Hey guys. On my journal right now I'm trying to change the color of the bar around the "top of the page" footer link - for some reason I can't get it off of the pale blue it's on now and (preferably) change it to a gray that matches the other navigation stuff.

Also, the other navigation links (recent entries, archive, reading, etc) are all left-aligned on their bar, and I can't figure out how to get them to center instead.

I'm using a tweaked version of this code, if that makes anything clearer. Thanks in advance for your help!

Uhm! I would say reassuring. In a at least it's not just you sort of thing. So, I thought about this because it really is ugly, and I fiddled with my own coding a bit. I made this work for myself and I think the problem might lie in the fact that DW is still fairly finicky with code at times. So! Let me see if I can't help.

Firstly remove:
#footer {
background-color: #e3e3e3 !important;
}

Once that's gone, ctrl+f for #footer. Once you're got that, delete that section and replace it with:

#footer {
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: right;
display: block;
padding: .8em;
background: #e3e3e3 !important;
}

...nope, still showing #ecf6ff. Which now has me doubly confused, since if you're replicating the same weird problem and can fix it while I can't, what in the world is it on my end?

My issue was that I had two "background: INSERTCOLOUR"s, so once I took off one, it bothered to show a colour.

Boo. I'll try to copy your layout somewhere and see if I can't do anything about it.



Although, quietly, I wonder if it has anything to do with the site scheme. Since I see this footer colour on even the normal DW layouts.

Thanks for trying, anyway. I appreciate it! :(

Hmmm... maybe I'll open a support request with a link back to this post a little later.

No problem! I'm happy to help since it's helping me adjust to DW as opposed to LJ.

Good luck with that! ♥

DON'T LISTEN TO ME ABOUT THE SCHEME THING. my lies will sell you up the river. I just checked and I'm wrong.
