Featured Products - Heading Color Issues

Hi,

I am very new to coding, web sites etc and have managed to get a simple site customized (all be it in the original green colors as I dont know how to change them yet!!)

However, I have a color overlap on my featured products box header. I believe it is not wide enough as I have changed the test size and just looks a but unprofessional.

Can anyone tell me how I could correct this? Also any criticisms of the site are more than welcome (I am still working on it though so its rough round the edges!)

Thanks

Re: Featured Products - Heading Color Issues

The effect you see is caused by the size of tile_back.gif, which is used as the background image for headers. The image is something like 30 pixels tall, which means that a header taller than this will cause the image to repeat vertically. It is happening in several places on your site.

There are a couple of things you can do beside making your own custom background image (or eliminating the image and using a solid color).

You can use a graphics editing program to enlarge or stretch tile_back.gif. This will make it not look complete on smaller headings, though. You might rename the stretched version tile_back2.gif and change your stylesheet to use that for the headings that will be taller.

You can (in your stylesheet) specify
background-image: repeat-x;
so it will only tile horizontally, and use a background-color that blends with the bottom of tile_back.gif, so that color will stretch seamlessly down as far as it needs to.
