If you search around you'll find quite a few threads that discuss this. For example: http://www.cubecart.com/site/forums/index....amp;#entry52707

Best of luck.

Easy enough.

LEGEND

In the Legend skin, the logo is part of an image called topHeader.jpg, size 756 X 116 px, located in skins/Legend/styleImages/backgrounds/topHeader.jpg

Example:

The logo image is referenced in layout.css at #topHeader, located in skins/Legend/styleSheets/layout.css

The logo image is referenced in layout.css at #topHeader, located in skins/Killer/styleSheets/layout.css The logo image is referenced in layout.css at #pageSurround, located in skins/Classic/styleSheets/layout.css

#topHeader {

	text-align: right;

	height: 116px;

	margin-bottom: 10px;

	padding-right: 9px;

	padding-top: 0px;

	background-image: url(../styleImages/backgrounds/topHeader.jpg);

	border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;

}

KILLER



In the Killer skin, the logo is part of an image called topHeader.gif, size 165 X 96 px, located in skins/Killer/styleImages/backgrounds/topHeader.gif



Example:

#topHeader {

	text-align: right;

	height: 100px;

	background-image: url(../styleImages/backgrounds/topHeader.gif);

	background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

CLASSIC



In the Classic skin, the logo is part of an image called contentBg.jpg, size 355 X 599 px, located in skins/Classic/styleImages/backgrounds/contentBg.jpg



Example:

#pageSurround {

	width: 748px;

	margin: 0px auto;

	padding: 5px;

	border: 2px solid #333333;

	background-color: #FFFFFF;

	background-image: url(../styleImages/backgrounds/contentBg.jpg);

	background-repeat: no-repeat;

	background-position: left top;	

}

Nice tutorial Mark.

The files are images and they reside in your skins/your skin/styleImages/backgrounds folder. You can either download the ones on your server by FTP, edit and upload it or make your own. In the case of Legend skin, make a new image that is 756 X 116 px, put your grass and lawnmower images in it, name it topHeader.jpg and overwrite the original image. How you make your image is a topic for another forum. I use Photoshop but you can use any good graphics editor.

are there any free programs out there that will make a header image ????? just thought i would ask this

[Guest kaskudoo]

hehehe, maybe you could attach the image files on some forum post and someone is so nice and makes one for you?

when you say attach the image files you mean to attach the picture file on here and they can actually make one header ?

[Guest kaskudoo]

i meant that, if there is someone having too much free time, then there might be a chance that someone can do a header for ya.

usually you would hire a graphic designer, but i did mine myself (i do have quite some experience though)

do you have any idea for your logo already?

Although it doesn't sound like you have very much experience in this area, to answer your question you can look at The Gimp. It is a free alternative to Adobe's Photoshop, although the two hardly compare.

Hope that helps,
