Content View: Background colour?

Phillipa · November 26, 2012 3:43AM

Hi - A seemingly simple question that I just can't solve. How do I change the background colour on my Content views? I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find the colour option.

Thanks, Phillipa

Hi Phillipa - If you want to change the background colour only for the Content view you can switch to "Edit HTML source" (<> button) when editing and then change the
<body> tag to something like this:
<body bgcolor='red'>
or
<body bgcolor='rgb(100,200,240)'>
.
Please make a backup copy before making changes.

See http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp for HTML colours.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for that. I have no experience with HTML but will try it. I was hoping that there would just be a colour menu like on the views:)

Hi Phillipa, when you click on Edit, open the HTML edit mode (<> symbol) and replace the <body> tag with
<body bgcolor='#D8A033'> for example.
If you go for <body bgcolor='red'> (blue, yellow or green) you will get bright Lego shades.
You can easily customise this and get nicer shades by copying the colour code like #B6B853.
If you go to any colour customisation mode (there is one in Content View), you can click on the colour-picker and the colour code will appear in the bottom left hand corner...

Welcome!
