No problem.
You can make your own reflected images by following the directions in the tutorial in my signature below.
Good luck.

That was one bloody good tutorial… one look at it and i was ready to go… man, thanks… what can I do for you now? Before I ask you a question of course… ha ha ha

I really wanted to build myself a set of adventure icons (you know, trekking, kayaking, rafting etc etc), but a bit like XP icons you know… bloody smart! Any ideas? did download myself an icon creator, but it is a pain to use…

Should I just start with very high res photoshop, you think?

Thanks for the compliment, I hope you learned something new.
You can convert any bitmap .bmp image to an icon .ico file, but keep the image simple because when it scales to icon size you will lose details. There are many free .bmp to .ico converters on the internet, but ShannonN has a great link to a free XP style icon site. You might want to PM him on that, or do a search for free XP icons.

anyways, getting icons for adventure activities is almost impossible… people only make other stuff you know.. i am searching for more like rock climbing… you know… done in XP style… will get there for sure one day!

I’m sure you will. 🙂
Play around with the gimp for a while and I am sure you will pick it up quickly, and you will be making icons all over the place.

I don’t see a black line, but it looks like you removed the refrence to the rounded corners images in the templates_css.css file for the mainmenu. Go back over your changes and restore them from your back up, one at a time until you get it the way it was before you messed it up.
You say you don’t have a back up?
download the template files again and overwrite the copy you changed.

I found out that i messed with the img margins… set that back after dinner and all was OK… did have one too many beers though, but still managed to find the problems… yeeeahhhhh!

Check you container width, and or padding.
