how did i get the gray box?

[jwebb33]

*scratching my head*

I can't figure out how I got the faded gray box around my slideshow? I was checking out options in the easy customizer, but the only change I made was the font. Hm.

Any suggestions? Thanks! :)

It shows up blue on my computer, but then again, I'm colored blind. Anyway, that box is part of the theme you picked for your site. if you look at my page I have a black background and a gray box around mine. You may want to check out different themes if you don't want the box.

Andy,

Is there a way to keep the theme but tell the computer not to include the box?

You can get rid of the gray box and border with this CSS:

#bioBox .boxBottom {background:none; border:none !important;}

Hi all,
If it can't be removed, I too am interested in making the grey box black, so it merges in with the background. I have seen it done on other sites, so there is some solution.
Thanks

The CSS that jfriend posted above will remove it.

Are you still having a problem? Please post details here if you are.

Do we put in the CSS from the control panel or in the "edit" field of the gallery? I originally put it in the CSS from the control panel and it doesn't do anything. I then put it in the "edit" field of the gallery, and it gets rid of everything and leaves a grey line across the slide show.

Hmmmmm.

I don't know which CSS you're asking about, but it normally goes in the site-wide-customization box labeled "CSS" in the control panel. If some CSS you put in the box isn't doing anything, then please tell us what CSS you put in there, what you are trying to accomplish and include a link to the page you're trying to change. Otherwise, we can't help much.

Sorry, this would help.

I am trying to remove the grey around the slide show on my main page and of course will do the same if it happens on the gallery pages that I set up. If it can't be moved, anyway to get the grey box away from right under my banner?

I won't inlude the CSS that I did since I know more HTML and I removed it since I was pretty much putting it in place "blind".

Thanks.

Thanks. I think all you need to add is this to your Site-Wide-Customization CSS:

#bioBox {background:none;}

If you want a little more spacing between your tall slideshow images and your header, you can add this CSS:

#bioBox {margin-top:10px;}

I'm kind of wondering the same thing, except I am wndering if there is any way to have the tiled image that comes with the theme I am using come right up to the pictures in the slideshow?

You can check my site out here: http://photos.wendellbeitzel.com/

You can kind of see how I have that lightly boxed background, but it stops well outside of the actual slideshow pictures.

Thank you!

Thank you! That background graphic is barely visible unless your monitor brightness is turned way up. I had a hard time seeing it, but I think you can get it to go all the way up the slideshow by adding this CSS to your customization:

#homepage .box {background:none !important;}
