Colors help
 

Hi-

I've been attempting to 'tweak' my forum little by little. Since I am a n00b to VB software I really don't want to do too much at once and bust too many things at once :D

Anyhow, I come to you guys for help. I editted the panel_surround gradient and successfully implemented it, as can be viewed in the screenshots. But for certain things- like posting a new thread, for example, it doesn't seem to extend all the way down.. I took some screenshots to better explain.

how do I fix this to take away the 'leftover blue' and replace it with a matching orange. Is it another gradient that I overlooked, or something a hex color or something? Thanks.

The background CSS for the bit you have changed should look something like this, I'm guessing:

Well something like that, you need to change the hex colour code (bit in bold) at the start and choose a colour which matches the bottom of your gradient.

Oh ok, I was guessing it was something like that. Thank you. Now, another beginners question.. what css exactly and where do I go to find it? LOL

AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Main CSS > Panel Surround > Background

Thank you so much. Really appreciate you being patient enough to explain the basics to me.

is this it? That doesn't look right for some reason.

Is #D1D4E0 the yellow colour that matches the bottom of your gradient? If so then that is fine.

If not then you need to change the hex code to a colour that matches the bottom of your gradient.

P.S. the colour probably won't appear in the box as the gradient will override the colour as the gradient image is big enough to fill the box.

To be honest the best advice is to just test and see. ;)
