Remove gray line and reduce padding in module

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

I admit to being a total novice at Joomla. I'm working in the zenbase template. I have been trying for many hours to adjust this but can't figure it out:
Can I remove the thin gray line at the bottom of my modules and if so, how? I also would like to reduce the amount of padding here. Can I? If so, how?
Thanks!!!

Are you familiar with how to use a custom css file?

Can I also check you have the plugin called JB Type installed and enabled?

It controls the icon for the mobile menu

No. I've been reading about it a bit but not sure what to do. I can't find where that is. :whistle:

You're welcome

For this particular template > With the custom css -

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 - when renamed its called 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

Custom box?

Did you follow these steps to rename the file first?

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

The file the css needs to be added to is called -

custom_rename_to_custom.css - when renamed its called 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

By the way the reason there is a difference in some of the image alignments on the home page - the images dropping are inside h3 tags rather than p tags
