How to put colors in bars and nav bars

[forumbust]

Hi,

I am very interested in doing some colors on the bars of the forums. I have seen some real good colors combination such as these, especially those with shades.

I wonder how do they put the colors in this way> i know many of you guys know how to do this. i am really new at this and hopefully anyone here is kind enough to guide me.

All i can do is just a plain one color over the bar.


ps: sorry , the photo does not seems to appear,only the links is shown.

If it's gradient colouring you're looking for, you'll need to use an image for the background rather than just a hex value.

r u sure it is image?? Hmm... Even the bulletin default bar is sort of in a shade of certain degree. They are using image too?

If you look at the category strips in AdminCP, you'll see that it uses the following as the background value on the default style:

Hey Trevster,

Thanks, i will try and work it out later. :)

#869BBF url(images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top leftI think i cannot just change the colour code. I have to change the gradient image too, don't i? I try changing the colour code but nothing happen.

I have done that but it doesn't pickup the gradient image only a full colour.

You can see the gradients at:

And it not working at:

Strange as it was just working before I did the upgrade to 3.6.9.

maybe you try the full URL path. mine is working now :)

Thanks for your help. Yeh, mine is working now too. Was a prob with the image. Strange as it worked fine in 3.6.8 but when I upgraded to 3.6.9 it broke. Weird.

Cheers.

This still isn't working for me, and the strange thing is, I can't find any more information that what's been posted above...

There has to be more posts with this question?
