In Methys I have managed to find most places to change the colours I need – but just cannot find how to change the background colour of the right column.

I’m not Joomlart staff / support but have Methys too so maybe I can help.

There are actually two parts that are coloured there. Which one or both do you want to change? Do you have a screenshot or so.

The right hand column is grey I am trying to change it to a different colour there is a line between the white and the grey – put in by an image called dot.gif I found that and changed it but cannot find the place where the grey background is changed.

Hope I have understood exactly what you want! :-[

You can try this one (backup the file first so that you can restore) or test it by changing the code in firebug first

templates/ja_methys/css/template.css @ line circa 947 and change the background

#ja-right {
background: url(../images/dot.gif) repeat-y left top #f5f5f5;
}


That will still leave you with a coloured bar to the far right. And that presents a few more problems as it is actually from the container so spans the whole width of the site

A quick Chrome / Firebug hack on my site and you could do this to get rid of it on the right (leaving white) without a new colour appearing on the far left.

This works for me but again take a copy of the file first so that you can restore and I don’t get the blame if it goes wrong! 😀

@ line 908 ish

#ja-container {
background: url(../images/container-bg.gif) repeat-y center top;
}

Change it to

#ja-container {

• background: url(../images/container-bg.gif);

}


Hope that helps. Or is actually what you are trying to achieve!

Thanks for you help all sorted.

By changing container-bg.gif to the colour I wanted on the right and white on the left and by changing the background colour line 947 to the same colour it works.
