documentation

To get it functional, copy the box.png and box-borders.png to the theme directory.
In the element for which you want themed borders, such as block.tpl.php, place this code at the start

drop_box_start( 'box', array( color => 0xFFFFF ) );

and at the end

drop_box_end('box');

The name at the start of the functions references the box.png and box-borders.png, so if you want multiple types, simply create new filenames as {$name}.png and {$name}-borders.png. Also, if you want the module to function with IE6 and hopefully before, you'll need to create box.gif, and box-borders.gif. This was done so that opacity would function for those browsers which allowed it, and simple transparency for those which could not.

To add a title for the box, simply add within array( 'color' => colorcode, 'title'=> 'Title here' ).

With this you should be able to do fancier drop boxes.

This is a very basic module right now. It would be possible to add more functions, but it couldn't think of them and really have a heavy time schedule right now which precludes me from adding much more. However, if you make suggestions, I can always add :).

Documentation as listed here has been added to the README.txt, and should hopefully be the CVS.

I'm getting :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /var/www/../block.tpl.php on line 2

on drupal 5.8, unfortunately my php skills are nill ... any suggestion ?
thx

I fixed the error in the code written above.
The problem is in the array( 'color' = 0x000) ... it should be array('color' => 0x000).
I apologize for the problem, and hopefully this helps a bit more. Unfortunately I've been incredibly busy trying to stay alive. I will get to place this into the document for the module very soon.
