Hi

On this page http://bluestour2016.firstbitedigital.com/index.php is it possible to put a shade or solid colour behind the menu, but on top of the slider images?
The problem is that with some images, the menu text is difficult to read, but if I could put a 50% black screen or even a solid colour as the menu background, it would be much easier to read.

I've looked through the parameters and also been through the CSS, but can't find just where to make the changes.

Please advise what I need to do.

Regards, David

Hello,

You would have to create a transparent png file and then add the following to custom.css:

#s5_menu_wrap_top {
background:url(../images/background.png) !important;
}

Hi

I've tried that and it didn't work.

Would you like me to PM the admin access details so you can have a look?

Hello,

That css will work, I've tested it in firebug. Make sure you put the image into the template's "images" folder, not the site's "images" folder. We don't provide customization services as part of our support, this is something that you would need to modify.

Sorry, I had put the file in the wrong folder.

Many thanks, all working perfectly now.

Great support, as usual  Smiley
