Background Color

V2... So there is no way to change the background color?

No, it's possible, but they've gone to some effort to obscure the CSS used in V2 page layouts. I'm trying to determine the exact set of CSS selectors needed to change the background color of the main contant area of a wiki page in V2. I will post the code and a link to an example when I get something that you can use.

Ok. The CSS is really convoluted for V2. Here's a sample of a page with a modified background color, but it's ugly. PBwiki really doesn't support (or encourage) modifying the look-and-feel of their pages, except through their own tools.

If you want to change the color like that example, put this code inside a Google Gadget plugin:

<style>
td#page-col-2 { background: #ffcccc; }
</style>

Thank you! I still am unable, however, to get the background to change? I tried to insert a plugin and paste the code like you said, but I just get a box on my page that I don't want there?

If you'd like to invite guyfawkes (at) brutsch (dot) com to your wiki, I'll be glad to have a look at it. Or if you just want to post a link to the page in question, I'll see what I can figure out without logging in.

I am sure that I am just not doing it right. The link is: http://pinebushhoot.pbwiki.com. It's a friend's page that I am helping her with, otherwise I would invite you. Thanks so much!

I don't see the code I posted earlier on the FrontPage or the SideBar of http://pinebushhoot.pbwiki.com/.

Try this. Visit the 2.0 Forum Demo Wiki, then login with the email and password on the FrontPage. Go to this page, edit it, then select and copy the Google Gadget on that page. Go back to your friend's wiki, edit a page, and paste the GoogleGadget in her page, then save it. Lemme know what happens.

Yes! Thanks! You're the best! :-)

You're welcome. Now replace that awful test color I used with something nice!
