I read it somewhere it's 730 or 1024 that's why i could not make it fit. Thank you again, cheers

Re: Header Image Background

I think we have, had, the same problem.

I used the size dimensions mentioned by Zuker for my banner and it almost works. I have attached a screenshot of my banner problem.

Every time I try to increase the length of my banner through Photoshop, it pushes the site to the right, leaving that gray line on the right. If you look closely, you'll see the problem. The height is perfect. There has got to be something in the code that keeps pushing the site to the right when I add the banner.

I'm using the Black Pearl template, editing overall_header_bl, and running IP 1.1.10.25 RC3.

You can take a "live" look at the problem at http://www.thelocclan.com

Have any idea what could be causing the gray area on the right of the banner? Here is my overall_header_bl.tpl file:

Re: Header Image Background

Well, it depends on how do you want to set it. In you case, you set it as a logo like IP on this site, insteads your is bigger. It looks fine if anyone view it in small screen, but it stretch out if it's bigger screen than your logo size. Mine, i set it as a background, no link when you move mouseover. If you do my way, then you'll need to edit it in the style_p_black.css file. I hope, that helps.

good luck

Are you using Icy Phoenix 1.1.10.25 RC3?

I know this sounds stupid but where in the file (style_p_black.css) do I make the changes? I think I have the general area narrowed down:

Is that the correct area and if it is, where do I make the change?

Thanks for your help.
