 Re: Creating Simple Transparent Tabs In IP
No, the old template style " MG Autumn". A lot of people don't have that one installed.
No matter. There is a problem with more than one template due to a spacing issue.
It probably only occurs if you have your monitor resolution set to: 1027x768
There is just a slight clearance problem in the header height. I can increase it which would be easier than reducing the size of the tab pngs.
Here's what I'm getting. I can see a interference overall height problem, and my login logout tab set wraps around to the bottom......
LOGGED IN:
LOGGED OUT:
See, when logged in, the above mentioned tab "wraps" around to the bottom!
There's nothing wrong with the code changes you provided, Limun, just a small sizing issue!
also what you can do is that you strech pictures a little
made them with less width 
second options is that you can remove menu_sep from tabs (a little image before text)

Re: Creating Simple Transparent Tabs In IP
Maybe there's another way. See how the overall height drops just slightly when logged in?
You have to look close. I need to increase the height, but keep it that height when logged in.
You can go to my test site and log in and see what I'm talking about.
I tried to decrease the size of the tabs, but then the .css needs changing to match.
If you change one thing it might be easy, is the height, but also keep the height from dropping when logging in.
note: look at other MG templates, without images, they are square tabs, but size is perfect!

did you saw this ?
ul#nav a{
background: #444444 url(images/ice/bg_hdr1_orange.gif) top left repeat-x;
color: #FFEEDD;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
float: left;
width: 95px;
padding: 5px 0;
}
so if you create picture of size 85px ... just you need to change in spoiler above where is "red"

Re: Creating Simple Transparent Tabs In IP
Ok, that would probably work. It's going to have to be smaller than 90 pix.
Do me a favor, and look at the xmas styles on my test site, they look perfect with no images, and each .css could be edited to change the link and hover colors!
Nice!
If size didn't drop, I would then say that the whole thing is now perfect! I'm not sure how to make height stay the same in .css

man :
1. do you see in MG-s tabs a litlle pic before text ..on this site? (menu_sep ... look the difference ) 
2. there are pics for tabs you use in your images folder ...check it
3. you didnt coded good ... check again my post ( on your site is not working "active link"
4. if you want tabs like in this site you have 2 options :
- use <script> type - there is link somewhere in Chaotic post in VIP

Re: Creating Simple Transparent Tabs In IP
Oh, I logged out, and checked MG's tabs. No problems. Then I just logged back in to check again.
I was logged in for a long time......
Anyway, The size fixed everything........I CODED RIGHT!!
Great job, now go look, it's perfect, great design. I'm using it on all my MG themes now!!!!
You are the "bomb" with .css...........only convince down under.
heeee........... 
P.S. oops, I had hide checked, sorry, I don't want to hide, must have been on for a long time!

<li><a href="http://www.thegtsaga.net/gearhead/index.php"><img src="http://www.thegtsaga.net/gearhead/templates/mg_themes/images/xmas_dark/menu_sep.png" alt="" /> Home</a></li>
and this is in my post
<li<!-- IF basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) == 'index.php' --> class="activetab"<!-- ENDIF -->><a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_PORTAL}"><img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" /> {L_HOME}</a></li>

I just checked it. I have that line exactly. You have to be switched to see that line when on Icy Phoenix I guess. Or maybe I need to clear out my cache. I just opened my overall_header.tpl, and that's the coding on the first line......I still need to set the .css in all other templates, but will use matching or better suited pngs for all different templates!!
Thanks.

Re: Creating Simple Transparent Tabs In IP
I have a question:
Are you trying to get the "Yellow" tabs to show you where you are - rather than where you've been?
Because "Visited" images will keep the tabs yellow until you clear your browser history.
no , ..yellow tabs are default ( like oranges on this site )
blue - mauseover
white - (active) where you are, based on forum.php , index.php search.php ecc.... ( i m working to set them also if you are example in view topic )
more white lighter - mauseover for for white

Roger that!
Limun, I really don't think too much more, if anything, is needed to make this "modification" any better. It's already great as it is!

Oh, I didn't tell you but for each template, I'm using slightly different color tabs.....you know I had to change the size to 85 pix, so I am making slightly different colors for each template to blend in.
The stock colors you provided work perfectly with Icy Phoenix, MG Autumn (old).
Now, you have inspired me to create for mx (pearl) templates, and for Aphrodite!!!!
Great job.
update to Limun. On my test site, I did mess with the colors of the tabs, the tab color for the current page is wrong. I did that on purpose. I did have the right color scheme for my main site, however, and it works beautiful. The page you are on, is the active tab which is a light color to let you know the current page. Great work.

Totally uncalled for.
This theme
h**p://***.macommunity.net/
Excluding the "new" Nav .css etc is a rip-off of this theme:
h**p://***.icythemes.com/ip/index.php?&s=47
Or this code here:
h**p://icythemes.com/ip/reducing-themes-to-80-vp136.html#p136
While it may be fine to use either for your own personal purpose, It's a different ball game when you create / distribute or advertise a theme based on someone else's work, and give credit only to yourself.
The crux of the matter is:
If you can't acknowledge your source, don't expect any help from those who effect the script changes in the first place.
