    help question Color of Columns? changing?

    If I want the entire left column on all page to be a solid color, how would I change that?

    I thought it was the /template_default/common/tpl_mainpage.php.

    I made the change on the left side table but nothing happened.

    Thanks for any help!

    No, that would be in your stylesheet. In includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css, look for

    Code:
    .sideBoxContent {
    	background-color: #ffffff;
    	padding: 0.4em;
    	}
    and change the background-color to what you want.

    The previous reply will get you to change the background of the side boxes. If I understand your querry, you want to change the whole column to another color. You might find in you CSS file

    #navColumnOne {

    }

    Inset in there the following: background:#CCCCCC Make sure you enter your own colour code here.

    Thanks

    Actually, it may require both changes depending on what the desired effect is.

    This is the one that I was looking for. It works, but it changes both the left and the right column to the color i changed it to.
    (Which, doesnt seem right)

    Is it possilbe to change just one side?

    Thanks for you help!

    I was just going to ask if your style sheet looked like this

    Code:
    #navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo {
    	background-color: #990000;
    	}
    and if it did, I was going to suggest you change it to:

    Code:
    #navColumnOne {
    	background-color: #000000;
    #navColumnTwo {
    	background-color: #ffffff;
    	}
    You got there before me.
