I am comparing using OSC to Zencart and found OSC 10 times more user friendly. Question:

Having changed the text in "Sales Message Goes Here" and it constantly fails ( What really makes it work?)
And ,reducing the px of the Zencart logo to 1 x 1 I finally got that to remove + using a transparent logo.gif, although the instruction sheet says use jpeg ???

Extremely difficult to use the product attributes and Options I can install (Size) Options, but no Attributes.

I noticed I can File Manage from OSC, but not Zencart.

Help??

And you can break the heck out of your shop using that File Manager too ...

That was removed from Zen Cart for both security and integrity of your code ...

Get a good FTP program and a good TEXT editor ...

As to osC being easier to use ... well with all the missing features that Zen Cart provides I guess it might appear easier to use at the moment ...

But give yourself a little time to read through the tutorials/FAQs and get use to all the built in features of Zen Cart and I think you will find you like it ...

What I found was when I change the css file for the tile_back.gif, it changes the entire page background. When I change the background # it changes the tile_back .gif. I have yet to get them both to work.

Upon adding a catagory, half the time it errors causing me to remove the catagory and re-install.

Using WS_ftp and Dreamweaver for 9 years now.

With file manager I can just rip thru the php.

Don't know, spent about 12 hours on this now.

I'm not going to make the obvious move of asking you if you know who you've been talking to but, instead, ask you to give us a look or a better description of what you have been doing.
The tile_back.gif is meant to be a simple graphic slice of a pre-determined size that will repeat as necessary to fill a specific area or areas. The background-color associated with it in the CSS is only there to prevent a blank spot while the image is loading. Most high-speed connections don't ever see the color. Also, most folks want the areas presented by tile_back.gif to look the same. That's the reason for placing it in so many css calls.
If you wish to have different background images for the navMainWrapper and navCatTabsWrapper (for example), you will need to create them and change the css to break them apart and put their respective files with them in their own call.

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #abbbd3;
	background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);
	padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #ffffff;
	height: 1%;
	}

could become

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
	margin: 0em;
	padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #ffffff;
	height: 1%;
	}
#navMainWrapper {
       background-color: #000000;
       background-image: url(../images/tile_back_navMain.gif;
       }
#navCatTabsWrapper {
       background-color: #FFFFFF;
       baclground-image: url(../images/tile_back_navCatTabs.gif;
       }

Hi,
I rebuilt the tile_back to a color of brown size 11 x 30 and checked the install at all points of the css. Next I changed the header_bg to the correct size. I uploaded the tile_back, and everything was fine. next I up loaded the header_bg and it reversed the tile_back to the original color and I had deleted that from my server. Since I installed both objects I now have no header and the original color...

css file I belive is: includes/templates/classic/css
