Is it possible to make this thing transparent on the next version of skin?

Is it possible to make this graphics that related to border shadow transparency on the

next skin version so people can change their background instantly and no need to edit

these graphics everytimes they wanna change background picture or color

caption_left.gif

caption_right.gif

shad_bot.gif

shad_sides.gif

I try to change this graphics to .png transparent and it's look okay but still have two

problems on the Top-Left Border - Top Right Border and Bottom Left Border - Bottom

Right Border

Top-Left Border - Top Right Border

I use transparent files caption_left.png and caption_right.png but still have bg color

Bottom Left Border - Bottom Right Border

Same above still have bg color

and I also edit css file

.captionmid { background: url(images/as3/caption_mid.gif) #efefef repeat-x; font: 13px/22px 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; height: 22px; text-align: center; width: 100%; }

.captionmid a:hover { text-decoration: none; }

.captionleft { background: url(images/as3/caption_left_image.png) no-repeat 0px 0px; float: left; height: 22px; padding-left: 15px; width: 64px; }

.captionleft a { display: block; height: 22px; width: 64px; }

.captionleft a:hover { background: url(images/as3/caption_left_image.png) no-repeat -15px -22px; }

.captionleft a:active { background: url(images/as3/caption_left_image.png) no-repeat -15px -44px; }

.captionright { background: url(images/as3/caption_right_image.png) no-repeat 0px 0px; float: right; height: 22px; padding-right: 15px; width: 64px; }

.captionright a { display: block; float: left; height: 22px; width: 64px; }

.captionright a:active { background: url(images/as3/caption_right_image.png) no-repeat 0px -22px; }

.shadleft { background: url(images/as3/shad_sides.png) repeat-y left; padding-left: 15px; }

.shadright { background: url(images/as3/shad_sides.png) repeat-y right; padding-right: 15px; }

.shadbotleft { background: url(images/as3/shad_bot.png) #E6E6E6 no-repeat 0px 0px; float: left; height: 24px; width: 79px; }

.shadbotmid { background: url(images/as3/shad_bot.png) repeat-x 0px -48px; height: 24px; text-align: center; }

.shadbotright { background: url(images/as3/shad_bot.png) #E6E6E6 no-repeat right -24px; float: right; height: 24px; width: 79px; }

#toolbar, #collapseobj_toolbar { background: url(images/as3/unified_toolbar_bg.gif) #d7d7d7 repeat-x; height: 55px; padding: 0 6px 0 6px; }

.shadbotleft { background: url(images/as3/shad_bot.png) no-repeat 0px 0px; float: left; height: 24px; width: 79px; }

.shadbotmid { background: url(images/as3/shad_bot.png) repeat-x 0px -48px; height: 24px; text-align: center; }

.shadbotright { background: url(images/as3/shad_bot.png) no-repeat right -24px; float: right; height: 24px; width: 79px; }

problem because I can change color to suit my bg color but if I use picture as my bg

so it doesn't work

The next release can you make the skin comfortable to adaptation ex. people can

change background color or background image by only use Admin Control Panel >

Style Template > Edit > Body (Customized in this Style)

and no need to work with graphics or css file

Thanks Timan

This is actually a good suggestion, to use more true transparency, in order to facilitate use of alternate backgrounds. Of course, I personally favor the * variations of Timan's skin, which effectively have *no* background.

The next version will use nothing but png, and I'll have a gif version of images too for those who don't like using them. First will be in the phpbb3 version then in the 3.7 version when thats done.
