I’ve serached the forums and read the users guide, but do not see where to change the modeul boxes (typically down the right side of the template). I would like to make the box orange, like the bright orange towards the top of the page, where there is a orange box with snippets of text, located just under the header.

Hi zzzipperhead,

I worked on this some time ago and answered a thread where something like this came up. I was working on Ja-Fagus at the time, but the way it works is the same. The site was http://www.jonas-christy.com

Each module box is made up of 4 pictures. They are box-tr.gif (top right) box-tl.gif (top left) box-br.gif and box-bl.gif. These are found in templates/ja_fagus/images.

The css for these is found in template.css in the module section around line 1300 somewhere.

There you will also find a section for div.module-notitle. That corresponds to four pictures also in templates/ja_fagus/images. These are called box-notitle-tr.gif etc.

To use these for a module without title, you write -notitle in Module Class Suffix in the Module Parameter section of the module you want. Then Then module will use those four pictures in stead.

So if you want to make somethings different, like red, make your own four pictures, name them box-red-tr.gif etc. Then add -red in Module Class Suffix in the Module Parameter section of the module you are using, and you will have the red module.

For the Post-it, that is what I did. I just have four pictures that the mocule uses. In this way you can make it look however you want, just limited by your immagination and ability to make the pictures.

I hope this is clear and you can use it. Good luck.

If you want to read the whole thread it is:
