Hi, how can I edit my logo so that the background of it fits the gradient/background of Ablecommerce theme headers? I need to integrate the logo into the store theme (mine is glass aqua). I use Fireworks 8

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but this might point you to a way. On the sites that I have done, I have uploaded a transparent gif for the logo with a decent size to it so that if someone clicks the left of the top navigation, they go to the home page as they expect. Then I have put the header and logo into an image for the background of the store header, sometimes with an image map. Like:
#storeHeader {
width:100%;background:url(images/header6.gif) top left no-repeat; border: 0px;
height:129px; margin:0 0 0 0;padding: 0 0 0 0;}

are some I have done with that process.

A gif would not work smoothly for my application. I actually did a printscreen and cropped a section of the header and edited it in photoshop with the logo then saved as a jpg:

Try the PNG format with transparent background hopefully it will work.
You can create either a PNG 8 or PNG 24 image. The PNG 24 may be problematic with IE6 but will work fine for others
