Hey there.

I have a sales page at How To Lose Belly Fat - The Healthy Weight Loss Dieting Plan | The Lunch Box Diet - Best Weight Loss Dieting Plan - How To Lose Belly Fat and want to get a nice background behind the video at the top so it surrounds it.

I'm okay in photoshop and wordpress but not quite sure how to do it!

Any help would be apprechiated

Regards

Simon

Simon, do you mean a player skin for the video? or do you mean a background behind the video so it doesn't look so washed out on the white...

not sure about the player skin but definitely you can do a border of any kind

by inserting a div to house the video like so:
Code:

<div style="text-align:center; margin: 0 auto; display: block; background-color: #68B213; border: 2px solid #145D30; padding: 20px;"> <script type="text/javascript"> var playerhost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://www.ezs3.com/secure/" : "http://www.ezs3.com/players/"); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + playerhost + "flv/boylovell/ED24F063-EF4A-4B96-B833DBD27F6273A0.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));</script></div>
what I've done there is created a div behind your video which will give you the green background with the darker green border around it.
