Hi,

I'm using the blue "Team" template and I am modifying the height of the image area in the masthead from 219 px to 123 px high.
I have everything set except that I can't get the background of the two-toned blue bar to appear under the masthead images -- just above the blue horizontal menu.
It is showing up as a white space. I reduced the height of the page_bg.jpg file, and the height of the header_line_bg.jpg file, but the white area is still showing where it should be blue. Should the page_bg.jpg file be tiling across the width of the entire page? As far as I can tell, that is the only art file with the two-toned blue textured background that runs across the space just above the horizontal main menu.
I uploaded the page_bg.jpg file for your reference.
If anyone has experience with this template and could help, I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks in advance,
railer

Okay, I figured out what the problem was. I had to modify the height of a background image for the masthead area called:
header_top_middle_shadow_bg.jpg

It was too tall and was covering up the tiling of the page_bg.jpg art.
I took a screenshot of masthead area of the page in a browser to determine the proper height, and then I placed a guide in the proper place in the image near the bottom where the new bottom should be. I copied the bottom part of the art and moved it up, cropped it to the proper size and re-exported a new jpeg. Uploaded it and refreshed the browser, and the page_bg.jpg tile now displays across the entire page as it should. Yes! :-))

Have a good day!

PS: Thanks for a nice template!
