Control of page design
May 10 2008, 10:54 AM EDT Oh, one other thing. I wish I could control the color of the page background. I liked your city skyline design, but I didn't like the stark white background. I'd like to be able to pick tan or something, that is easier on the eyes. Likewise with print color. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 10 2008, 11:05 AM EDT You could always make a table to fill up the entire page and change the background of the inside of the table to the colour you want. All you have to remember to do is to not have the table boarder. Do you find this valuable? |

I typically don't have a table, so much as a list on the main page, and an alphabetical list under Wiki Pages. I want to keep the list format, but add a color behind the print, and hopefully be able to change the print as well. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Control of page design
May 11 2008, 8:46 AM EDT Simple, in easy edit create the table above the text, do what I said with the changing of the table and then (still in easy edit) highlight and drag all the text up and put it into the table. It should stay in the same format if you just do that. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Now I have a tan background, but the title is still white. I can't see a way to change the color of the title background. Thanks, Gene Douglas Do you find this valuable? |

I googled a page that had a list of letters and numbers to adjust for both color and brightness. However, I can't see a way to apply the same principle to the page heading.

But I've had a look at your homepage and it looks good and you may be (I don't Know) the first one that has used a table to create a background colour for a page. Who knows maybe other people will follow in your footprint. lol Do you find this valuable? |
