    Working on the Executive Pro theme, my client has requesting diving lines between her home page featured widget areas, similar to this site: http://weareonyx.com/ (see "How it Works", and "Our latest products".)

    Does anyone have a link to a tutorial to recreate this?

    Susan, I'm going to email you since the forum refuses to let me respond for some reason.

    And of course once I say that, it goes through. Must be something in my response. Let me try again:

    They are using HTML like this:

    <h3 class="cross-border"><span>how it works</span></h3>

    Then they have the following in the stylesheet:

    h3.cross-border {
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 21px;
    color: #000;
    background: url(images/bkg_product-collateral.gif) 0 50% repeat-x;
    padding: 0 0 1px;
    margin: 0 0 15px;
    font-family: timesitalic;
    text-transform: lowercase;
    text-align: center;
    }
    
    h3.cross-border span {
    display: inline-block;
    background: #fff;
    padding: 0 15px;
    }

    I think the easiest way to do it would be to add some full width widget areas before each section - maybe home top welcome, home middle welcome, etc. and stick a text widget in it.
