GCU Forum - Store question for Shaun

Norval_132688 Gold Member artist Posts: 908	Store question for Shaun May 3^rd, 2010, 9:19pm Shaun is there any way to change the white background page color to match the color that we pick for our modules? I know this is a picky question, and as long as I had white I didn't notice. But now that I have changed to a dark color, the uneven line-up of modules and the white spaces really pop out.

Yes, try the Page Background setting under:
Look & Design >> Store Colors under the Background Tab

The problem seems to be the programing of the modules. They use to butt. Now there is a variance in the sizes that is leaving cracks of the general programing background showing through?

You have the option to change the background color of the modules, which it looks like you've done. However the overall background of the page will remain white, and this can't be changed.

I was afraid of that Shaun can the size of the modules [background] be changed? Right now they do not butte. The top horizontal of the modules on the right facing do not line up with the left and the vertical side edges are even worse. I'm on explorer, I just checked foxfire the horizontals line up but the vertical side edges are even worse than on explorer. It seems the sizing of the modules themselves are out of wack.

:-D, Doreen I put in my first post it was a picky question. And I know no-one probably notices [or do they?]. I'm going to give an example from when I was a lettering artist. In pasting up type or hand-lettering we were allowed no more than 2000 of an inch up or down from the horizontal. That was the hardest part of our eye training. Mr Hall said the customer may not know what makes him feel uneasy but that slight uneasyness could cost the company a sale. That's when the most sold card was $.25 and the real top of the line was a $1.00. :-D
