Here is a screenshot of an old Dreamweaver html site that I want/need to recreate.



Is it possible to change the background colour outside my pages. I tried 'Body Background' under theme options but that changes my pages as well.

Hi

Are you planning to use the buildr theme and the Xero file?

To be truthful, I wouldn't know how to do that!

I have only used the Xero quick start package as I am comfortable with that, here's a link to where I have got to so far:

www.groupstestbed.co.uk/index.php/my-first-article

What I need to get change the colour outside left and right without changing the article background, if possible. Unless of course you tell me something different?

Thanks.

Try adding

.mainwrap.zen-spotlight, #footerwrap .zen-spotlight {background:#fff}

Cheers
Paul

Oh thank you Paul, I am so close! I'm attaching my custom.css because I have obviously done something and don't know what!

On the outside of my article/page, I have no border and my text is right on the edge.

Also is there a way of changing the colour of the border around my modules in the sidebars? they are set to 'border primary1'?

Cheers

Right for that you would want to add some padding

You could do these several ways

Looking at www.groupstestbed.co.uk/index.php/my-first-article

#footerwrap ul {padding: 1em;} or
#sidebar-1 p {padding:0 1em}

Is the border all round the site? - where should it be?

Cheers
Paul

Regarding primary you could change the primary coour globally in the template settings

or you could target it using css

Forgot to add the the file!




Sorry about that.

The attachment hasn't made the journey

Was the suggestions for padding useful?

Cheers
Paul

second attempt:





Browsed but didn't insert sorry.

Just seen what you are saying about adding, but before I do, would you be kind enough to give this the once over before I make any more changes to the custom?

Many Thanks.

Wrong bloody format!




Got it now!

Was the suggestions for padding useful?

I have put them both into the Custom.css and it has made no difference.

Hi

I can see padding applying on the sidebar p and the #footerwrap ul

For looking at css I'd always try viewing in the browser and view / test using the chrome web developer toolset
