[SOLVED] Resizing an image and adding black colour not white.

[::SvD::]

First of all I want to greet all of the users of PrestaShop

I have a question.

I'm adding new pictures for my items. But when I'm adding picture 400x500 pix it add a white border, so the picture is 500x500 with white border. Is there any way to change default colour from white to black? It would really help me a lot!

Picture how it looks on my shop:

Anyone can help me?

If you find out, please tell us all. I thought it was a css rule but could not find the answer either and the website I am working on looks terrible with a white background.

have a look in images.inc.php in the root folder of your prestashop install

$white = imagecolorallocate($destImage, 255, 255, 255);

try changing to

$white = imagecolorallocate($destImage, F, F, F);

for black background

I think this line appears twice in the file once, for enlarging image and once for cutting image, so you might have to make two alterations

Do I need to recreate the subcategory images?? Mine are still messed up - http://premierlogmfg.com/35-douglas-fir - thanks for your input, we are close to getting this fixed. Thanks for your help and please look to see if it could be anything else.

Yes, you need to go to Preferences > Images > Regenerate thumbnails after making this code change to change the background colour of the images.

Bartman,

I have been looking for this for ages. It works like charm.

Thanks
