Hi, how can I get back my gradient image on my menu tabs?

This is what I got in Thesis v. 1.5

.custom ul#tabs li {
background: #EFEFEF url(‘images/tab_custom.gif’) repeat-x scroll center top;
}

Everything else converted fine in v. 1.7 except the menu tabs even after changing ul#tabs li to .menu li ul.

One of the best theme but one of the most difficult to customize, well that's as long as you get the right help from bloggers helping your cause. Geez, I love this theme but it's scary sometimes on the right code, I've had many reinstalls of files because I'm always touchin stuff. Had to throwup a generic theme at my site just so I won't break nothing. And all the while i'm customizing in the background on my home server. Keep the tutorials coming thanx.

Is this correct #tabs .current-cat = .menu .tab.current Someone has reported problem on forum

http://diythemes.com/forums/showthread.php?p=74...

I see no space between .tab.current so should it be .tab .current

Or should it be .menu .current-cat

I don't know the answer - what does current-cat mean anyway?.

Keith

Edit I presuming it is current category.
In Firebug I can see .menu .current-cat

I had a huge problem with this because the design options panel on the theme page had stopped working and it could only be accessed at the bottom of the page. As a new thesis user it took me ages!

I think that I will not upgrade sites from one version of thesis to another if the site is working as I and my clients want.

I do think thesis is absolutely amazing after only a few hours playing with it and doing a quick redesign of my company webdesign site in that time. I also changed my personal blog over to thesis 1.6 and at the moment it is just the standard design with the standard images but it still blows away the various predecessors.

Surely you can change back by just ftp'ing a copy of 1.5 to your wordpress themes folder. I am pretty sure you can still download 1.5. If not I have a copy saved which if you can prove to me that you are a registered user and the thesis folks don't tell me it's a bad idea I could happily email to anyone who needs it.

I'm not happy. I've never been unable to change back. I was hoping the change back to 1.5 would be simple. I have totally lost my background image and have no access to the options area so I can say use custom.css.

I can access the css in cpanel but how do I get 1.5 back? Pls don't say I can't. weep, sob..

Is there a trick to getting your background image to work. i use (images/nameoffile.jpg) as my call in css. Do I use the full url or other?

Thanx
