No need to fire up the image editor for this one! Backgrounds are also easier than ever before. Drop in any background image you want, and Dimensions provides smooth gradients above and below the image for a smoother effect. More Details...
Having Internet Explorer 6 Issues?
On certain occasions, the Dimensions template may not look functional in Internet Explorer 6. This could be due to the CSS file that has all the fixes for IE6 being a PHP file. Some server configurations do not operate well with this and it is best to remove the PHP references from the file and make it a CSS stylesheet. More Details...
