Thanks Dave.

I was looking under the theme directory but couldn't find the image for the color of top strip that comes on the login page, above the sentence "Welcome to Roller"

Is it defined in color.css or is their a seperate .gif file for that ?

You can safely ignore that one in the examples directory.
