Advanced Styles & CSS help

[Zee Oddball]

I have a couple things I just can't seem to figure out. First off is this little border that is appearing around the private messages. I know there is the option somewhere in the Visual Editor to turn it off but I can't find it for some reason.




The other thing is, I'm using a code in the style sheet to turn a lot of things transparent. But I don't know how to get it to work with the Navigation Tree Container. Currently I can only get it to work on the News using
.nav > {background-color: fade(@container_background_color_1,15%); }if I set the background for the Navigation Tree Container to transparent(if I change it to white, it turns both the navigation tree & news solid white).

Anybody...? I would be happy just knowing the first one even.

Find this line in your CSS:

.messages .item > td { border-width: 0px 1px 1px 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: @container_inner_border_color; }
change it to this:

.messages .item > td { border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: @container_inner_border_color; }

For the second one, I don't know exactly what you're trying to do (that CSS is really, really invalid), but try this maybe:

#nav-tree { background-color: fade(@container_background_color_1, 15%); }

Thank you very much, the first change worked perfectly.

I found that last bit of CSS on another board on here honestly. What I was trying to do is make the background area for the News & Navigation bar, and the navigation bar's drop down list, have a semi-transparent background. Like the categories on my board (http://acciosydney.boards.net/). #nav-tree does work but I can't figure out what to use for News or the Navigation's drop down list. I thought at least #news, or one of the others under the news bar's code, would work for the news bar but no such luck.

Right click the elements you're interested in, select 'Inspect Element', use the tools here to figure out the CSS selectors you need.

Oh awesome, I didn't know about that! Thanks for the help.
