Hi, I've been looking through all the tutorials for a while and reading through topics to make sure it hasn't been addressed.....I can't figure out how to change the sidebar color background with this theme. Leaving all other backgrounds white.
Any suggestions?
I guess this is a toughy..?
You can change the side bar color in several ways. When you add color though to the side bars yo have to fiddle with the spacing so it looks centered. I think instead I'd just change the color behind the headers.
To fiddle with this in the custom.css file add these two things, then upload to your site - then you will see what I mean. I think the easiest would be to just use the second line.
/* background changed both side columns - width was 220 changed to 180 so three columns */
.custom #sidebar { background: #336699; width: 210px; padding: 0 0 0 15px; float: left; }
/* when the url background is removed the background color changes the widget headline background */
li.widget h2, li.linkcat h2 { background: #4444cc; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.077em; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0 0 0.8em 0; padding: 0.4em 2px; border-top: 3px solid #000; /*background: url('images/hr_dot_black.gif') 0 100% repeat-x;*/ }
I've been fooling around with background colors of things on a test site I set up - boy Cutland is so flexible - I really like it.
http://sdcue.org/hthitest - you can click the theme switcher option to see the three Cutlands - the changes were made in the custom file for each.
Hope this helps a little.
