Sure,
you can do anything you want with the style and layout.
Although the image is set as a background, it is still a graphic.
So if you want to change it, design a new one and upload it to the images directory. This is skin/images. (have you got ftp access?)
(You will notice that the images directory is coded as {$ImagesDir}
Never change this, as you will get security errors/warnings when customers move into the secure area of your site.)
One way to do this may be to download all the images in question so that you can see their sizes and rework them. I would think you need to do a bit more than this though and rebuild the table to fit your new graphics. The original tab is made up of a number of graphics, these being tab_l.gif, tab_r.gif etc.
You can of course create a new button, but if you include the label on the button image, you will lose the functionality that we discussed earlier. You will then in effect hard code the speedbar, no bad thing if it isnБ─≥t going to change.
I am suspecting you will need more help with the table layout, so let me know if this sets you off in the right direction. I cannot understand though why on earth you would want to change the original buttons Б─⌠ they are most delightful!!!!!!!!
