How do I get rid of the colored frame surrounding my slideshow?

[shniks]

Hi all,


I want to remove the gradient white frame surrounding my slideshow on the homepage (I only want this done on the homepage), so that my entire page is pure white color. How can I do this? Secondly can I put in some code to change the page color to any color I choose?


Thanks,

To remove the background gray box, add this to your CSS:
#bioBox .boxBottom {
background: none !important;
}

Do you just want to change the color of your homepage? Here's code that will do that, just remove the .homepage if you want the background color to go throughout your site.
.homepage {
background: #dcdcdc;
}
.galleries {
background: #fff;
}
I just used a shade of gray as an example. Since the galleries page is a copy of the homepage, I explicitly set the color to white there (in case you wanted to retain your previuos look on the galleries page). If you want the homepage and the galleries page to be the same color, just change the values as desired.

A good source of color codes is at http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html.

Denise, maybe you can help me as well. I'm having pretty much the same issue. I want my entire front page to be black, but I still have some kind of border behind my slideshow. I put in the code referenced above (the first part, anyhow) with no luck.

Any suggestions?

You already have this in your CSS:

#bioBox .boxBottom {
background: none !important;
}
Replace it with this, and you should be all set:
#bioBox .boxBottom {
background: none !important;
border: none !important;
}
Also - you have a mix of older and new slideshow parameters. I'd recommend that you replace the code using the current parameters as shown in http://wiki.smugmug.com/display/SmugMug/Flash+Slideshow. You can't mix the two types of parameters, and in the long run you'll be better off with the newer version.

Hello,

I have pasted the following to my css section:

#bioBox .boxBottom {
background: none !important;
border: none !important;
}
Updated and refreshed my page and I still get the gray border around my images.

What next?
