Hi guys,

elv - nice suggestion, thanks.

Chad - that's a good idea. I did a little theming of the vote up/down module recently, and imagine that quite a lot of people are now implementing voting stuff on their sites. Not sure about making a killing though...if only I charged...;)

Great Article. Love the site.. would love to see new content added on a regular basis! How about a quick how-to on editing a vote module?

Example: Theming the Vote-Up/Down Module .. or Theming 5 Star.

You could make a killing! :)

If your background has no

If your background has no transparency, you can also use a single image, with rounded corners on both top and bottom. Then you have to add a padding so the background in #sbarleft_top won't cover the bottom of #sidebar_left.
The benefits are:
- you only need to edit one image if you have to make changes
- less image files, useful if you use this solution on a lot of differently themed blocks

The CSS would then be:

#sidebar_left {
background: url(images/sidebar_bot.jpg) no-repeat left bottom;
padding-bottom: 10px; /* or more if your image height is bigger*/
}
#sbarleft_top {
background: url(images/sidebar_top.jpg) no-repeat left top;
}
