A theme color

[Fern]

In my theme, at (www.feles.boards.net), there is a green background that you can see behind all of the content/content boxes. Where do I find the code to change that green color in my advanced style sheet? 

[Beckea]

That is the background color --

In your THEMES in your ADMIN CP - go to ADV. Styles/CSS > Visual Editor > Forums > Background > background-color.

If you want the image to cover the whole page I could help you with that but you would have to use the style sheet for that. But if not that is how you change the background color.

Oh my gosh thank you for all the help!!! I do kinda want the background color, I think it splits everything up, but this is great and should work, thank you!!!

Hey @beckea, that didn't work, it didn't change the color of it. The background color for the forum doesn't even match what that color is, and when I change it, that green  color doesn't change.

Morning Frostkit ^^

Being that your background is an image, I assume this solid green color you're referring to is the Wrapper currently set. You can go into the Admin Panel -> Themes -> Advanced Styles & CSS, switch to the Style Sheet tab, and then ctrl+f for '#wrapper'. Try changing that one's color and see if it's the one you're wanting to adjust.

Hope this helps! Cheers.

All I could find when I searched was my wrapper width, which is set at 1,000. Thank you for helping though.

any other ideas? My next question is also going to be how to set it to be 1,100, the width of the forum.

Fern ,

1. FYI your forum URL is just "feles.boards.net". There is no "www". Not all webpages start with www and none of our forums do.

2. The green color you are trying to change is defined by a CSS entry. Go to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS, Style Sheet. Make sure the correct theme is selected. Roughly around line 1565 you will see this code:
#tightwrapper { background-color: #CED9D4; width: 1050px; margin: auto;}Change the background color here to the color you want. Make sure to click the save changes button.


3. Looks like you were able to set the forum width to 1100px, so guessing you're good on this?

Hmmm, a quick look and I found something with the ID '#tightwrapper' . Try looking for that instead, it could be that whoever designed the theme didn't use standard naming.

Alternatively, look for the color #CED9D4 in a spot that seems like it'd be a background/wrapper; as that's the solid color block behind all your boards.


To change the width of that wrapper they put in you'll have to find it first. Normally it's a Custom Style put at the bottom of the Style Sheet. I don't know what all they've done so it could be done with set widths, or it could just be margins or padding. You'll have to play around with it or post the codes for us to look through here. Just the custom styles though, as the entire Style Sheet is rather massive.


Edit: Ah! Scott got there first I type slow

[Fern]

Yes!! Thank you to both of you, finally got it!! Yay awesome!

Hey @beckea, that didn't work, it didn't change the color of it. The background color for the forum doesn't even match what that color is, and when I change it, that green color doesn't change.

That could be why your color is not changing, it is an image. But I cannot see it but it seems it is fixed.
