Question How do I change the background colours of my tabs?

Can you show a screenshot of your forum, indicate which parts of the template you want coloured, and what colour would you like it done. I (or someone else) might be able to produce the necessary goods and attach the files here for you.

Hey, it would be too good to be true, I don't know in which world you live but in my little world nobody does anything for nothing... :laugh:

Anyway, here I attached the files and the screenshots too, I didn't explain myself well, hopefully the screenshots will speak for me. Ta

Try the attached files

Thanks a million. How did you do that?!? Did you use a specific tool to get them take the bl00dy colours? The cat_title_bg.gif is still very brownish and I need it to be pinker but Photoshop is not doing me any favours...

You should be able to do what you want to do in Photoshop. Any decent image editor will have the necessary functions; I used Paintshop Pro. You need to do something like this:

1. Increase the range of editable colours (from 8 to 24 bits)
2. Cut the coloured bottom half and paste as a new image
3. Apply a new hue and saturation (in PSP there is a Colorize option)
4. Wash out the colour by applying a 50% erase over the image
5. Paste the newly-coloured part back as a new layer on the original; then merge the layers;
6. Save the new image as a .GIF with zero-dithering (you can achieve a good size if you reduce the maximum colours to 64)

Sounds complicated? Not really.

Play with the idea. If your still unsuccessful, reply again with an example of the darkest colour that you want for cat_title_bg.gif. As I suggested, you can lighten it by using a 50% erase over the image. Good luck.

Complicated you say, huh? Try unfeasible, at least not for me It's a bit depressing that for colouring a very very tiny small image I should spend hours reading Adobe CS (which BTW mine is in Spanish ?!?), I can't do ANY of the operations you described, but thanks a million for your trouble, I'll stick with the brown-ish image! ))
