Hi Martie,

Please make sure that you change the background color in this file:

www.qsecconstruction.co.za/templates/grid3/css/themes/blues/template.css.

html > body {
background-color: #f9f9f9;
color: #555;
}

1. You can edit file and change the background color here:

www.qsecconstruction.co.za/templates/grid3/css/themes/blues/template.css
#overlaytrim {
  background: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 8;
  height: 6px;
  width: 100%;
  top: 304px;
}

2. In the same file you can remove the background property:
.sidebar .moduletable {
background: url(../../../images/horbevel.png) repeat-x left bottom;
border: 0;
padding: 10px;
margin-bottom: 30px;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}

3. In this file: www.qsecconstruction.co.za/templates/grid3/css/themes/blues/template.css

You can find these lines, remove the !important mark
#grid1, #banner, #midCol {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
background: #fafafa !important;
}

Then right below those lines above you can add
#midCol {
   background: #ccc; /*change #CCC to your desired color*/
}

4. That line is controlled by CSS in this file www.qsecconstruction.co.za/templates/grid3/css/themes/blues/template.css

h2, .moduletable h3, body h1 {
letter-spacing: 0.03em;
background: url(../../../images/horbevel.png) repeat-x left bottom;
border: 0;
}

You can remove the background property.

Thats the border style selected in the module settings

Try changing the border settings - or if you wanted to keep a border then the css would need to be changed to alter the style displayed

Cheers
