Note that you can do precisely what the poster above asks for with PNGs. Just create a PNG with an alpha channel, and whatever the user chooses as the background *colour* will be seen through the transparent/translucent areas of the image. There are heaps of examples of this at art.gnome.org. - Jeff -- GNOME Summit: October 8th-10th http://live.gnome.org/Boston2005 Web development with PHP is like injecting pure rust with a high-pressure hose.
