Change Background Color of BTO Categories

Hi,
   I'm sure it's possible, but am equally certain it would involve some custom code. Don't forget, if you use images as background then there is an extra overhead as each time a new category is downloaded those images are downloaded.

Thanks for the responses.

What we are really trying to do is implement a gradient that starts and ends in each separate category. The gradient would be the same in every category, so hopefully we could find a way to implement a universal change. If we can figure out how to modify the background in each separate category, we will probably be able to figure out how to add the gradient.

The reason we want to add this gradient is to break up the BTO categories to create more of a step by step process feel instead of having a very long list of products with only the category heading separating the categories. Originally, we wanted to have separate pages for each category, but from our research, that seems to be even more difficult of a source code modification.

BTW - This has a further, related Mod, to make the BTO items list two wide and more compact.

Hi,
   BTO as supplied supports alternating backgrounds via CSS.

To modify the look we examined the page source code from the generated pages and then examined the ASP source code to work out what to change & where. The multi-column was, if I remember correctly,  a much trickier modification.
