simple style issue....
 

Well more a c*** up on my part than an issue.
After making a number of changes to the main css i seem to have made the background colour on sticky/non sticky posts the same (see att).

Before i go and make it worse could someone point me in the right direction PLEASE

By default that is the way that it works. If you want it any other way then this will require a modification (I think there is one released that does that)

ahhhh many thanks, i looked back and thought i had lost it.... huess i never had it in the first place :)
