Hi,

I am using JA_T3_Blank template on joomla 3.2.1, I was wondering how I would change the color of the side menu bar.

Many thanks,

Saco.

Hi Pavit,

I have tried your suggestion but the menu remains the same. I have changed advanced options for Main Menu module type, is this correct?, I then added the changes to custom.css.

your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I have managed to change the text colour of the side menu by modifying template.css, but still not the background colour. The problem is that I cannot use custom.css file since I am are using the JATV2 Blank template ver.2.5.8.

Is there another work around for this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi

Assuming you are using a menu module type , you can add a custom css style for it

Open the template,css file and add this line of code

.module_menu_mymenu{
background: #your background color;
}

Then in the menu module inside advanced options add this to the Module class suffix _menu_mymenu

Hi Pavit,

thanks for the response, I have added the code :


.module_menu_mymenu{
background: #FF3333
}


To both template.css files and then in the menu module inside advanced options added this to the Module class suffix :


_menu_mymenu


but nothing changes, however if I add :


_menu_mymenu


To Menu class suffix, the font changes colour, and I get bullet points in front of each menu item. Where have I gone wrong?.

Hi Pavit,

I have just installed a fresh version of t3 template from jatc_t3v2_blank_j32.zip, on localhost, did what you instructed me to do and still nothing.

Am I using the correct version of JA_T3_Blank – Default?

thank you for your time!
