I'll reword things so that is more clear. In a nutshell ... the background image is tiled horizontally, so if your menu is higher than the background image, then you will need to specify a background colour too. Although you will want to specify a background colour anyway simply because the menu will be unreadable until the background image is loaded or if someone has images turned off.

Good thinking!

Yeah, that is on my list of things to do. I've seen some funky Javascripted palette generators in the past which input the HEX code directly to the form rather than you having to enter them by hand.

Actually, it already has that! In the bottom left there is an option box labelled "PREMADE DESIGNS". When you choose one of those (there's only two at the moment) a whole bunch of options are changed all at once.

I'll try to make that more clear though as you obviously didn't see it/understand what it was for.


Thanks for the input
