Section Image--Dark Backgrounds

[grizzlebeans]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or something I'm doing wrong. I'd like to select an image for my section that has a dark background. However, when I select the image I want nothing appears. Actually the image DOES appear but the problem is I can't see it because the dark background isn't there like it is in the image basket.

I figure there should be a way to display your section images that have been designed for dark apparel. Is there a way around this besides creating and uploading a seperate image that isn't transparent?

The Image basket backgrounds are there so that you can see the image in the basket. They have no correllation with the images that you use for your sections.

I suggest that you create a specific image for your section thumbnails, thats what I do.

Cheers,

That's kinda what I figured--was hoping I could find a way around creating all those extra images. My basket is getting kinda full these days. :)

I save all my section images as zzz_ImageName so that they end up at the bottom of the basket.

Cheers,

That's a nifty trick. Except for me it seems to place them on top of the basket. Oh well--still keeps them a little tidier. So--as long as we don't give them any keywords these images won't appear in the shopping mall right?

Make sure you are viewing your order by image name, not newest to oldest.

Yep--image name. It appears to be reversing the alphabet. ZZZs on top and AAAs on the bottom. Maybe it's working the right way for you because you're upside-down in Australia. :)
