Little Tiny Glitch in Background Color Handling

Ok, that is what I thought you meant.

The problem is the globe extends outside the colored area, so I cannot just simply crop the white strips away.

My thought was to designate white as the transparent color in the image files, which would make the background color show through.

However, I have not experimented with that yet. There may be other white in the image that we do not want to be transparent--the white in the text area inside the globe, for example. (I would have to tweak those whites to be just a slightly different color code in that case.)

It turns out that the banner images are stored as jpeg files, which do not support setting a transparency color.

I could convert them to png files which do support transparency, but the files would likely be larger, which would mean that the banner images would take longer to show up for a first time website visitor with an empty browser cache. ("First time visitor" is my performance benchmark for load speed.)

We could also try GIF files which also support transparency, but those have a more limited color palette, so the colors may not look right.

Sounds like nothing is easy ... sorry to cause you guys so much effort over a VERY TINY annoyance! I had not assumed the stupid
white bars were part of the overlay image. One other fix, paint two rectangles of the user's background color over the white stripes!
Do not loose sleep over this thing guys, there are much more important fixes and enhancements needed than this.

By the way, were are the mastheads on the site? I get 404's on any links.

Did you use the links I sent?

If you look on the test website, 123456.toastmastersclubs.org , I have an example of setting a transparency color in the banner image.

This is a png file that I converted the jpeg to and then used paint.net to alter transparency.

However, it looks terrible since, as RogerM notes, there are color gradients in this image. You end up selecting little strips of color in the image (that are part of the gradient) to make transparent. It takes forever to get any progress.
