2. Create your background image

For this step we fire up fireworks and make a background image.

The background image just needs to have a drop shadow like below.
50% opacity
90 Degress angle from horizontal

So we make a image that is 350 by 150 (about the size of the area to the right)

we add a square and play with the stroke and end up with the background image shown below. Make sure the name is Default.png (it has to be a PNG graphic).

Can you tell I am an engineer and not a graphic artist?
