Left Tabs

On Dec 18th, 2007 you responded to a person asking about left tabs, and text rotation.

You stated the only way to accomplish this was to use a graphic. Can you provide an example of how the graphic was created, and then how that is assigned to the tab?

I would like to create these graphics for my application, but am unclear what rules must be followed for the design of this graphic, so that it appears as nice as your main page graphics, and also how that graphic is assigned to each tab.

Thank you.

You can use any image acceptable by browser - gif, jpg, png ( preferable in gif format, in such case you can made them transparent), of any necessary size
