Making the background transparent

Hi,

How do i go about making the background of the ticker transparent, ie no background color or border?

Im trying to put it on a gradient background.

I imagine i add a module class suffix with some code, but not sure where to add to add it, or what code exactly.

Any help is mighty handy, thx

in modules/mod_gk_news_highlighter/style/style.php, find:

Code: Select all

<?php if($_GET['bgcolor'] != '') : ?>background: #<?php echo $_GET['bgcolor']; ?>;<?php endif;?>

and delete it.

that will mean you have no background styling.

all the best,

rw1

oh and if u want to remove the borders to, then find:

Code: Select all

   <?php if($_GET['bordercolor'] != '') : ?>border-top: 1px solid #<?php echo $_GET['bordercolor']; ?>;<?php endif;?>

   <?php if($_GET['bordercolor'] != '') : ?>border-bottom: 1px solid #<?php echo $_GET['bordercolor']; ?>;<?php endif;?>

and delete them.

Hi

We strongly recommend that you don't change the style.php file from the module. This file is necessary if you need to set more modules with unique ID style.

You can make your change easily in any CSS valid file. For example, if you want transparent background in the module, use this:

Code: Select all

.gk_news_highlighter {
background: transparent!important;
}   


!important rule will overcome other classes

Cheers

Hello,

Could someone please explain how to enlarge the size of the text that this scroller displays? Style.php doesn't cut it and I've read here that it shouldn't be messed with anyway.

Much obliged!

For example:

Title:

Code: Select all

.gk_news_highlighter_title {
font: 16px normal Arial;
}


Content:

Code: Select all

.gk_news_highlighter_desc {
font: 8px normal Arial;
}

For all who have problems finding classes in css to override download firebug (google it) and just override anything you need combined with !important
