how do i change the default theme to point to the gif version of icons rather than the png version eg to top_login.gif instead of top_login.png etc etc.

Which files/template files do i need to change? is there an easy way? thanks.

Had that problem earlier, then from gif to png, solved it with this one-liner (in tmpl-dir):

 $ for e in $(perl -e 'chdir("../images"); ($i = `ls *.png`) =~ s/\.png//g; print $i'); do perl -pi -e "s/$e\\.gif/$e\\.png/g" *; done

But... Why change back to gif?

thanks but i don't understand, is this one line that has to be added to a specific file, if so which; or is it a one line standalone file? i don't understand these things

need to change to gif because the png's take an age to download in ie .. some kind of javascript problem the gurus tell me. how this becomes part of the default installation (95% of surfers use ie don't they?) is beyond me but what do i know.

That's the holy question, follow rules of Redmond or use the official standars from w3c? (and it's good if ie loads it slowly, then more people is going to use alternative browsers Smile

)

and that code, it's ment to be excecuted in some POSIX-compatible shell.

i'm not interested in a crusade against microsoft, i just want a forum that works nicely for my users. life's too short.

as for the posix stuff, presumably that means i need shell access, which i don't. is there another way? what files do i need to change. here's hoping ...

ok, you need to change all entries for the specific files in your .tmpl-files from .png to .gif
