Page Decoration

These value will set the overall look of your store. The images used and the navigation buttons are derived from a folder you create in the "Layouts" folder. The folder you create must have a "Buttons" sub folder to hold your navigation button images. You can create as many different folders as you want and simply change the look by switching to another folder. See full instructions for details on the images to use here.

Colors can be entered either by name or hex value. IE: navy blue or #000080.

layout folder:  The name you give the folder you create to hold decoration images and a "Buttons" folder. By default, the "Plain" folder is used. This folder contains small transparent gifs used as placeholders. You can also view the results by entering the included Cyber demo folder.
page color:  If you want a background color for the store pages, enter it here. You can use either hex values or color names.
or use image, "body.gif":  Instead of a page background color you can elect to use a background image. It is must be called "body.gif" in the layout folder you create. This image will tile to the size of the window.
messages page color:  If you want a default background color for the store message pages, enter it here. This color can be changed on individual message pages set up using the Message Mentor. You can use either hex values or color names. Note that message pages are not previewed here.
or use image, "body.gif":  Instead of a default page background color for the message pages, you can elect to use a default background image. It is must be called "body.gif" in the layout folder you create. This image will tile to the size of the window. This image can be changed in favor of a color on individual message pages set up using the Message Mentor. Note that message pages are not previewed here.
header color:  This is a color band background running the width of the table used to make up a page. This is set, by default, to 480 pixels wide and 80 pixels high.
or use header, "hrow.gif":  Instead of a color band you can elect to tile an image into the header row. It is must be called "hrow.gif" in the layout folder you create. This image will tile to the size of the header.
column color:  This is a color band background running the height of the left hand column of the table used to make up a page. The width will vary between 20, 40, or 80 pixels depending on the particular page.
or use image, "col.gif":  Instead of a color you can elect to tile a background image in the column. It is must be called "col.gif" in the layout folder you create. This image will tile to the size of the column.
header logo:  You can browse for a file or enter a file name. By default, we use the MyStore "power.gif" that you see when viewing the page. You can change this to your own store logo image. Logo images greater than 80 pixels in height can be used. They will cause the header row to size accordingly. Save the store logo image in the main "Graphics" folder. Try entering mall.gif; it is included in your "Graphics" folder as an example of a larger size.
logo alt. text:  Text that you want to display when a customer puts the mouse pointer over the logo.
logo link:  The URL that you want to redirect a customer to when clicking your logo. By default this will open a new window.

NOTES:
The store logo file name will not appear in the box next to the browse button when loading an existing file. For browser security reasons this is a read only form field. To see the logo, click the "display" button or one of the "refresh" buttons.
