What stylevar would I have to edit to give it the "normal" background color for this style?

Edit: I found it. Wasn't a stylevar. Went into posthistory.css and changed:

#postlist li {
    background:rgb(250,250,255) url({vb:stylevar imgdir_gradients}/form-control-gradient-alpha.png) repeat-x bottom;
    border-bottom:solid 1px rgb(203,209,251);
}

to

#postlist li {
    background:rgb(250,250,255) url(images/Styles/Blackend/gradients/body_bg.png) repeat-x bottom;
    border-bottom:solid 1px rgb(203,209,251);
}

Thanks, I will include this in the next update.

I have no idea actually, I don't have any of those mods installed or plan on using them. Provide a link to your site and I may be able to help.

Just a minor question and this very well could be my ignorance, but when I imported this style and used the default style for the parent style, this style didn't seem to take on any of the modded templates i had in the parent style.

My shoutbox icons are gone, i had a tabs mod where i had to replace each of the templates one at a time to get that back, etc....

Is this an issue with 4.0.6 possibly or did I import it incorrectly somehow?

Sometimes when that happens I do this:

ACP - Maintenance - Rebuild Styles - Check "Renumber Styles" - Rebuild Styles.

Also make sure you uploaded the style to the correct directory.

Don't have "rebuild styles" under Maintenance.

I have:

Repair/Optimize Tables
Update Counters
Diagnostics
Execute SQL Query
View PHP Info

I tried "Repair/Optimize Tables", but under that I don't have "Renumber Styles".

Sorry I meant "Update Counters".

How about "Renumber all templates from 1 "?

I need more coffee today!

Fungsten, I really appreciate the help. Unfortunately this didn't make any difference.

Seeing as myself and one other guy both have the tabs mod and our problem is the same, I'm fairly confident this has something to do with the combination of this style and that mod. I'll just have to look it over until something jumps out at me.

I appreciate the pointers all the same. Let me know if you think of anything else.

OK, i figured out the issue with the mgc_chatbox mod not displaying the images in the chatbox itself. I didn't read carefully enough in regards to the part of you having to copy the images folder over to the styles folder for EACH style you use. Derrrrrr....... So I got that squared away.

I'm still left with this:



It's almost like padding somewhere in between the forum categories, but no idea where to look in the templates to be able to at least change the background color. Could I possibly change the background color of the forums to match and solve this problem? (hopefully just answered my own question.....)

update

Just tried looking through the Stylevars, but I don't see anything at first.

Also, when I inspect the page source for that area that I have circled, it is include in the <div class="yui-dispatchable"> selection.

You really cannot use another style as a parent style. You are trying to overwrite what templates have been done to the Blackend style by your "parent" style. You basically have to edit each template that needs it per style you use, only way your going to get a consistent outcome.
