I bought a bunch of plug-ins and themes, and ended hooked up with RW, today I finished a webpage that I want to use for a Hispanic Podcast and I realized that even that it looks pretty amazing on my new iMac, on my PBG4 12" screen it show a different color background that doesn't show up on my iMac, Why is this happening? how can I fix that? if you want to see the page I'm working on here it is:

the page I'm working on

Yup...been using RW for a long time. Not sure why RW is changing background color, why not try the RW forums? Good looking site, BTW.

Mine's here, I use a customized version of BlueBall High-Colors theme. It needs to be better organized. I have another site here dedicated to Ghost Recon.

I try but when I post this same question they banned me for spam posting... could you believe that?? how can I ask for this kind of problem without showing my page for visual examination? those administrators are jerks, they don't even read, they just banned you and thats it!

Which browsers are you using on both machines? It could be a ColourSync related issue (e.g. OmniWeb and Safari support colour matching using ColourSync profiles whereas Gecko based browsers such as Camino and Firefox currently do not). For instance, if I view your site in OmniWeb it looks fine, if I view it in Firefox it has a different coloured background around the content area that doesn't match the margins.

OK. When I see it with Safari in my new iMac Intel Aluminum (Intel Core 2 Extreme 24") it looks fine. but when I saw it on my Powerbook 12" G4 in Safari I can see the different colors. If I use the Flock browser to see the same page I will see the differents colors too even if I'm looking at it on the same new iMac. What can I do then...?

Is Safari on your G4 version 2 or version 3, because it is only version 3 where Safari gained this capability (I think)? I think Flock is a Gecko based browser but I don't know anything about it to be honest.

I can't really help out on the RapidWeaver side of things as I have no idea what theme you have used to generate your pages. However, did you use the system's colour picker to select the background colour(s). If so, that could be the problem...

yes, thats what I did. I use the color picker for that. what can I do then?

Maybe use the web safe colors within the color pallete?

I will try that then, thanx a lot! happy new year! BTW

I'm playing with it now myself.

I've been comparing it with iweb. I like the increased number of themes and the increased flexibility as opposed to iWeb.

So far I'm pretty happy with it. I'm also happy with the forums, over at realmacsoftware they're very helpful and I've got a ton of help.
