Snazzy for center boxes

[cla74]

OK, so I think you are trying to embed this stuff:

**Css**

#xsnazzy h1, #xsnazzy h2, #xsnazzy p {margin:0 10px; letter-spacing:1px;}
#xsnazzy h1 {font-size:2.5em; color:#fff;}
#xsnazzy h2 {font-size:2em;color:#06a; border:0;}
#xsnazzy p {padding-bottom:0.5em;}
#xsnazzy h2 {padding-top:0.5em;}
#xsnazzy {background: transparent; margin:1em;}

.xtop, .xbottom {display:block; background:transparent; font-size:1px;}
.xb1, .xb2, .xb3, .xb4 {display:block; overflow:hidden;}
.xb1, .xb2, .xb3 {height:1px;}
.xb2, .xb3, .xb4 {background:#d4d4d4; border-left:1px solid #08c; border-right:1px solid #08c;}
.xb1 {margin:0 5px; background:#08c;}
.xb2 {margin:0 3px; border-width:0 2px;}
.xb3 {margin:0 2px;}
.xb4 {height:2px; margin:0 1px;}

.xboxcontent {display:block; background:#d4d4d4; border:0 solid #08c; border-width:0 1px;}

**Html**

<div id="xsnazzy">
<b class="xtop"><b class="xb1"></b><b class="xb2"></b><b class="xb3"></b><b class="xb4"></b></b>
<div class="xboxcontent">

CENTREBOX CONTENT HERE

</div>
<b class="xbottom"><b class="xb4"></b><b class="xb3"></b><b class="xb2"></b><b class="xb1"></b></b>
</div>

Am I on the right track?

Ok you are on the right path
But where is its template?

[fairestcape]

NiftyZen template uses exactly the same principle, so my advice is to download that template and see how the css is applied.

To apply the same feature to centre boxes, there are a number of TPL files that will need editing - and each one may have a different structure, but you could start by looking at the code that drives:

tpl_modules_specials_default.php

and this may give you pointers on where to add the extra div classes and ID's.

Nifty uses JS to initiate the rounding of corners:-

First, the JS file: jscript_niftycube.js
