XF 1.2 Updating a couple of areas on theme...need help isolating them.

[kbarg]

I am trying to add a new background color to notices, and it just seems to have added a box around it. But the internal background behind the text is still the same color.

The backgrounds for all the sidebar stuff.

the nodeTitle class.

If someone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

I have the feeling you're not aware of the Style/CSS Properties XenForo provides.
Trying to add a new color which results in a new box being added has no use.

Whats up , welcome to the spot.

Since you have said you tried already I assume you know at the least some basic css. If I assumed wrong please correct me and I will explain in greater detail.

Go to your Admin Control Panel and go to appearance -> templates -> edit template -> EXTRA.css

(I will just make an example of background none, change as you see fit.)

Paste this in and modify as you see fit

/*notices background is controlled by this */

#Notices.PanelScroller .panel, #Notices.PanelScrollerOff .panel {
background:  none;
}


/*sidebar containers*/

.sidebar .secondaryContent {
background: none;
}


/*The container for the node title*/

.nodeList .node .nodeText .nodeTitle {

}


/*The node title itself*/

.nodeList .node .nodeText .nodeTitle a {

}
