Hi Ciaran,
another 2 questions regarding the Metropolis template -
a) can you please suggest what custom css to use to change the heading-colour just for the side-column headings -
the side-columns are darker modules, and I would like the text to be whiter.

b) when I assign a module-suffix of "style-box" to the side-column module, then the module becomes the same color as the lighter background, which is great to have as an option. Is there a way for me to be able to specify dark text for those modules?

The effect would then to have some dark side-column modules with whiter text, and some lighter side-column modules with dark text. Is this even possible? I know the module headings are h3, but there is some override which changes the side-column module heading darker. I tried to change it using some custom css, but I didn't quite get it right.

Thanks!

Hi Tami

a. To change the sidecol headers could you try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters...


.sidecol_block .module_header h3 {
color: #FFFFFF !important;
}


b. Would you have a URL to an example of the text you wish to darken? There shouldn't be any issue changing the color of any text depending on the module class suffix.

Hi Ciaran,
I've been away, now I'm back to working on this website.
Thanks for your previous replies.
Regarding my request (b) to have dark text in the side-column box, here is the url:
http://dev.wchs.info/ (look for the side-col module on the right with heading CSH News, I have put in a module-style: "style-box", which avoids the darkening of that side-col module).

Here is another question about the side-column styling:

c) Can the side-col module have a white/light background, with dark text ? Clients are finding the side-col modules too dark.

Also, I'm not sure if I should start a new topic for this:

d) Can the logo-container have a background color? I now have a logo which is plain grey&black, transparent, so any background colour will show through. I would like to have a pale-green as background colour for that whole logo module. Can you tell me how to do that?

Thank you, you are always so fast to respond, I really appreciate your great service!!

Hi Tami

Regarding the dark text in the sidecolumn area of your site try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters where #000000 is the new color of your text...


#sidecol_b .module_style-box, #sidecol_b .module_style-box a, #sidecol_b .module_style-box h3 {
color: #000000 !important;
text-shadow: none;
}


Regarding (c) do wish to make this change to the default module or to the 'style-box' variation?


To change the background color of your logo area add the following to the Custom CSS field where #C8DFE4 is your new background color...


#logo {
background-color: #C8DFE4;
}
