Weather Blues and header graphics

[aznetcowboy]

Just wondering what kind of graphic is used in the header graphic of the Weather Blues pages, or at least what the requirements are for the graphic other than they are 954px by 200px and they apparently must be jpg files. I would like to look for some header files that are more representative of the area where I live, that being the high desert area of the U.S.

Hi Tom,

Do you want to add static pictures, or keep the slider active??

On pages other than having my sunset/view impressions from my backyard deck, I've used a compilation of several pictures (take a look at "Images" or the "Astronomy" pages.

I used Powerpoint to add several pictures together (grouped), saved them as 1 xxxxxxx.JPG and resized them to the required 945x200 pixels.
Implemented them in the line:
<div class="header">
<img src="images/clouds13.jpg" alt="" style="padding-left:25px"/>

Note: I deleted the section for slider display, to create a static (header) image for each individual page.

Hope this is what you're looking for,

Cheers,

Arthur

Hi Tom,

If you want to keep slideshow in header, you have to look in each page
to find that section:

<div id="slider" class="nivoSlider">
   <img src="style/header1.jpg" alt="" />
   <img src="style/header2.jpg" alt=""/>
   <img src="style/header3.jpg" alt="" />
</div>

You just have to replace with your own .jpg pictures at size you see.
Only one "trick"; since slideshow is a bit long to load, I've put a static
image in that frame to have something to see during loading time!
Easiest to do is to replace also header.jpg with your own picture
(but keep the header.jpg name!)

Hope this help,
Jacques

Yup, I like the slider effect. Now all I have to do to keep the clean look is figure out how the round off the corners. Unfortunately I've never been a good, or even half-good graphics person. What I'd like to do in particular if replace the road picture. I just don't care for that one (personal taste I guess).
