Purple/dark blue theme for gaming website.

I enjoy this flash gaming website a lot, and I'd like to change the white matting on the sides to some form of darker matting. Black would do, though a similar color to the dark blue in the top banner would be incredibly well recieved. I'm looking for a hero.

Gorgeous! (Extra thanks for the step-by-step. You were right in thinking I needed that aswell!) If you can, could you clarify the "td" portion of your script?

Calico, he still can. Don't know what you want to achieve with your post.
I've seen many threads being forgotten or abandoned by the guy providing the solution as there is actually not more to answer. Googling for what
td
means isn't even worth answering for many. When I check in here and can give a fast answer, I will do that.Better than hoping for an answer two days later.
If you think my answer is not informative enough, you could have elaborated more. I won't spend half an hour explaining HTML/CSS basics.
If Anagrammar or Alex Carmer are upset about that and tell me, I will never ever touch a thread they answered first again.
Not only is that a PITA, but more often than not, the more time you waste on a tutorial, the more likely OP ignores it anyway, or maybe they still don't get it because it isn't simplified enough. One day, when I'm not so lazy, I intend to make a complete tutorial for Stylus, but breaking down all the basics into countless, easily digestible demos will be quite the project. A generic answer probably isn't that helpful, but it's better than ignoring it altogether, which I likely would've done. Anyone should feel free to elaborate or expand upon any advice given here, IMO, especially if it lets me off the hook for any further explanation. This is the opposite of letting me off the hook. I now feel obligated to be half as considerate as @calico女 believes me to be, so here's a basic tutorial:
table
layouts are a pretty old-school version of dynamic CSS. They were, and still are, used mainly for grids and charts. They have many cool tricks which could previously only be achieved by using them, but they also have many odd limitations as far as not being able to specify borders and margins normally.Most similar modern layouts are switching to
flex
CSS, since it can achieve the same objectives without many of the limitations, buttable
layouts are still used, and may even be preferable for simple grids. Using them for your entire html when your site doesn't even require their cool tricks, seems to be a pretty lazy and old-school way of doing things.This also applies to using html attributes to apply styling instead of using a separate stylesheet. Also lazy and old-school, and pretty common in
table
layouts. Since they tend to be terrible as far as naming elements with[class]
or[id]
, the ability to specify a somewhat unique selector by using their attribute is a convenient bonus. We use:td[bgcolor="#E6E6E6"]
for which the actual "unique selector" would be:body > center > table:nth-child(3) > tbody > tr:nth-child(1) > td:nth-child(1)
Not only are these selectors unnecessarily intricate, but they're fragile because they rely on that specific, consistent order of elements, which can vary from page to page.
Here's a screenshot with tooltips demonstrating how to inspect:
Thank you to everyone for your considered and thoughtful help, and I want you to know that I personally appreciate it. I am grateful for all the time you did spend giving this answer, and it was honestly very informative. I eventually did have the common sense that I could google specific coding verbatim and get an answer, though, so I'm sorry for again for the faux pas.
Anagrammar, I seriously love the tooltips and the explanation that goes along with them.
I've fiddled around with this a whole bunch and I've realized I should just take a intro course or get a proper tutor because I do want to have a half-hour discussion about this stuff. So, again, thank you. I realize all y'all are here for a quick round of helping others and not being an on-call IT department. Thanks for all this and for bearing with me on top of it.
Best Wishes,
Alex Carmer.
I think you can understand that I often answer short because I never know what knowledge the questioner has and if there is a will to learn or if it's just a 13 year old asking "what that specific condensator in his phone does".
Everythings cool for me :)
