...Change the Color of the Copyright Footer Background?

[ApexSpeed]

On a center floating forum (fixed width of 780 pixels), the very bottom of the page color ends with the default copyright markings. I would like to change the background color of that area, to give the appearance that the center page extends completely from the very top of the browser window, right to the bottom of the entire page. I have searched and guessed, and can't figure it out. Can anyone lend some insight as to how I may make my complete footer background white?


Thanks,

You need to edit the Table Footer (.tfoot) CSS definition. This can be found:

Admin CP --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> Main CSS

Scroll down to Table Footer. Change the background colour to be whatever you want.

Scroll down to Table Footer. Change the background colour to be whatever you want.

The table footer in the CSS is listed as #FFFFFF, but the bottom of the forum pages still resemble even this forum (grey background color filling the absolute bottom of the footer/page).

It is the area here on this forum that contains:

What I want it to do is have the background of that area, match the actual white page background. Why does this seem so complicated?

Well, seeing as how no one else was able to figure this problem out or lend some insight to the issue, I figured I'd throw out my solution that I found.

The problem with the copyright text at the bottom of the footer is that the code for it is outside of the footer table, leaving it to hang out of the main body on it's own. Fine in most instances, but if you use a background pattern, the copy is illegible, and distracting, not to mention that the top flush page hangs at the bottom of the browser window, cut off and looking incomplete.

Move the code for the copyright into the last table closure, remove the paragraph breaks, set the page body padding to 0px on top and bottom, and your page will end at the bottom of the browser window, with the base of the footer. I changed my footer color to match the page color, and the look is complete.


Too bad there isn't an easier way to do this. The copyright info hangin' out on the bottom by itself causes a real abrupt page end, and looks funny for any forum (like this one, even) that floats a fixed width page hinged on the top and bottom.




Now I can sleep.

Was this made easier in vb4? I'm new to vbulletin and the solution above is a little over my head :-/

Thanks
