[TYPO3] Transparent GIF in GMENU - FIXED!

[Scotty C]

Hi Christian and Susanne,

First of all, thank you very much for helping me plow
through this beast. I *finally* figured it out ...
although I don't know what the problem was! I
remembered that I designed another site a year ago
that utilized transparent menu items, so I just copied
the code. Here's the result:


     subparts.SIDENAV = HMENU
     subparts.SIDENAV.1 = GMENU
     subparts.SIDENAV.1.NO {
        wrap = | <BR>

        # width,height of button
        XY = 156,20
	
	transparentBackground = 1

        10 = TEXT
        10.text.field = title
        10.fontSize = 11
        10.offset = 1,10
        10.align = left
        #10.niceText = 1
        10.fontColor = white
        10.fontFile = fileadmin/fonts/BNKGOTHM.TTF
        10.antiAlias = 0
 
     }

     subparts.SIDENAV.1.RO < subparts.SIDENAV.1.NO
     subparts.SIDENAV.1.RO = 1
     subparts.SIDENAV.1.RO {
        wrap = &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; | <BR>

        XY = 156,20
 
	transparentBackground = 1

        10 = TEXT
        10.text.field = title
        10.fontSize = 11
        10.offset = 1,10
        10.align = left
        10.niceText = 1
        10.fontFile = fileadmin/fonts/BNKGOTHM.TTF
        10.fontColor = blue
        10.antialias = 0

      }


Again, I don't see anything out of the ordinary here
except for one thing: I may have set the text offset
too high, making the items "disappear" (or so it
seemed). At any rate, it's solved and I'm very happy!
You can see the result at www.stormat.ca

But now I have a new problem: I need to set custom CSS
for the mininews module on the home page. You'll see
that it's got black text but needs to be white. The
problem is, it would appear that the mininews module
just uses the <P> tag styles, so if I set <P> color to
white, the text changes. However, so does the rest of
the text in the entire site. Looks like I've got
another mess - can anybody help here?

Thanks so much!
-Scott.
