So what did you need me for? That looks good. Wanna remove the custom bits and release it as a default variant?

Thanks for variations. I will try them.

Warning: this PSD was made during testing of Curve and a change was made to Curve for the actual RC2 release. The PSD is 2300x664 and the main_block.png in Curve RC2 is 2300x864. You can use the PSD to sort out your custom colour schemes but will need to stretch the middle section of it by 200px in height before saving it as a png.

Antech , may i ask which is the "(middle section)" of it to stretch 200px in height and or "name" of it??
...... I do not see ''middle section'' in the PSD layers ?

[Antechinus]

The middle. The psd has a guide at the top of the footer. (620px down from the top) To make the frame_repeat.png you cut a thin slice across the psd and save as png. Ok, so if you take that slice and expand it to 200px in height, and shove it in between the footer and the rest of the main_block.png, then you get an image 864px high.

I understand , that's just to complex for Crip to even try..Lol

Thanks very much.

I didnt go that route but i will try it.  What ive done is,  i created and empty transparent box at 2300x864 and transfered every layer from the default .psd attached in the first post.

I was able to save it that way.  I kept it as my universal template for other variations.
