply!

It is a fixed width (750px) board that is centered.

BG on the .page style...?

hmm...
let me try it

Yup.

The background image width then needs to be set to 750px (750x10px is a good number). In the Main CSS, .page "background" add:

Code:

#ffffff url(/path_to_image/.gif) repeat-y top left

Change the background color (#ffffff) and set your image path. Then in StyleVars you may need to change your Spacer size so that the shadows of your background shows fully.

If you need further help let me know.

Where would I set the board width fixed?

NM - found it.
