You are correct that it (astrbane.gif ) is animated
- but it should not be
(unsupported since the nav text from overlay is combined with it and a new image is generated in the _derived folder)
Open it in an image editor and save it as say astrban.gif, them import it into your images folder and modify your theme to use the
new nonanimated image
PS
The active graphics just selects whether your buttons have 3 states or 2 states and allows you to have an alternate set of images
for the theme
For the default Straight Edge Theme
The Active Graphics banner image is - solid single color
The Normal Graphics banner image is - solid two colors
| I'm sorry to keep banging on a nail that is already in, but that graphic
| comes as an animated gif from Microsoft. Take a look at the Straight Edge
| theme with Active Graphics turned on. You'll see that the Page Banner
| graphic does that animation of the lines at the top and bottom. This theme
| (and graphic worked for three years of publishing with FrontPage). Like I
| said, I did get my site to publish, by turning off Active Graphics (and thus
| not using animated graphics). I definitely appreciate your help there.
