Alternate background in posts

[dumbelljunkie]

I would like the posts split in 2 backgrounds; one for the post itself and the other for the user information. 

What is the best way to achieve that ? Is a post already in 2 parts with the same color or do you have to manually split it in 2 ?

Thnx

The post is split into two sections. In Display.template.php, find this:

Code Select Expand

<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;">

Add the color as a background color to that table. Such as

Code Select Expand

<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;" bgcolor=#FFFFFF>

Awe thnx

Is there no way to set the BG in styles.css ?

[Gurnk]

You can make a class in the style sheet, but you will just have to write class="white_table" again in the table HTML, so this way saves time and space.

Display.template .... find and replace

Code Select Expand

// Show information about the poster of this message.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;">
<b>', $message['member']['link'], '</b>
<div class="smalltext">';
for this

Code Select Expand

// Show information about the poster of this message.
echo '<div class=alt>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;">
<b>', $message['member']['link'], '</b>
<div class="smalltext"></div>';
