Main Categories contribution help

[indicaz]

Can someone help me figure this out...

 

 

without changing any of my CSS

 

how can i go about changing the backround of this contrib?

 

 

code is as follows

 

this contrib displays your main categories/images on the main page...

 

the backround is formatted by the stylesheet.css, but i dont want to alter my whole shops backround

 

i just want the table generated by this contrib to be white

 

you can view my page at http://armynavydeals.ca

 

to see what i mean..

 

thanks in advance

ok lol i should probably be more patient....

 

 

just change the class

 

and create a new class in your stylesheet.css

 

this contrib uses the smalltext which is standard in the OSC script...

 

so you can control this seperately if you create a new style

 

cool

 

although optimally it would be the best to be able to do this from within the script... just a small config line that specifies the backround color :)
