I use an 1120 header image to keep file size down, with a 560 header tile made up of a left and right image 280 each. It gives me a 1680 header with left side of tile to the left and right side of tile to the right.
Would cause problems once screen exceeded 1680, but theres not too many of them around yet ;) On Apr 17, 3:02 pm, AaronC <[email protected]> wrote: > Well put K3G, the idea has been to keep load times down.
