| How do you control the background color/font of a list page? | etgarv | 11/5/10 2:14 PM | I can control the header using the gadget header colors, but can't find a way to control the background color for the data itself. It does change with different themes so it's not hard-coded in the list page itself, but I can't figure out how to con |

| Re: How do you control the background color/font of a list page? | thaleia | 4/30/12 8:13 AM | Hello, we mean a page that was created with a "list" template, such as this one: https://sites.google.com/site/vocaalthaleia/home/repertoire The list seems like a gadget to me. But it does not listen to the corresponding styles in the configuration |
| Re: How do you control the background color/font of a list page? | Raye Laskey | 4/30/12 8:45 AM | Ah, I see. Well, I can't find a way to do it either using the Colors and Fonts settings for "gadgets". The only way I found was to change the page's background colors but this won't work for everyone since it changes not just the gadget but the whole |
| Re: How do you control the background color/font of a list page? | thaleia | 4/30/12 10:02 AM | Indeed, this will not work in my case.Do you know a way to create custom templates (being a curious java developer)? |
| Re: How do you control the background color/font of a list page? | Raye Laskey | 4/30/12 10:10 AM | If you are asking about creating custom Google Sites templates, yes that can be done.

| Re: How do you control the background color/font of a list page? | thaleia | 4/30/12 10:37 AM | I'm sorry, i was talking about custom themes. I've read that this is not possible now.

| Re: How do you control the background color/font of a list page? | Raye Laskey | 4/30/12 10:53 AM | Yes and no. My feeling is that Google is targeting non-techies.

| Re: How do you control the background color/font of a list page? | Raye Laskey | 4/30/12 5:48 PM | The idea of targeting a known id or class with a style makes sense but I don't know if this can be done.
