Is it possible to have a top to bottom gradient (darker to transparent) in the title background? I think that normally a gradient would not be practical but I'm trying for a different look where a gradient might enhance the title background. I've studied the CSS - even experimented a little bit - but it's either impossible, impractical, or beyond my knowledge set.

FYI - at first I wasn't too keen on some of the changes implemented in Neptune but I've really grown to like Neptune - a LOT. Thanks for creating a wonderful skin. Very much appreciated.

Yes, I've tried that and it is the effect that I want except that I want to use it when the Parallax theme image is checked. What I'm attempting is to have the title background (with gradient) at the top of the page using the Parallax. I'm probably not describing it very well but go to this LINK to see an example. I like the Parallax feature but would also like to have the title background at the top with a gradient that would allow the icons/titles to display clearly, especially when the background is too light.

When the title background is positioned lower (not touching the top) the gradient doesn't make a lot of sense and perhaps it doesn't make much sense at all - but it was something I wanted to try. The example in the link could probably benefit from a darker background but a smooth gradient from dark to transparent seems more appealing than an abrupt delineation at the image. If possible, great - if not, all is OK - Neptune is a great skin.

Glad you like the skin - I wish more people would give it a try. I've tried to configure things so that, without any messing around, you can get a polished, well laid-out album. But if you really want to tinker, I've kept the CSS fairly straightforward, without endlessly complicated selectors.

The parallax theme image, however, is a very tricky beast to handle - it took me forever to get it working properly in the first place, and modifying it is a bit of a minefield.

Appreciate your comment about wishing more people would try Neptune. I think if they did try it and spend a few moments trying the features most appealing to them, they would adopt it in a heartbeat. I really enjoyed Matrix and, while it was certainly an excellent skin for creating classy looking photo albums, Neptune is so many more steps forward. Just a treat to use.

Hit a slight snag. If there is any content in Title Description it's pushed down past the min-height - at least that's what I believe is happening. See LINK

I haven't begun to experiment but it occurred to me that one solution would be change the min-height to equal the height of ne-pagetitleTI and reconfigure the gradient to match up to a CSS gradient for pagedescription. I'm guessing at least one "gotcha" with this approach would be a visible line where the two gradients meet.

Another thought I had would be to leave the gradient as-is and put a negative top-margin value on the pagedescription CSS.

Before proceeding with trial & error experimentation I thought I would ask you for the best solution.

Thanks for the explanation. It definitely confirms my suspicion that the solution is way above my pay grade - LOL.

negative top-margin worked fine. I've used it a couple times in the past without any ill side effects that I could observe. My impression is that negative margin settings should be avoided for the most part ... I believe it works fine in this situation. Thanks again for your help.

I have several pages to update, a task for later today or even tomorrow due to a crowded schedule.
