Great looking templates for the beta!

But, how do we get the three column / coloured effect shown in your Builders and Co template?

http://www.artisteer.com/?template_id=120&p=website_template&imsmp_templatesPage=5

It's an effect that shows up in a few of your templates and looks great. But I can't see how to reproduce it within Artisteer. Is there a setting somewhere?

I can see the layout is based on one column, not the the three displayed in the template. Also, I can't see how to change the colour within these columns.

(The html shows a table has been used, but how to do this and keep the code valid? Hopefully it can all be done using an Aristeer setting somewhere.)

I hoped not!

No problem to do, but it just seemed weird that a major part of the great look of the templates is not actually provided natively by Artisteer. :(

Artisteer, hopefully this is an upcoming feature??

(Notice also, when I change an artisteer file to a joomla version, via File / Change Template / Joomla, the template's layout changes to something much simpler and editing features such as 'html source' are removed. :-/ )

It's a table that each cell has different background. You will either have to manually enter the html code (if you are a coder) or create the content in a web editor like Dreamweaver and copy/paste the code in Artisteer. This is Artisteer's first attempt in content editing, and I'm sure more controls/features will be available to us in the future.

If you study some of the templates, you will notice some unique ways of doing things, that you would never see with the "Suggest" buttons, like the size of the menus, using the background to function also as a header, etc... Some of the online templates look very nice, I must admit.
