I code my designs from scratch each time and the header/footer expands to fit larger screens (1920px, 2560px etc) and fits snug for normal sized screens. If you want you can design it with a smaller width if you want it to fit on small screens (800px), or make it fluid (expand / contract). There's a tutorial on how I coded it here.

hey..when you code this into html/css, how would you make it look the same on smaller monitor screens…

I normally use the 960 grid…just wondering how you would fit this one ..

You could also bring up the Colour Picker and drag from the white area until you find a nice shade of white that you like :)

Try unlocking the layer, and if it still fails right click the layer and go Rasterize Layer.

Ok thank you now I now how I select the background, but I hope this will be the final question because when I have select the background and then do the invert selection nothing happend when I delete it.

But I have noticed that to the right on the background layer is it a lock and it stand “Indicates layer is partially locked.” Can that be the reason why it dont work? and if it is hove do I take it away?

In the layers window (list of all the layers), there are the name of the layer on the right hand side and a little icon/image of the layer on the left. While holding the control button on your keyboard, left click that icon.

Try selecting the layer first and then ctrl + click the layer’s icon (if you have a vector mask selected then you’ll get that error you mentioned).

Hi, great tutorial but im stuck at step 8, I am a beginner in photoshop and I dont understand how I am going to do at:

Select the area of the background behind the logo (Ctrl + Click the layer’s icon) and invert selection (Ctrl + Shift + I) and delete it (delete key on your keyboard). This leaves just the top part of the button – the part we want

because when I try the ctrl + click the layers icon the message come up “Could not select a layer because the point you clicked on is not inside the vector mask of a visible layer.” plz help me
