Titel/Forum backgroundimage  H A C K
I made this  H A C K  for myself,
but I thought maybe other people want it too.
I know iB 3 is upcomming, but I can't imagine
there won't be anybody left with iB 2.1.7/2.1.8

Example: http://www.MarilouMaes.com/

As always BACKUP your files before hacking, and I am not 
responsible for anything going fubar.
H A C K  works on 2.1.8 and most previous versions (probably)


Editing is done in the follwing files:

        <!-- Cgi-bot Announcements Title -->

            </td>
        </tr>
        <!-- Cgi-bot End Announcements Title -->
        ~;

#------- END OF HTML


Now search for:

    if ($categoryplace ne $lastcategoryplace) {
        $output .= qq~<tr><td bgcolor=$catback colspan=5><font face="$font" color=$catfontcolor size=3><b>&raquo; $category</b></font></td></tr>~;
        }

                <font face="$font" color=$titlefontcolor size=2>
                <b>Users active in the past 15 minutes</b></font>


save and upload

Now open the last file (setstyles.cgi).

Search for:

                <tr>
                <td bgcolor=#FFFFFF valign=middle align=left>
                <font face=verdana color=#333333 size=1>Board titles/thread title bar font color</font></td>
                <td bgcolor=#FFFFFF valign=middle align=left>
                <input type=text size=20 name="titlefontcolor" value="$titlefontcolor"></td>
                </tr>

Below add:

                
                <tr>
                <td bgcolor=#FFFFFF valign=middle align=left>
                <font face=verdana color=#333333 size=1>Board titles/thread title bar background image</font></td>
                <td bgcolor=#FFFFFF valign=middle align=left>
                <input type=text size=20 name="titlebg" value="$titlebg"></td>
                </tr>

Now make a gif-image (1 x 31) and upload it in your
non-cgi images directory. In the "Admincenter"
go te the "Set Styles" page and fill the name
of your picture in in the field at:
"Board titles/thread title bar background image" 

(You can find examples of the gif-file in the .zip file!)

And you are done!
