[WEB4LIB] Graphics problem

[Sheryl Dwinell]

Kathy:

Here's what I'm seeing: there is a grayish horizontal band at the top of
your button bars. Under that is a thin maroon colored band. Around the
entire image is the hyperlink colored border.  I exported one of your
graphics to my PC & looked at it in Photoshop and there is definitely a gray
band at the top with a very thin area of maroon underneath.  I don't know if
you used a button making program to give them a sort of beveled look. Maybe
that's why the gray horizontal line at the top is appearing? The other idea
I had was that the gray area was supposed to be made transparent, but is
showing. However, if you do make this area transparent & still use the
hyperlink border around the image there will be a space between the maroon
color & the hyperlink colored border.  I'm not sure if you want the border
or not. I assume you know how to turn it off, if you don't want it.

If you still have the button graphics on your PC that you loaded on your Web
server, you might want to look at them in Paint Shop Pro and see if the gray
horizontal line is there. If so, you can use Paint Shop to fill in that area
with the Maroon color to fix that portion of the graphic & reload the
graphics back to your Web server.
