    Idea or Suggestion How do I use my own design?

    I have been doing some research and have realized that you can create a site in photo shop and then convert the psd file into a css file. Now I've these source files in some of the free templates for zen-cart. Can some one point me into the right direct for a guide on using my design from Photoshop for my zen-cart site?

    I already prepared my custom template directory as it says in the FAQ's mow I want to be able to use my own css design.

    Who knows, once I learn how to do this I might think my designs are worthy enogh for the download

    thanks for in advance for any tips or advice.

    I understand that this may be possible with Dreamweaver, but I don't know about Photoshop's capacity to "edit" a zencart shop...

    There are many variables involved. Mostly, it depends on the layout you decide on for your site. You will need to pay attention to the various wrapper widths and heights. Follow your Zen settings and you'll just need to drop the data into the correct wrapper and, if necessary, adjust links.
    Where most of the custom templates mess things up is by creating their own wrappers, divs, and classes rather than "dropping data" into an existing area.
    A little help with colors.
