There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

I'm trying to add a border (using a gradient image) using ATO -> Style & Configure Layout -> Layout Container Style.

I've got some of it to work, but I cant get the image to go all the way around the layout.

I've also tried setting the image to a right side and a left side but the same image shows on both sides.

Here you will see the border on the left side is correct (a gradient blue) http://www.ffstock.com/blog/

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

I also want to know how to do this.

I found what could be a solution here:
http://www.webcredible.co.uk/user-fr...-borders.shtml

It has you add four <div> areas, one for each border, then in CSS add a background image that repeats starting from each corner.

But I can't seem to actually add new <div>'s within the Layout Container Style editor. Or something else is going wrong.

Somebody who knows this stuff please help!

Where are you trying to add the gradient image? I only see a solid background for the site.

CSS does not allow you to use an image as a border. You would have to edit the theme code to implement the idea in post #2

I did create a "border" on this site by putting a background image on the div#container and using padding for the "width".

The site looks OK to me but you do have a quote missing from your image path at the end.

I'm a bit lost, trying to create a drop shadow border around the whole site. I created a png of a drop shadow, and used the above code in Add HTML/CSS Inserts - but no joy. Any other direction? Thanks!
