The stylevar that controls the background color of that element is named "sidebar_background" but that stylevar controls more than just that element.

If you wish to change the color of just that element, one way to do that is to open the template named "userprofile.css" and locate the selector that reads:

#sidebar_container.member_summary
{
color: {vb:raw moduleinactive_text_color};
background-color: {vb:raw moduleinactive_background_color};
background-image: {vb:raw moduleinactive_background_image};
background-repeat: {vb:raw moduleinactive_background_repeat};
border-color: {vb:raw moduleinactive_border};
}

And change the "background-color" attribute to your liking.

Thanks Mark -

Now to find the Profile Tab colors as the background went to #FFF

Did you change the stylevar or edit the CSS template?

Did you change the stylevar or edit the CSS template?

for the sidebar - I changed the CSS as you mentioned, but I dont see the color code at all on the stylevar

[MarkFL]

If you edited the CSS template, then that should only affect the sidebar on the profile. That's what happened on my dev site.

thats what happened on my site as well - i need to tackle Profile background colors (maybe text also)

edit - I highlighted the text as it was white on white :rolleyes:

[MarkFL]

Just to be clear, your tabs were fine until you edited the CSS template?

[scottkoz20]

WELL - i fixed it!

The issue was on the profile - I have a SAVE and SAVE AS DEFAULT

I was killing my own color settings that I wanted set as the default when I thought I was saving one thing, I would "break" something else. Once I updated one at a time, then all was fine.

Thanks for pointing in the right direction Mark
