Which part/element of the page are we talking about?

The part with the white patch behind the navigation on the left. The gradient should be seen from the body div.

and it's the div#sidebar-left which is giving me trouble. Thanks!

The problem comes from div#content-outer-wrap and and this setting,

background:transparent url(/themes/lightfantastic/./assets/images/content-outer-wrap.png) repeat-y scroll left top;

If I use firebug to change to

background:transparent none;

it looks ok (not sure the purpose that image is meant to serve).

Thanks, the image is there as it's part of the original theme..... and I've only added the gradient now.

All the best,
Ciaran

I will guess you're talking about left sidebar... remove the background image from div#content-outer-wrap and it will be ok.

All the best
