Hi,

I’ve been tinkering with the theme and I end up faced with a dilemma I’m hoping someone can help me with.

I would like the columns on my frontpage to have a background color (#C7C7C8) which I get if I assign that color to content in Parabola Settings/Colors. But if I do that, then all the rest of the content like the blog posts, pages, etc. have that background color which I don’t want. I would like them to remain white.

As such, I think it would be simpler to just leave Content background color as white and simply use custom css to change the background color for those columns. I tried so many combos looking at the source code to see which id and classes seem to regulate the look of those sections but I haven’t gotten anything to work the way the theme does if you change the content color.

#front-columns just assigns a kind of border around my columns so it’s definitely not that one.
#column1 (and subsequently column2 and column3) does nothing at all, and neither does using .ppcolumn column1 (and others)
I also tried using #column1 .ppcolumn column1 and various other combos to no effect. Everything remains desperately white.

Can anyone assist me?

Thank you for your time and help.

Hi

This might help in your custom CSS:

.column-text, .column-image {
background-color: #C7C7C8;
}

Hope it helps
