How change the background colour?

How do I change the background colour - I am refering to the light blue/grey right, left and bottom 'border' colour?

Re: How change the background colour?

Colors, fonts and many other layout details are controlled in /includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet.css.

Find the "#body {" section and change "background-color: #xxxxxx;" to whatever you want.

Re: How change the background colour?

Still can't find the bgcolor for the left & right 'margins' and the bottom. Probably should have my eyes checked. Or the organ that processes the input from them:)

Re: How change the background colour?

Did you alter this code?? (highlighted in red) as this controls that setting as posted.

body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5%;
	color: #F5F5D6;
	background-color: #e5edf5;
	}

POST YOUR URL IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING TROUBLE

Re: How change the background colour?

How do you know which style you are using? I'm using whatever is used if you don't have a custom template. Is it template_default or classic? the shop is at:

http://www.portlandwinegear.com/shop

Also how do you delete on line from the Information module in the lower left corner. Can you just take out say the discount coupons or the unsubscribe to newsletter?

Re: How change the background colour?

In Your admin > tools > template selection what you are using as a template is listed. You are using the classic.

Also how do you delete on line from the Information module in the lower left corner. Can you just take out say the discount coupons or the unsubscribe to newsletter?
Also in your admin > configuration > define page status > the discount coupon and others are there>

newsletter requires that you try editing your /includes/languages/english.php file and find the code at about line#138-140

define('BOX_INFORMATION_UNSUBSCRIBE', 'Newsletter Unsubscribe'); 

and edit to read(leaving the single quotes)

define('BOX_INFORMATION_UNSUBSCRIBE', ''); 

save it and upload to your override folder that you need to create after you have setup one in your includes/templates/your_ folder

Creating your own template & folder based upon the template default file set is something that you should do over using the classic.(serarch here for reasons why). If you like the classic look there are templates for 1.3.x in the download section that look as the classic does or the future_zen template for a different look.

Thank you.

Re: How change the background colour?

Also Where do you delete the lines for:

Gift Certificates and Discount Coupons? How come they are not next to the newsletter line of code?

Thanks

Re: How change the background colour?

Thanks, I did turn off the define discount coupon, but it still shows up. What can I do to delete it from the list?

Re: How change the background colour?

:oops:

That did not remove it as you noticed...

So, in admin > modules > order totals > select Gift Certificates and remove.

That should get it gone.
