Contents Area Border

 The Contents Area is a rectangular area in the middle of the Curved Corner Box.  It starts at about 1/4 inch in from the curved corners.  You can change it's attributes, like it's 'Background Color' or it's 'Background Graphic URL' independently of the outside Curved Corners Area.  One nice thing to do is to assign a graphic to the outside curved corners and then assign a background color of white to the Contents Area.

 Along with a background color of white for the Contents Area, a nice thing to do as well is to add a border to the Contents Area.  Then you could come out with something like this (the text of the Contents Area would be replaced with your text of course):

Your content would go here including pure text, and/or HTML link tags, and/or other HTML code

 To set a border for the Contents Area, first select the checkbox before the field titled: "Show content area border?".  After that you have 2 other border settings you can manipulate.  The first is border width (in pixels).  Just type the # directly into the field provided and then click outside the field or press RETURN within the field to update the WYSIWYG Box Display.  I like border widths of 1 or 2 best.

 You can also set the color of the border on the Contents Area.  You can change this setting two ways, you can enter a color value directly into the form field provided or you can use the 'Color Picker' link next to the field.  If you choose the 'Color Picker' link, you will be transferred to the Color Picker page which you can then use to choose the Border Color without having to know anything about web RGB hex codes and the like.  Refer to the documentation in this manual for the 'Color Picker'.

 The other option for changing the Border Color is to enter the value directly into the field provided using either a 3 digit RGB hex code or a 6 digit RGB hex code or a HTML Color Name.  This option is for webmasters that know what RGB hex codes are and want the greater color options that entering RGB hex codes directly gives them.  Once you change this field to what you want, just mouse click anywheres outside this field and the WYSIWYG display will update to reflect your new setting.

  My feelings are that in most cases you can't go wrong with setting this attribute to black.
