FAQ: How to change color on print/mail-to-friend

Post by **ot2sen** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 7:15 pm

Often people face the problem of having a colored background on the pop-up Print and Mail to friend, when they installed a template with a colored background.

Q: How do I change this background to white ?

A: Open the template_css.css in the /templates/css folder for that template, and add the following:

Code: Select all

body.contentpane {
background: #FFF;
}

Ever wonder how to customize the background, text colors and other properties of the Print and Email Popups? Here's how. The HTML generated for the print and email popups assigns the contentpane class to the statement, i.e., .

So, define a class in your template_css.css file that looks like this:

/* for Joomla! Versions 1.0.x - print and email popups */
body.contentpane
{
background-color: #your_background_color;
background-image: url(your_background_image_url); /* optional, default is no background image */
background-attachment: fixed; /* optional, default is scroll; */
color: #your_text_color;
/* optional...insert any additional properties starting here */
}

No, think its because contentpane is never used directly within a ... in frontend...its always buried in a

, , etc. But, this really should be changed to a different unique class in index2.php and offline.php to make sure no side effects arise in later releases...

If you need a helping hand, use the one at the end of your own arm.

for me this did not work:

.contentpane { background-color:#FFF;}

this did work:
.contentpane {background:#FFF;} /* I presume this overules the previous body{background-image:url(image.jpg);} */
