Default Product Titles Are too Long for Tabs

Hoping for a little help. I'm a rookie here so be gentle.

How do I correct this?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Jason,

I am having the same problem and I ask the same question and this is where we need to start

Quote:
Hi, Ricky:

It is in the file: skin1/dialog.tpl. You can easily find the graphic setup there.

Have fun

This information was giving to me by Yang Xu
I will be working on the problem later on today and let you know if it works.

Kind regards,
Ricky

a little more info on this img edit....

take the image into Photoshop(or your image editor) and convert it to RGB, the simpley use the extractor tool to match the correct color, then use paint bucket to fill the white lines it with the correct color.... This will allow you to retain the same bg style, except with a solid color so that all the text can be read....

hth,

Thank you for the hint. It work like a charm. I used PS6 and just it was done in few minutes.

this is what I did
- Used the Rectangular Marque tool to selet the are I need it.
- Then Use the move tool to move my marque whre I wnat it.
- Eyes dropper to capture the correct colot
- Use the paint bucket to fill the colors and I was done.

Thank you once more

Kind regards,
Ricky

Or you can remove the image entirely! If you are not experienced with image editing this is an easier solution.

If you remove the image, remember to change the text color, as white text is not easy to see.....

for someone who cant or doesnt want to edit the existing image, you can simply create a rectangle in the color you wish to use and save it as "dialog_bg_n.gif" (100x30 is sufficient)and upload it to the img dir. this will give you a soild rectangle. The reason for editng the existing image is to retain the styling with the Tabs.....
