What is it?: A chrome wrapper in the 5x3 table wrapper style.
If you've already installed the 5x3 table wrapper then just upload the graphics to your web server, add my CSS classes(I used the same CSS class names as the original 5x3 table wrapper), and change the path in the CSS classes to match where you stored the graphics.
If you haven't installed my 5x3 wrapper then I've included the tbopen and tbclose templates that you will need, as well as the clear gif file for the forground graphics. You will have to edit the path to the graphics in the templates to match where you store the graphics on your server.
Chrome is, well... chrome. So I did not include any color variation with this one
I installed this on my forum and the guys love it. (We are car guys so of course we like it) I have installed the newsfader mod previously and is there a way to make it go around it also?
OK, the News Fader does use a template, but it does not use the $tbopen or $tbclose variables. Attached to this post is a modified version of the template that comes with the News Fader mod. Let me know if it works and I'll go back to the News Fader thread and attach the file there as well.
I'm still playing with the colors but here's what I have so far. If I could only remember what controls the font color in the News Fader I'd be in good shape. LOL
The minimum size that the table wrappers will scale down to is 180 pixels wide by 30 pixels high. So you will see a limit to just how small the IIP columns will look. When I was doing testing on the table wrappers 180 pixels looked acceptable. Going smaller reduces the effects that can be done with the images to the point where it's better just to use a solid color instead of a gradiant.
For the chrome table wrapper, since all the images that you see are background images and there is no large horizontal gradiant, you could set the following table cells in the tbopen and tbclose templates to use a different width (listed by the CSS classes that control them):
topleft
topright
botleft
botright
I would set them all to the same size. Keep in mind that the forground transperant gifs are 10 pixels square so you won't be able to go below 50 pixels wide unless you change them as well.
