Never-mind, I replaced it with a GIF (with transparency) to fix it, thanks :) All I had to do then, was make a change in the stylesheet.css to tell it to look for a gif instead of a jpg. I'd appreciate any feedback on how the site looks, I want to make it look as amateurish as possible.

The site looks good ;-) If it were me, I would:

*change the background on the cart gif in the header to match the new background color
*change the background color on the search button in the header to match the new background color
*turn off the header category tabs
*add some ez pages and put them into the important links in the footer (or delete the column)
*turn off some of the left hand sideboxes so that there is not so much white space on some of the pages
*add images for the sub categories


Thanks,

Anne

Thanks for the feedback! Not sure how I missed those buttons last night, it was late! Underneath the shopping cart and search buttons is the top navigation bar "top-nav-bk.gif", so shouldn't the transparency in the buttons show the underlying colors in the background from the top-nav-bk.gif? I'm a little miffed as to how to fix this other than painting the "background" portions with the same color as the background. Any ideas?

Also, in the readme file accompanying the template, it included instructions to turn off images for the sub categories, so I'm curious for the about-face? I'll definitely add some EZ pages or turn them off when I figure out what to put in them :)

Thanks,

I just think that in your particular situation, it would look better with sub cat images

The header search button doesn't have a clear background. That is what is causing the problem.

Okay, I changed the cart button so that it has transparency in the background using GIMP, and changed "includes/templates/andover_modern/common/tpl_header.php" to look up the new GIF instead of a JPG, that seemed to work great. I also edited the button_search_header.gif to have transparency in the background using GIMP and uploaded it. The Cart icon looks fine now, but the search button is still showing red in the corners. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong, if it's CSS related, I'm a little slow in that department

By the way, I liked your FB profile, thanks for an incredible theme, plus the support

The red is in the image. Go into your image program and take out the background--make it transparent, or fill the background with the background color of the top nav bar so that it blends in.

Thanks,

No, I removed the red and uploaded it with transparency, here's a direct link to the image so you can see what I mean, but it's still showing the red on the web page. I've checked on a couple different browsers to make sure it wasn't a cache issue, but same story. For some reason, even with the transparency in the search button, it's displaying the main background in the transparency instead of the top-nav bar...

Your new image is in the wrong directory. It should be in:

includes/templates/andover_modern/buttons/english/button_search_header.gif

and not:

includes/templates/andover_modern/images/button_search_header.gif

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That did the trick! Is there a way, so that at the bottom of the screen, where the "More Information" (on the right side of the bottom menu) should be, can display my "We Accept PayPal" or my SSL information links?

Thanks!

Yes, you will need to edit the includes/templates/andover_modern/common/tpl_footer.php and the stylesheet.css

Thanks,
