Change background coulor

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hello!
This is Sweden Calling :)

Here is another question from us.

Is it possible to change background coulor in the grids.
Like Below where the news is? And sidebar 2 and so on?

Hi :)

If you mean the "below" position then it would require custom css to be added

The same with the sidebar2

Other positions may be different but it depends on what row you are looking to style e.g. Bottom Row Style could have a row style for example

Hi again!

..require custom css to be added...seems complicated to me.
We use blank as a theme, can i modify theme.blank.css?
Would that work?

Thank you for providing such excellent service!

With Ascent2

It has the image on the sidebar so it complicates any styling change to the sidebar only

You could add a style to the custom.css file that targets both the main and sidebar?

This is the current style

#middlewrap .zen-spotlight {
background-color: #FAFAFA;
}

So you would add something like

#middlewrap .zen-spotlight {
background-color: #fff;
}

to the custom.css file

If you add to the theme itself you will lose the change after it is compiled so you would either use a custom less or custom css file

To use a custom.css file

Custom css is new css code you add to your site
its either - new css code or css code to overide an existing template styling

The file it needs to be added to is called custom_rename_to_custom.css or if renamed custom.css (for the file to work it needs to be called custom.css) - this file is protected from being overwritten by template updates

The path to the file is
\templates\template name\css\custom_rename_to_custom.css

via the joomla backend the path is

extensions tab > template manager > Templates (top left in Joomla 3) > "template name" details and files > Edit css/custom_rename_to_custom.css

and paste in the style with #fff
