Themes and page banners?

[Guest]

I'm doing a simple web site and I would like to use themes - they meet my
needs for a small straightforward site. But I'm having one big problem and I
haven't found a work-around: FP Themes automatically display the page title
for both the nav buttons and the page banner at the top. I'm fine with the
nav buttons, but I do NOT want the page title to be the banner. I wanted all
my pages to have the same banner - ie tha name of the site. Has anyone found
a way to handle this?

An easy(?) way of handling this is to:

Create a new page (this will be temporary) and save it.

Add the page to Navigation View, and change the page title in Nav. view
to the name of your website.

In the new page, add a banner (if you are using shared borders on all
pages this will probably be done for you) This will create the banner
you require for all pages. Now it's just a question of getting to it.

The next steps cannot be done in FrontPage.
Open Windows Explorer and browse to the folder where your website is
stored. Open the _derived folder.

In Windows Explorer, use Tools->Folder Options
On the View tag, in the Advanced Settings section tick the box "Do not
cache thumbnails" and click OK. This prevents the thumbs.db file being
created in the next step - you do NOT want thumbs.db in any website
folder.

Use View->Thumbnails to see the images in the derived folder, and locate
the new banner. Copy this to the images folder.

Rename the image (in the images folder) to something sensible, such as
mybanner.gif - do NOT change the extension.

Close Windows Explorer.

In FrontPage, run Tools->Recalculate Hyperlinks to update the meta data
and allow FP to recognise the renamed banner image.

Delete the new page - this will delete the old banner (for this page)
from the _derived folder.

Delete the theme banners from your pages and replace them with the new
banner in the images folder.
