Hi guys, I'm wondering if I can change the background color of the profile areas next to posts - i.e. this bit:



I guessed it would be done in Display.template.php so I've attached that.

My site is economicate.org , and my theme is an altered version of Headline (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1294).

Edit: in fact, could someone perhaps describe a similar method for the signature area?

For changing the posts profile info, avatar info, and icons commonly called the postbit in Display.template.php

                            <b>', $message['member']['link'], '</b><br />
                            <span class="smalltext">';
                            <b>', $message['member']['link'], '</b><br />
                            <div class="postbit">';

Than in style.css
.postbit {
color: #000;
background-color: #ffffff;
font-size: x-small;
{
...And customize away


You can set the signature background as well in your theme's style.css

.signature
{
clear: right;
padding: 1em 0 3px 0;
border-top: solid 1px #E6E6E6;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
line-height: 1.3em;
}
To something like

.signature
{
clear: right;
   background-color: #FFF;
padding: 1em 0 3px 0;
border-top: solid 1px #E6E6E6;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
line-height: 1.3em;
}

Thanks for all the help shadow, this one and in the other threads too. I'll be sure to let you know if my site does well :)

Still got some customising to do here I think, will probably take a while for me to get it looking good - but you've given me the ability to do it so thanks for that!

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. :)

Cheers
