Another request by many users is to remove the Media Field border. That might be the easiest and fastest alteration of a theme.

The Media Field border is simply a collection of several little picture files. Go to our test themePack file you downloaded in part one of this tutorial. Then open the Resources folder of the Starfield Casual Bundle, scroll down and you’ll find all those .tif files starting with PictureFrame. Above the files I created a folder called Pics. Do the same in your own themePack file(s). That folder is just for storage.
To remove the Media Field border just drag all those PictureFrame files into your new Pics folder. If you don’t like the result, you can always move them back out into the open.

Voila, you have a free-floating-looking Media Field! Don’t be alarmed: some themes still display a border as long as the Media Field is empty, but as soon as you add a media file the border disappears.
Off course, you can also add your own border instead, by creating your own PictureFrame pics.

Note: I’ll be traveling the world the next three weeks, so my posts will slow down. Whenever I have a chance to log on, I’ll still check for comments.
