Kenneth,
I just committed code for this new approach and it works well for
Firefox, Mozilla and Safari. It looks nice! I tried your suggested fix
for IE, but as yet I have not gotten it to work.
If you're interested in taking a look the files are here:
<http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/roller/branches/
roller_2.0/web/theme>
The HTML for the banner is in banner.jsp
The IE specific stuff is in roller.css
And I added spacer.png, which is a 1px transparent PNG
Any suggestions what I might be doing wrong and how to avoid hardcoding
the context path into that IE specific call?

Two suggestions regarding the Roller logo graphic...
1. Consider separating the logo from the background gradient.
2. Consider making the colored area around the "R", and the text
"oller"
transparent. That would allow the color to be modified using a CSS
background color, rather than forcing separate logo's for each color.
These changes would significantly reduce the amount of graphics
wrangling
needed to modify these Roller styles. Unfortunately, IE 6's poor
support for
PNG transparency makes using this slightly harder than it should be.
Something similar to the CSS below can address that though.
.bannerBox{
background:#600 url(/theme/tan/logo.png) no-repeat;
width:192px;
height:76px;
}
/*IE Transparency Fix*/
* html .bannerBox
background:#600 url(/images/transparent.png) repeat; /*Hides
non-transparent background / Keeps element clickable if it is a link*/
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='/theme/
tan/lo
go.png', sizingMethod='crop'); /*Allows IE to support transparency*/
}

Subject: Roller 2.0 colors
By providing a colors.css file and some background images, it is
possible to customize the color-scheme of Roller 2.0's editor/admin UI.
Here are some examples of different looks:
The current default:
http://www.rollerweblogger.org/main.do?look=tan
The one we'll use on blogs.sun.com:
http://www.rollerweblogger.org/main.do?look=sun
An example blue theme that is not quite complete:
http://www.rollerweblogger.org/main.do?look=blue
I'm happy with the tan look as the default. Anybody object? Anybody
like to suggest different default colors?
