StyleVars: Am I doing something wrong?

[Sarteck]

Let me re-state my problem, following the video you link here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/conte...deo-version%29


M'kay, I'm looking for how to change the background of the sidebar on the User Profile Page.

I load up the page, load FireBug, and find the HTML Element in question.

<div id="sidebar_container" class="profile_widgets member_summary userprof_moduleinactive userprof_moduleinactive_border sidebarleft">

Looking at the CSS, I see it gets it background-color property (#1F1F1F) from:

#sidebar_container.member_summary {
    -moz-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    -moz-box-shadow: -2px 2px 2px #C8C8C8;
    background-color: #F1F1F1;
    border: 1px solid #C1C1C1;
    clear: right;
    display: inline-block;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    padding: 0;
    width: 240px;
}

I go to my AdminCP, Search in Templates for "member_summary", and the most logical one seems to be userprofile.css.

I find where it gets the background property...

#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};
}

Now, I'm sitting here scratching my head wondering 2 things: WTH happened to StyleVars (seems we're using the raw output from some other variable), and how the heck do I change this moduleinactive_background_color variable (except by hunting IT down and using a plugin, which would make no sense)?







Also, I don't understand why the profile_sidebar_background and other profile_sidebar variables have no effect. Except for the avatar maxwidth (which doesn't change anything for the avatar itself, but instead for all other images in the sidebar) and maybe some that I didn't get to toying around with. It just makes no sense to me.
