PAGEBGCOLOR < Support

Question

I have been following the documentation TWiki.InstantEnhancements and have been trying to change the color of background on pages. I have added into Main.TWikiPreferences:

Set =PAGEBGCOLOR = #CC6699

as required by the doc. I have also added the variable into the view.tmpl body BGCOLOR property:

But my pages are all still white. I have even edited the view.tmpl to explicitly set the value of bgcolor:

<body bgcolor="#CC6699">

but no change. I have even tried just:

   * Set PAGEBGCOLOR = #aaffcc

still doesnt work

frown

Any ideas?

Answer

Dependent on your point of view, it is either a bug in the documentation (not updated for template changes) or a bug in the default skin (PatternSkin). In any case, PAGEBGCOLOR was never built in pattern skin.

For now you should make color changes in a style sheet. See PatternSkinCssCookbook for help.

Follow-up in Bugs:Item2436. Committed change in SVN r.10501 (will probably be in release 4.0.3).

You will be able to set PAGEBGCOLOR in any topic.

ok thanks for that. I have now added style sheets called colors.css, style.css, and layout.css to one of my webs (WebLogis) under a topic CssTopic.

I have added the following directive to my TWiki.TWikiPreferences

      * #Set TWIKILAYOUTURL = %PUBURLPATH%/WebLogis/CssTopic/layout.css
      * #Set TWIKISTYLEURL = %PUBURLPATH%/WebLogis/CssTopic/style.css
      * #Set TWIKICOLORURL = %PUBURLPATH%/WebLogis/CssTopic/colors.css

and changed the following styles:

.patternViewPage .patternSearchResultsBegin {

   border-color:#ddd; /*BO8*/

   background-color:#ffff66

}

html body {

   background-color:#9900cc; /*BG1*/

   color:#9900cc; /*T1*/

}

But i still have no change to my body bgcolor. Am i missing something here?

I commented out my directives 'cause they were causing layout errors on this page smile

-- TraceyMaule - 07 Jun 2006

The change I made to implement PAGEBGCOLOR covers these styles:

html body, #patternPage, #patternBottomBar, .patternPreviewArea, #patternOuter, #patternTopBar { background-color:INSERT_YOUR_COLOR_HERE;}
#patternOuter {background-image:none;}

Hey thanks Arthur finally got it all sorted. it was #patternOuter i was after smile

Could you again explain which files have to be changed to realize Set PAGEBGCOLOR working? Thanks
