Why do navigator arrows disappear with CSS color changes?

I'm pretty new to CSS, so I'm hoping my question has an easy solution. I changed the CSS of the Matrix theme (in a "local" folder per the readmes) to make some backgrounds either black or transparent. This is pretty much the extent of my alterations, yet when I did this the arrows in the navigator disappeared. What's the explanation/solution?

My gallery is http://www.brackishwater.net/gallery2 . Work in progress. Thanks in advance!

Also, the EXIF data is not being pulled on each photo page, despite enabling that data in the Themes admin page. I know the EXIF is there because I can see it in my FireFox plugin. I'm stumped--it's there, the module is enabled, what else could I do to fix it?

Please post about your EXIF problem in the G2 Support forum.

As for the arrows, I'm no CSS expert, but it appears that images called from CSS files have to be relative to the CSS file. So you can either copy (or move) the images directory in your theme's directory or edit the CSS file to refer to ../images/ instead of images/

You, sir, are absolutely correct about the links being relative. Problem solved; many thanks! I'll post the EXIF problem in the appropriate forum....
