how did they make the mainnav bar gradient. I see that it uses grad-2.gif which has a gradient of grey shade with light color at the bottom. While the actual mainnav has lighter side on the top.

QUite curious – how did they achieve that effect?

I am trying to change that to just plain grey color with no gradient. How can I do about doing that?

What type of graphics program are you using? For example, Paint Shop Pro, Photo Shop, etc…
All you have to do is pull it into your program, change the colors as desired, and then upload the new graphic (with the same name) to the same directory.

Paint shop pro. I used to do it for my other templates, but this one struck me differently. Seriously, I am looking at the grad-2.gif. It doesn’t have any gradient at all. How come it is showing gradient in the page?

Not sure what kind of yellow you need but here’s one. Let me know the color code you want if this particular yellow is not what you like.

Here’s one more with less gradient.
Sorry those are both .jpg files. You need to rename them to .gif and overwrite with the existing files.
