Forum:Front Page Redesign - Graphic Help Requested

Hi, guys. I've been working on a sleeker look for The Third Turn's front page, and have been trying to create a theme. I'm pretty close to what I want, but I need a little technology/software help for some things I don't have the software for. If anyone would be so kind as to help me with the main task - I would like every arrow and the actual site logo (the giant 3) to be trimmed down so that instead of white space being revealed if the background is dark, that it looks like a little white edge is instead surrounding the image. I don't honestly know what that's called, but I know it'd be an svg file (ex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:General_Mills.svg)

The other question is this. Is it possible to have a table have a background image, instead of color? Like how the Monaco header can instead be linked to a URL containing the image one wants to appear?

Any help with those two questions would be greatly appreciated. --DaNASCAT 20:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
