Unique Category Images

[Luke B]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get each category to have its own unique image.
Currently I have an image set in the "Category Strip Title" in the CP.
This is what it looks like
I would like to have each one of those blue blocks be different colored images.

Your thoughts?

For category strips, I think this is what you need: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/replacing-the-category-strip-with-image-s.15789/#post-207307

You can adjust the CSS for each individual category, adding background images for example.

I just got here with that exact same link.

Thank you Brogan,

"First remove all the styling from the category strip and then re-apply it individually."

1.Can I do this from the "style properties" section of the control panel or do I have to go into the actual templates?
2.Is this just the "category strip" or does this mean the category title as well?

You need to use EXTRA.css - place all your code in that template.

The category title won't be affected by those styling changes.
