Looking at the code in firebug, I see I've limited experience with js myself, but the following worked for me: You can gain control over the background color for the bands by setting the parameters for themes created with the Timeline.ClassicTheme.create() function. Have a look at the source for this: http://home.myuw.net/jjcrump/Timelines/JohnItinerary2.html. Note that I have a custom theme for the top band created like this: var johnTheme = Timeline.ClassicTheme.create(); johnTheme.ether.backgroundColors[0] = "#707070"; And the background color for the other two bands is set like this: var theme = Timeline.ClassicTheme.create(); . . . theme.ether.backgroundColors[1] = "#C0C0C0"; theme.ether.backgroundColors[2] = "#E0E0E0"; There's a sketchy mention of this in: http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/docs/create-timelines.html#understanding-initialization-settings Also, have a look at the themes.js file in the timeline API. Hope that helps, Jon _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
