Regarding the website, [www.bremersanctuary.org](http://www.bremersanctuary.org) After adding the Facebook logo to the home page sidebar, the background photo darkened so that it’s now difficult to read the overlaying text. How can I either lighten this photo or replace it? This website was created by my late husband, and I don’t fully understand its internal structure. Thank you, Nancy ---

Sounds like something the theme’s author, @henkvrieselaar could be best placed to help with. Rob ---

Thanks Rob. Hi Nancy @nancyslepicka , I think something went wrong with adding the FB logo. When you remove the logo everything is OK? Anyway, you can change the background color in the Theme Styles \> Colours \> Transparent Vertical Stroke. Henk ---

Thanks for responding, Henk. I did remove the first FB logo, and the background was still dark, then replaced it with a smaller FB logo – problem remains. Attached is screen shot of home page in edit mode. Where do I find the path you recommend to change the background color? ​Nancy ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/e/e4fc80c151fba0cfefefaedbc12db1e179b58ed2.png) ---

1. Click on the blue _i_ (info) button in the top right side of the RW screen. Now a new window shows up. 2. Click on the tab “Styles”. 3. Choose a color here: ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/9/9d7b1c777ec05bbd3710a6fe98f729b17bd5322d.jpg) ---

I don’t have that choice, and suspect it’s because when I’m on the home page and click on info, I get Page Inspector: Home (Styled Text) rather than Photo Album, as in your screen shot. I don’t see a photo album in the webpage menu. fyi: it’s Rapidweaver 5.3.2 ​This website was built by my late husband, who was learning on the fly, and it may not be structured correctly. Really appreciate your help, Henk. Nancy ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/c/cde4cb3c74a4d34d7e805b4bd1a3a0f25341a377.png) ---

With every page (Styled Text, Photo Album, etc) you can open the Page Inspector. **In your example you see the theme styles of Showslides. That’s another theme.** **Click on the tab below “Page specific theme” (Default…) and choose Out of the Box** The screenshot is RW5. I hope this helps . ---

@nancyslepicka I’ve made a mistake, Nancy. I’m really sorry for this. I thought you’re using the Out of the Box theme, but it’s ShowSlides. You can find the background color of the content here (Content/ExtraContent Background): ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/f/fd3c3b57b7630680c9c3034d89e5eb83de882183.jpg) When it doesn’t work can you please send me your rw file to henkvrieselaar at gmail dot com
