Change button size (in theme)?

B

Barry

I want to change the size of a graphic (vertical nav button) in a theme.
I have used FP to make a copy of the theme, then used a graphics editor to
mod the size (of all 3 versions of the graphic), then in FP I've customised
the them to use these (.gif) graphics. But the original graphic still
displays.

Can someone point me to how to mod a theme graphic

You have to save the modified theme under a new name, remove the current theme and then apply the
newly modified theme.

Format Theme (select you old theme) Modify/Customize Graphics
Select the vertical nav and browse to your new graphic location
(it should be an image w/ a new file name in you FP web - not w/i the current theme folder)
When done use Save As and apply a new theme name
Then apply the new theme name to all your pages using Format theme and run a Tool Recalculate Hyperlinks

Thanks Stefan.
I followed your intsructions and my new graphics now appear, but they are
being stretched to 140 pixels wide (which seems the width of a std vertical
navigation graphic in a theme).
Can a graphic (used in the left shared border & based on nav structure) be
replaced with a smaller one, or is this an FP limitation.

Delete previous comment.
I saved the work re-opened it ... and the smaller graphics now work OK.
Thanks Stefan for your guidance.
