I'm using the regular DNN blue skin on my site, but am using different containers (from downloaded skins) for the modules. I'm using the vertical menu on the blue skin, but would like to change the font size of 'Site Navigation', and/or get rid of the blue image background, so it looks a little more compatible with the containers.

I'd like to continue using the blue skin. Can someone tell me how to make the above change?

Thanks,

Gary

I am new to this but have found a section at the bottom of the style settings on  the portal details page that seems to allow some manipulation of the Menu appearance

You can do it by using the Stylesheet Editor in Admin --> Site Settings.  'Site Navigation' by default uses the "Head" class, so that's what you'd want to edit for that.

For the background, you might find it easier to change to a different container especially if you are using the same container elsewhere on the site but don't want to change the background there.  Here are the CSS defaults for the blue container:

/*
================================
 Container Styles for DotNetNuke
================================
*/  

.containermaster_blue {
 width: 100%;
 background-color: #dfe5f2;
 border-right: #7994cb 1px solid;
 border-top: #7994cb 1px solid;
 border-left: #7994cb 1px solid;
 border-bottom: #7994cb 1px solid;
 moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 15px;
 moz-border-radius-bottomright: 15px;
 moz-border-radius-topleft: 3px;
 moz-border-radius-topright: 3px;
}
.containerrow1_blue {
 background-image: url(gradient_LtBlue.jpg);
}
.containerrow2_blue {
 background-color: #ffffff;
}

You can also adjust the CSS just for the menu control itself.  By default it is transparent.  You can do different backgrounds for different areas in the menu, here's the default for the menu container:

.MainMenu_MenuContainer {
 background-color: transparent;
}

Thanks for the advice,

I'm not sure that the thing that looks like a container when you use the vertical menu setup ('Site Navigation' menu) is affected by any of this. I gather it's not really a container - I can't seem to change the background this at all - I can change the font attributes with the Admin Site Settings Stylesheet, but the background and menu 'container' (which isn't really a container) doesn't change. If I change the .MainMenu_MenuContainer background color, it affects the admin menu (which is horizontal at the top on the Admin pages), but it doesn't affect the background of the portal vertical menu items (which you only see when not in the Admin pages).

The portal I'm trying to do it on is a child portal - I've tried changing various CSS attributes of the Portals/Default/default.css, the Portals/Default/portal.css the .css files on the child portal...nothing seems to make any change. I actually like to do it so that it affects the parent and all child modules.

It's all very confusing as to which CSS page affects what - is there any documentation of this hierarchy (and I have downloaded the documents but can't find anything specifically on CSS hierarchy)?

Indeed, the .MainMenu_MenuContainer in the style sheet, and the containers modules are embedded in, are two different animals.  And if you change the container settings in Site Admin, it doesn't change the menu.

I'm sorry, I gave you the wrong information for the background color.  For the vertical menu it is .TreeViewMenu.
