Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have a probably simple question.
I have DNN 5.5.1.
I applied the default MinimalExtropy Skin which I'm very happy with. However I would like to have the body color to be just white, not white to blue at the button. Can someone tell me please how to achieve that? I'm a newbie and while I tried to look for a solution on Google I could not find an answer. Thank you!

Hi

The gradient is added as part fo the skin.css to the #Body id like so:

#Body{
background:#FFF url(images/body_bg.png) repeat-x top left;
}

You've got 2 options for changing this:

1. Go into the Minimal Extropy skin.css file and remove the background image, or

2. Go to Admin>SiteSettings at the bottom of this you'll find the Stylesheet Editor which updated the portal.css file. Add the following to here:

#Body{
background-image:none;
}

Update the Stylesheet editor and your new CSS will get added to the portal.css file, overriding the skin.css setting, removing the background gradient.

Hope this helps,

Rick.

Hi Rick,

thank you for the answer - much appreciated.

I went to the Admin and added the Body line but after I pressed update nothing happened. The blue stuff is still there at the buttom.

Then I went into the FIle system and found the skin.css file and added

@import url("css/menu.css");

/* CSS Document */
/* #Body {background:#FFF url(images/body_bg.png) repeat-x top left; height:100%; margin:0; padding:0; } */
#Body{background-image:none; }


after I uploaded the file nohing changed either. Do I have to do something like a Skin Reboot or something?
I host on GoDaddy.com

Thank you.

So that we talk about the same thing, here is the website:

http://www.pubforum.info/pubforum/Home.aspx

and as you can see at the button the blue just messes up everything.

I changed the style.css in

/Portals/_default/Skins/MinimalExtropy

Thanks a lot

Apologies,

What I described was how to remove the blue gradient that starts at the top of the page background, if you remove the code you've added it should come back, and you'll be able to see what the change was.

Regarding the blue gradient within the content area, this has been achieved using a collection of images, and to remove the colour you'll need to re-create the images, in a program such as photoshop, without the gradient.

I also wanted to mention if you're using Firefox, there's a great tool called Firebug (www.getfirebug.com) which lets you selects elements of a web page from within your browser window and look at the code and style associated to it. IE have the Developer Toolbar which is another option.

Regards,

Rick.
