Different background color for the gallery and image?

[terriwu]

Does anyone know if it's possible to use a stylesheet (I use alexc) and then when the viewer goes to see just one photo the background color changes (I'd like for some photos to have a black background when the photo - not the gallery - is viewed in full.

Possible?

I only have a partial solution for this - perhaps some CSS expert can improve on it.

You could try adding this code to your stylesheet

Code: Select all

div#imagepage
{
  background-color: black;
}


This will create a black background for most of the page below the menu bar. There is a slight problem though - it doesn't work on the "x page views since..." bit, which will continue to use the original colour. Depending on the colours you are using, this can produce a slightly odd-looking strip at the bottom of the page.

An alternative approach might be to use a wide black border around your image. To do this, place the following code in your stylesheet (I use this in my galleries). Experiment with changing the 15 pixel setting:

Code: Select all

IMG.display
{
  border 15px solid black;
}


Hope this is of some help.
