Red Passion TP - Can't change center box background color

Hi. I can't change the background color of the centerbox and right column. My site is https://www.cedardelight.com

After going through the stylesheet.css file, I changed mainwrapper_tile.jpg(light grey box) to mainwrapper_tile_white.jpg(white box), but that attempt only changed the left column. I searched this forum, but I couldn't find the answer.

How can I change them? Thanks alot for your help!

#mainWrapper {

text-align: left;
width: 842px;
vertical-align: top;
background-image: url(../images/mainwrapper_tile_white.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: center;
}

What happens if you get rid of these in your main wrapper?

background-image: url(../images/mainwrapper_tile_white.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: center;

Hi, Kobra. Then it changes back to all grey backgrounds for left, center, and right columns.

Then it changes back to all grey backgrounds for left, center, and right columns.
I checked and it looks all WHITE to me???

Woops.. actually I was wrong. It looks grey in my monitor, but they actually are white backgrounds!

But the grid lines that devide each column are gone. How can I show (vertical) grid lines to seperate each column? Thanks again!

Look for:
#navColumnTwo {transparency;}

Change to:

#navColumnTwo {background-color: #FF0000;}

haredo:

#navColumnTwo {background-color: #FF0000;}
Why RED??

haredo:

#navColumnTwo {background-color: #FF0000;}

Haredo,

when I changed navColumnTwo as you suggested, the background of the right column changed to red color.

What I want are vertical divider lines to separate each column. Thanks.

Well, if I can recover the vertical lines or not, I'd like to thank you for kobra and haredo.

Find these and edit as follows:

#navColumnOne {
	background-color: transparent;
        border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
    }

#navColumnTwo {
	background-color: transparent;
        border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;	
	}

or

.leftBoxContainer {
     border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
	}

.rightBoxContainer {
     border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
	}

Try each and see what you want

Y,
Maybe I did not the post throughly.

The font in red above is why I answered the way I did..

Kobra,
I just love red, my favorite color :smile:

The two modifications both show the border lines for left and right columns. I'll be checking another reply tomorrow morning. Good night, folks!

They are slightly different

Pick one and use it

ychousa:

#mainWrapper {

text-align: left;
width: 842px;
vertical-align: top;
background-image: url(../images/mainwrapper_tile_white.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: center;
}

I've finally found the solution that I exactly wanted and want to share with other users. The secret was in the mainwrapper_tile_white.jpg image file.

If you zoom in the long and thin image, you can find 4 spots with white color (left-end, center1, center2, and right-end) that work as white divider lines when the background is in default light grey. Using firefox, I changed colors so that now the background is white and the 4 spots are grey, then I get exactly what I wanted!

Thanks for all your help, kobra and haredo! I guess I will be asking more and more quesitons 'cause I'm in the middle of development process. Thanks again!
