Background image on Redux sidebar?

[Danie]

Link

I'm using the Redux side tables and have two questions on it.

1) How do I get the different boxes to have a gap between them?

2) I'd like to put a background image only on the content part of the boxes. Is that possible?

Thankyou!

Is the calendar in the welcome container? I ask because title background for the welcome  is carrying down to your calendar making it appear there is no gap. If they are separate containers, check your welcome container to make sure you closed your tags, if you used any.

For the background, whatever id you added to your container, for example, you have "welcome" as the id for the welcome container so you'd add this to the bottom of your style sheet:


#welcome .content{background-image:url("http://yourbackgroundimage.png");
}

Do that for each of them if you want a different background for each one. If you want the same background in all of them then just do:

#welcome .content, #calendar .content{background-image:url("http://yourbackgroundimage.png");

}

I'm not using a style sheet. I just installed the plugin.

It doesn't matter if you just installed it or not. My question is still valid regarding whether you put the calendar in it's own separate container or not.
 Using the style sheet to target each side bar container would work the best but you could just simply add a div in your container:
Like:

<div style="width:200px;background-image:url(http://linktoimage.png);">
content here
</div>

or you can just use the id (where I have the bold)you used for each container and then add the style right at the top of your content box:


<style>
#thestats{background-image:url(http://linktoimage.png);
}
</style>

Try changing the id of the welcome table because the welcome and login on the right side of your forum has that same id. 

Like change it to "welcome_side_bar" and the same if you put and an id back into the calendar one change it to "calendar_side_bar" or something like that. Just so it is different than the id's that already exist by default.

I had my fingers crossed that was it.   By the way, your site is adorable, love the banner/theme colors.
