psychandtheother 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2011 Hi I'm trying to change my carousel background from #FFFFFF to an all black background. My site is psychologyandtheother.com The carousel is right above the Navigation system. I need some custom CSS code to change the color and so far NOTHING has worked. If anyone has a great idea as to how to make the images slide on there own that would be great as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny+ 1,327 Report post Posted October 16, 2011 Hi, Add this to Platform Settings --> Custom Code --> CSS Rules: [code] #carousel .content-pad { background: #000000 !important; } [/code] In changing the background of the carousel to black, you may want to change the arrow images using photo editing software, when the background is dark it quite difficult to see them. If you don't have access to any photo editing software such as Photoshop for example, you could try this code below, it removes the background from the arrow images. [code] #carousel .jcarousel-prev { background: url("images/carousel_navleft.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 #888888 !important; border-radius: 24px; -moz-border-radius: 24px; -webkit-border-radius: 24px; } #carousel .jcarousel-next { background: url("images/carousel_navright.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 #888888 !important; border-radius: 24px; -moz-border-radius: 24px; -webkit-border-radius: 24px; } [/code] Have a play about with the #888888 color code, changing it to a lighter or darker color may help.
