The best way to figure something like this out is to view the source, then search for a string that you know is of the style you want.
In this case, it looks like the background is provided by the image named gradient.jpg. You may want to add a color directive to the CSS style, so the relevant code looks like this:
.sideblockheading {
color: #FFFFFF;
background-image: url(<?PHP echo "$themeurl"?>/gradient.jpg);
}
Hi Tony,
Yes I modified Gradient to change the background.
I just looked at styles.php and sideblockheading has no settings to change the text color.
You are up late aren't you?
It's about midnight here, which isn't really late for me.
Thanks Tony,
My site is: http://gcitonline.qld.edu.au/moodle/
The one I am trying to emulate is: http://campus.openpolytechnic.ac.nz/moodle/
That last change sort of worked (I have white text) but how can I now change the font/boldness? so it looks like the other site's headers?
.sideblockheading {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 11px;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color: #000066;
font-variant: normal
}
i AM GETTING SOMEWHERE NOW - Slowly but surely!
Many thanks for your assistance
John
Hi John,
I just took a look at your site and the text on the login page is now white also, and thus invisibile--oops a little too much white. Did you put the font color in the th section or maybe generalboxcontent?
To have white block headings you need to put (it looks like you want the font bold also):
font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF;
in three places-- headingblock is the middle top heading on the front page;
sideblockheading--the block headings
outlineheadingblock is the middle, top heading on a course homepage
Also, for these block headings, if you are not using a gradient, or special color, you might go ahead and completely delete the background image line (if you haven't already) and instead use the code like Tony mentioned:
background-color: #yournavyblue;
I noticed your site loads a little slowly, and this just gets rid of having to try to load background images into the headings
