cant say I know the exact way of doing it.. all I can suggest is keep making your images/tiles, uploading till you are satisfied with it.

Thanx..^^

Hi, exentric :)

I did everything about the colors and uploading the pics as you instructed. I even transfered my designed to the MTv3 PSD template. Apparently, my <a href = "http://silvakreuz.minitokyo.net/">site</a> looks whacked. It's as if the slices were uploaded in the wrong places, and slices 3 and 6 would not repeat. Please note that I have uploaded the slices in its corresponsing tiles.

The problem reflects on both IE and Firefox. I used Photoshop CS in making my skin.

Hope these helps in giving me some advice. :)

1st on slice not repeating, I cant help you there as I'm also facing the same problem.

2nd, on ur page looks whacked, unless I see how your design actually looks like, I cant say much about ur userpage as the only thing I can see is a single feather and some red smudges. "Whacked" and "as if" is really vague and I can't pinpoint the problem.

Thanks for getting back to me, exentric. :) I can send you my design but I need to ask for your permission first to use your hotmail email account, which is where I would be sending the image.

The slices were "out of whack", I mean. They're not in the right order. Sorry about that. Hope this helps!

yeah go ahead. that way I can see the design clearly and compare it better with your 'whacked' layout. easy for me to troubleshoot. and if you can, please also include the already cutted/sliced images.

Could you see my userpage? It has a white rectangle on the left....why is that?Have I messed something up?

hye~
does the slice on the right most is supposed to repeat like that when uploaded?
since i put my character on the rite it seems weird..

yes. that slice is suppose to repeat. to make it not repeat, in your template, just empty slice 3 or just leave that slice filled with the color of your background.

btw, a tip. aligning character to the right is a hard thing to do. It CAN be done, but only if you know how to place your character.

about the messed try get a mod to help. they will reset your guestbook or something if I remember correctly.

on the rectangle side, is it on slice 6? check back your template, its the slice left bottom. from what I see that slice is just plain white. you might want to change to black to fit your userpage.

thanks, I'll try to do omething about it...

its flames_zerox@hotmail.com

Hi! I'm having problems with the background. When I'm saving it to create the web page, it creates the images properly but it gives them .gif, I search but I don't see where I can change this option to .jpg and it's quite frustating. Can you help me?

Thanks a lot

check back step 6. when saving it for web, select all slice (Ctrl+A) and set the preset under the save button to Jpeg Medium.

you missing this step means you didnt follow the tutorial properly. check the tutorial back, every last one of them if you have any problem.

Thanks!

My skin doesn't seem to work properly on every page.
All slices line up properly in this image.
The support page is completely off.
The control panel is slightly off.
How do I fix this? x.X

not that it doesnt work properly on every page, that is how it SUPPOSE to work. MT's layout customization is no perftect. slice 7 (right most content slice) only repeats itself on the right most box part. it doesnt start on the content box. and I see you didnt make any repeating images for slice 6. (left most, bottom)

no repeat downward on the content part. MT was designed without them in the 1st place. why? there was no need for them. MT's layout never use a transparent box in the 1st place.

it looks shorter because that is the lowest part of tha page. See it stops after the "0.0452sec. (43% PHP, 57% SQL) 9 queries"?. Since it already reaches the lowest page of the page, the slice stops showing.

pretty much the same as I have mentioned earlier.


In conclusion, there is nothing wrong with your layout. That is how it suppose to work. My suggestion, you need to think more carefully in your design. There is a limit to what kind of design one can make in MT. You must build around those limits to make a nice layout. If you don't, well, it becomes as it is now. And another thing, MT's layout was not designed with a transparent box. So if you still want to use them, you will have to work a lot more to make them look nice.

Alright, I appreciate you taking to time to reply. Working around it is no problem. Thanks.

oh..... thanks for tutorial. I 'll try to do like its
