On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

.breadcrumbs {background: none;}

I tried that, and it didn't work. I put it right underneath the other codes that started with periods. I still see the yellow box.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You might need to refresh a few times for it to take.

I'm using

.breadcrumbs { display: none; }

and I'm quite happy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Try background-color: white;, PC. Scola's is better if you want to lose breadcrumbs entirely, not just the background.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Or

background-color: #whateveryourbackgroundcoloris
for those who have non-white pages.

t /wishes for display:none for this week

Actually, background-color:none should work just fine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've decided that the breadcrumbs on the left are distracting and have moved them back to just above the other navigation elements. In case anyone was still following along.

True! It looks fine now.

Couple of questions:

1) Is there a way to get rid of the white box background behind the Message Center logo?

2) Is there a way to change the color of the red bar that highlights "Discussion Threads", "Site Admin", etc?

I've been perusing the CSS that was posted ages ago, so we could make our own changes and while I've been able to figure out a few of them (hello a:hover!), there's still some that I'm not able to parse out. I've picked up an instruction book for CSS, but it's slow going. Help?

The background on the image is white, not transparent, so it would have to be replaced with a whole new image -- I remember but am too lazy to Nilly right now that it didn't look right when either Jon or ita tried a transparent version?

Anyway, +1 to the request.

2) Is there a way to change the color of the red bar that highlights "Discussion Threads", "Site Admin", etc?

If I'm reading it right, that's under .section-header. So you'd do

.section-header {background-color:#123456;}

with the color code of your choice. (Do you need a reference for colors? Or is that covered in your book?)

That's what I thought I remembered, but I was hoping I could change it. I've got a pale purple background and it just kind of jumps off the page at me in a not so happy way.

Do you need a reference for colors?

Nah, I look at the Paint rbg and convert to the hex. Why, I'm not sure, but that's what I end up doing. (I think it's for the mental excersize, the bane of unemployment.) I just couldn't break out what element was controlling it. There's so many header-this and header-that, it's very confusing!
