    Hello,

    I would like to add background color around my slider that fills the vertical width of the page. Not a border but a background.

    I have changed the body’s background, but since my slider’s width is less then the footer’s and header’s width, the body’s background color makes the site look like an I.

    I have tried using width: 100%; on #customizr-slider, #customizr-slider.container, .carousel-inner, and .carousel. But each of these just make the slider’s width 100%, so the picture now stretches across the screen.

    So I am after the wrapper or container that the slider is centered in, so I can make that the same width as the page, then give it a background color.

    Thanks

  • If I understand what you are trying to achieve…just thinking here, haven’t tested it…and your site is not available…but referring to your post here, have you tried something like this:
    .carousel { width: 1240px; max-width: 1240px; margin: 0 auto; }
    This will certainly affect your images…but I don’t know if anything else will be affected…responsiveness may suffer…the background color at the right and left would be the same as the body…

    Edit: nevermind, trying to check using my own site…not quite working for what I think you are trying to achieve…

    Ah, sorry, forgot the link

    Thanks for the comment.

    Yeah, I’ve tried what you’ve said above, but the image then becomes the same width as the page (which you’ve said), and this is not what I would like.

    I am after is the div that sits between the header.tc-header and the main-wrapper and holds the carousel.

    Like I mentioned in the other topic…your site link is not working for me…it times out and says page is not available…

    Guess I am confused on what you are trying to achieve…afaik, the main div id for the slider is #customizr-slider …as I mentioned in the other topic, I am not an expert…so…I guess I will have to leave it to them…sorry…

    Hey Deputy05,

    That’s lame… guess it’s to be expected from free hosting…yeah for testing…

    Anyway, your answer guided me to what I wanted. I did this:

    #customizr-slider {
width: 90%;
padding: 1% 5% 0 5%;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #ffffff;
}

    Forgot that padding could be used and with % instead of px it does the trick.

    Thanks for checking up on all my posts. It’s much appreciated.

    You are welcome…glad I could help lead you to a possible solution…
