Mike,

In your .css file, you have the background-color specified as #000 (black) for the header and photobox, which will override the background-color of the body. Either remove those lines, or change them to transparent.

Witty,

thanks a lot.
I removed the color settings in the css file and now it's running fine.

Cheers, Michael

Looks good, but I cannot figure out what files to modify.

I've gotten to the CHMOD part but then I get lost. Can someone please post which files I need to edit and where to place the modifications? I'm not familiar with HTML or CSS for that matter, so it's a little confusing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

John Warren,

What you have to do next is put some code into your image template file (the html file in your templates file). For instance, mine is under the Simple template and I adjusted the image_template.html file.

While it was said above to put this into the heading, that didn't work for me. I put the following code in right after the body tag:

HTML Code:

<body>

So, you would then see this:

HTML Code:

<body>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
body{
	background-color: <HARMONIOUS_DARK>;
	color: <HARMONIOUS_BRIGHT>;
}
</style>

Then I saved and reuploaded.

You may need to play with your template. Put it between the "head" tags or between the "body" tags to see which works for you.

The code you need to put in:

I hope that helps.

Hello Dawn,

Thank you for your instruction. I tried to change the code like you instructed, but the header, navigation, photo title and comment section are still old colors. Do I need to change anywhere else to make them all look seamless?

Many thanks for your help!

Hi, Pengrus,

So, you probably have defined the colors for those in your CSS. Find the CSS you are using. Go through that code and look for things that say background or background-color. You'll want to change those to "transparent." That will allow the other code to come through.

I hope that works for you. :-)

Thanks Dawn. I tried it and it works. Thanks for the transparent tip.

I have one more question. On the pixelpost default style, Simple template, how can I make the change so that only the thin photo border (frame) changes color per this addon? This will be a nice touch.

thanks in advance!
