Help with color backgrounds on main page...

104 weeks ago

I've noticed on other Linkshell pages on Guildwork that they have managed to implement a colored background, how is this done as I'm relatively new at setting up pages on this site?

Here a link to the page that has a colored background http://bluegarter.guildwork.com

I'd appreciated any help on this subject.

Thank you :D

IF you use the html widget on the main page and just make it viewable by admin so no one else sees it you can put your css in <style></style> tags then that should do it. I had trouble with this too but I got it working after a little messing around! You can also use pictures too like I did on our page! http://sharktopus.guildwork.com/

Hi Merow

Thank you for your help, i applied the HTML widget like you suggested and tried this code

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body style="background-color:#000000;"></body>

which seemed to also work. > http://thedarktower.guildwork.com

:D

Am I doing this in the wrong place? I added the exact code above to a HTML widget in the page editing setup and got nothing but a square on the page that said 'HTML'

Any help with where I should add this code to change the background color of my webpage?

Thanks

If you already have an HTML widget, you can just add the code to the end of it.

This is what I use–-using black as an example:

<style>
body
{background-color:#000000}
</style>

Not sure if it's intended to be this way, but we currently can change anything, using style tags and CSS.

I've even got the GuildworkBar darkified.

If this is working correctly I'll keep dicking around with it (all I've done so far is make a few eyes bleed), but I don't wanna spend time on it if it's gonna be patched/removed soon >.>

I don't think this high-contrast scheme will last, but I definitely like that I can change the GWbar, and bolden/modify fonts.

I have shitty taste when it comes to visual design, but even I'm excited by the possibirities (*'-')

As long as the element has an id, you can modify it via CSS. You can go further and modify elements within the parent if they don't have id's, but I don't think you can pick and choose (other than first-child,last-child)

This is what I use on http://snd.guildwork.com

<style>
BODY {
background: -moz-linear-gradient(100% 100% 90deg, #fff, #ccc);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#fff), to(#ccc));
background-attachment: fixed;
}
#widget-4ddae639205cb219a8011beb { display:none; }
</style>

I place it within a widget of its own, then the stylesheet will make sure that widget isn't displayed.
