Creating the Background Images

This layout uses two background images to give the illusion of column colors. The images must be wide enough to ensure they fill the largest screen. Here, they are 2000px wide.

The first image will be used to create the #content and #news column background colors.

The second image will be used to create the #nav column background color. Because this image sits over the top of the first image, it must have a transparent background as shown in Figure 21.2.
