Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to set a custom color for the portal skin & containers on my site. I have looked through all the options but don't see anything that makes sense to me. Hopefully this is just an easy thing to find and do. Any advice is greatly appreciated as I am very new to this. Thanks.

Sounds like you are learning that you would like to be able to do your own custom skin and container modifications.

Here is page on my site having links to sites guiding you on how to make your own modifications to a skin. 

If you check those out and still have more questions, post again.....

Yes there should be an easy way for you to do simple color adjustments.

Log on as Host.  Navigate to Host  >>  Host Settings

Choose from the dropdown list either DNN-Blue, DNN-Gray, etc.

You probably have one of these previously selected.

If that is the case - good!

Now go to Admin >> Stylesheet Editor

append to bottom of stylesheet:

.skinmaster {
 background-color: plum;
}

.pagemaster {
 background-color: lightblue;
}

Save and refresh your browser.  You will see changes as soon as you "Refresh".  Change those colors as you wish.

DougV you are the man! I'm sure this is easy stuff for some, but not for me. I have one other question if you don't mind- I have the title bars (?) (the bars that have the links "home", "services" etc across the top and bottom and each window. They are all set to Blue right now-is there one more line of code similar to what you did above to control that?

Thanks!

Ok, one other question. I am trying to match a color from a bus. card I had made up. It's at this link:

http://www.overnightprints.com/main.php?A=designer&step=2&BG=img/bg/Favorites/fexture103_full.jpg&bgback=img/bg/Favorites/fexture103_full.jpg

I want to match the shiny part right near the center, but am having a hard time finding a hex number to match. Any ideas?

I have a co-worker who has photoshop, I'll check with her on the hex colors.

I need to find out also what the title bars are labled that hold the main content of the pages and the links box. I think from what you've shown me so far I could figure out the code, but I don't know what they are called. I'm not sure if you'll know which bars I'm reffering to but if you look at my site,

www.tryx.net its the 2 boxes that are still blue that I want to change.

Thanks.
