I would like to change the highlight parts to a like grey. while keeping the center white.

2) how do i extend the dropdrown background color all the way to the end to the page???

i tried setting the background color with a dimension of 960 px, so it will go all the way BUT it messed up the entire positiion. How do i get the end to reach without disturbing everything else?

3) and how do i get rid of this ugly blue-purple border around my logo?

Well, it may be a bit hard to help since we don't have access to your template information.

If you based this off the wistie template you should be able to change this easily in templates/wistie/css/style.css

body {
margin: 0px;
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #707070;

i am using wistie on pligg 1.0.

thanks for the suggestion ive solved most of the question i had except the category menu problem.

how can i have the category menu reach all the way to the end of the page? this is underneath the search box. I tried playing with the dropdown default css, but i cant seem to get the menu to extend to the end.

any suggestion? this is my categories tag:

#categories {
background-color: #F7931E;
border-bottom:1px solid #FFA500;
border-left:1px solid #FFA500;
border-right:1px solid #FFA500;
height:23px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

is there anything i should add to this? or do i do it in the header.tpl??

to change the color of the "text content" of posts following the code and put the color you want.

Open: /templates/wistie/css/style.css and change the code:

body {
margin: 0px;
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: # 2C2C2C;
}
}
____________________
font-size: 12px; (here you change the font size)
color: # 2C2c2C, (put the code and change its color)

save and view the result on your page!

I am now looking for the code to change the background color, if you find share here.
