[Theme: Minimatica] Changing Black Background of Gallery Images

do you have the theme installed somewhere?

sorry – I’m super new at this. I have it installed in FTP, if that’s what you mean?

If you have a link for the site, it’s easier to spot which css you need to change ??

in style.css find

#slider {
	position:relative;
	height:410px;
	padding:30px 0 30px 0;
	margin-bottom:20px;
	background:#151515;
	-moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 20px #999;
	-webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 20px #999;
	box-shadow:0 0 20px #999;
}

and change

background:#151515;

the number is the hex number for the color you want. You can find one at https://html-color-codes.com/

the style.css file is at wp-content/themes/minimatica

sorry i think i must be missing something – i’ve tried updating the background cc to one of the codes listed in the link you provided, but the background color didn’t change.

the link for my site is – https://cottagesoftreasurecove.com/newsite1 – hopefully that will help??

any help w/ changing the font/color of the header title, adding an image to the background of the gallery images (instead of just a solid color) would be very helpful too!

Did you remember to keep the “#” in front of the color hex-number? As far as I can see you haven’t made any changes to the color in the css file.

Hi – yes. I changed it back to 161616 yesterday so I didn’t mess anything up. I tried changing it to CCCCCC today, but still nothing. Do you know how to load an image into that background? I’m not sure if I want it to be a solid color or an image, yet.

Thank you again!

hi – just wanted to follow up in case anyone else is having the same problem – your suggestions did work! i was on a work server so it may have blocked some functions, but at home, the changes were there. thank you again!

What about replacing the black with a small repeating jpeg image?

Victor89 I need your wise advice … or anyone else if they can help!

I am using the minimatica theme with slider and i have extended the number of slider windows to 5 which works well and looks good on a pc – but when anyone views my site from their phone the sliders black background appears too short…

I know there are mobile site widgets but I dont want to use those cause my content is mainly images so the mobile version looks crappy.

Any way of extending the background of the slider so it looks pretty via my mobile ??

thanks

Emma
