Skin help [+40rep]

Ok right, this may sound really stupid.. But don't take the **** alright, the first skin I'm making lmao.

http://i24.tinypic.com/1z1zcd4.png

How do I get the background colour behind that text Green? You can see, the first bit is where I havn't hovered over it, and the second bit I've hovered.

I've fiddled about with it and I can't figure it out.. Hmm.

Help? +40rep.

EDIT:

ok i sorted it, but then it's made the other thing go wrong lol.

When your making the skins, you changed the font colour, check in style managers where you change the colour of the category, underneath it you have font colour , change that

Buuuut I got the font colours what I want.

It's the background colour behind the font i wanna change.

&btw, scratch the second image, go from the first one.
second one is wrong by me. sozz.

Oh yeah, could you printscreen the part where you change the colours for that section

here:

when i change it to green though, i get the second image. i just want the like titles with the green background, and the rest with the grey?

You gave me the wrong section, thats for the body ( the background for the forum not page)

I can do it another way, send me the XML file, and ill change it for you, and also printscreen what you need to do.

OR

Look for the green colour hex code in those links above ( normal links css) etc

i know what the green colour hex code is, and well when i edit that section, say change grey to green, the bit i want to change, changes. but then so does another bit.

aah and idk what you mean by XML file, i'm thick as **** when it comes to this, i just wanted to give it a go lol

Don't worry man, i was worse but now I know the basics for skinning.

So you know where it is, don't change it to a colour leave it blank you can do this by clicking the colour and go to the 4 dotted box thingy on the menu wen it comes up


XML is the download file for the skin.

I will try and get screenshots on how to do it.

what forum is this on btw?

habmate

the skin aint public or nothing yet, so no one has seen it
it's quite shocking LOL but you gotta start somewhere.
