: Content (middle area) Background Change
: mva86 August 29, 2015, 04:46:11 PM
I would like to have the site background show with a white content area like this site using one of your themes (http://www.islandcamps.com/about-us (http://www.islandcamps.com/about-us)).  I set the background to an image, but can not find how to change content area background.  In the example the background is a blue like image and the content area where the text is located is white.

Thanks

The gradient blue shadow is a feature of the Lime Light theme being used on the site you linked to.  You are welcome to use Firebug (http://getfirebug.com/) to inspect the HTML and CSS of that site to see if you can figure out how to add something similar to Design Control, but that is considered custom coding and is not covered by support.

Edit:  I think I figured it out; when I get home I will test it out.

I know that this is custom code, but I would like the middle area to be set to width=1200px.  I've set it using Firefox or Chrome inspect element, but when I re-size the browser window the middle area is not responsive.  It is only responsive when I use percentages, but on a larger screen I don't like how it looks, I like how this site looks, http://www.islandcamps.com.  How would I get it responsive?
This, http://www.islandcamps.com/about-us, site is responsive and the middle area is set to width=1200px, when I inspect the element in Firefox or Chrome.

I recommend getting rid of the following code in custom.css:

:
#s5_center_area2 {
    width: 85% !important;}

The site width can be defined in the theme options, and if you want to set a "max-width", to keep it from being too wide, that's in there too.  Before hard-coding any layout CSS, you should always make sure you check to see if what you want to do is handled by the theme options; especially if it's related to the responsive layout, as there are multiple things that need adjustment to keep the site responsive, and the framework is designed to make sure that is done correctly.

I think that I got the site the way I like.
Thanks for the reply.
