TRubble with my TOP!

[RavenBeauty]

I have two questions really, one I have solved the only way I know how. To have a bg that makes the banner I had to make it 3000 px long which of course is about 300 kbs but then again if there is no other way to make a strip like that across the top then it beats the size that the original banner was which was somewhere around 900 kb's.

My main question is how do i get the link buttons down just a bit to where they are on the teal background?

The second question problably wasnt clear.. but I wondered if there was any way at all to make the top be like you see without having to have an extended background that runs all the way down the page to the tune of 3000 px to cover all who have larger screens..?

To make the background go across the whole screen, just put as the background of a table, and set the table's width to 100%, and the height to the height of the image.

Can you tell me please what to do with that table? Where do i put it? in the style? and do i paste it oh boy where do i paste it!

[DirectPixel]

Put the table in your header template.

[DirectPixel]

You replace your current picture with the table.
