New Themes

Found the problem...

The shared PC I used to check ie6 had the the text size set to smaller in the view dropdown menu (View>Text size>smaller).

It is this that made the font size so small it was unreadable. The text size is fine once the text size is returned to medium (which I presume is the default).

So you'll be glad to know the theme was indeed "not guilty" (:smile😊

I can't believe I left that one out. (Where's the slaps-forehead smiley? (:wink😊) I'll attach the image (and the menuhover background image too) to this post and also add them to the file gallery. Thanks for pointing out the oversight.

By the way, it's easy to make variations of these images to suit your site. Just open them (one page background image file and one menu hover background image) up in a graphics program (I like the former-Macromedia Fireworks) and resize the width to a few hundred pixels so you can see how they look when tiled horizontally. Then modify them by changing the hue. In Fireworks there's a slider with a numerical value for the points on the spectrum. Then save the change, reduce the width to one pixel again, and save with a name that indicates the color. Then use as described for the bundled alternative images (renamed with the neutral name for actual use).

This will create the current effect but in a different color. Other background image tile ideas could be used as long as they have the right dimensions from the top of the page to provide the backgrounds accurately for the various sections of title, menu and page content.

(Another BTW, I found that if more than one attachment is needed for a post, just post with one the first time and then edit the post to add the next attachment.)
