Changing background color of profile area next to posts

[jamescormack]

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.

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

Koodi (Find) [Valitse] Laajenna

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

Koodi (Make it) [Valitse] Laajenna

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

Than in style.css

Koodi (Add) [Valitse] Laajenna

.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

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna


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

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna


.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!
