Drupal Region vs. Background to the Drupal Region
Hi Folks -
Without seeing the PSD files that you folks are using, I'm going to guess that what you are doing is designing your content_drupal or left_drupal layer directly with the colors, gradients, borders, etc.
The problem with that is that it is that exact layer (content_drupal, left_drupal, etc.) that is being _replaced_ with the content from drupal. It is the size and placement of whatever is in that layer that we use to define the size and placement of the DIV that the Drupal content will occupy. The actual color in that layer is not rendered (the Drupal content is rendered instead).
So the solution is to make another layer (possibly one for each _drupal layer) that has the color, the gradients, the borders etc. That layer behind the _drupal layer shouldn't be named with the _drupal layer naming convention - it's just the background for the content.
You might suggest that we use the colors, gradients etc. in the _drupal layer as a CSS background image to the DIV. But in practice, that isn't usually what you want anyway - the Drupal content (text) will render right to the very edge - to the pixel - of the _drupal layer size and position. Usually you are drawing a background and border for that content and usually backgrounds and certainly borders are larger than the actual content.
So for example: Suppose we are designing just the left column region of our theme. Try making one layer for the background of the left column with the colors, gradients, borders, drop shadows, etc. We want the text that Drupal will render for the left column to fit inside this layer - not right exactly to the edge, but inside the borders, etc. Name that layer left_background or something. Then make a second layer on top of that one that is a little smaller, that defines exactly the size and position you want the Drupal text to render into. THAT is the layer you want to name left_drupal. It doesn't matter what color you draw that layer with, it will be replaced with the text that Drupal will render. But what is extremely important is the size and placement of what you draw in that layer.
I hope that makes sense. If not - please ask more questions in this forum. Thanks!
Hhmm ... I think I feel a video tutorial coming on... :)
