    • Mike if you just want to change the Offline graphic, simply open the Offline page in your browser and determine the image path and then simply replace the image with one that you create.

      I hope that makes sense Mike.

    • Hey guys. I'm familiar with editing the offline.css for little things like the image and the colors and padding INSIDE of the box. But I can't figure out what to change or if I add code to change the outer background color to something like black or blue. Anyone know how? See attached image for clarity.

      Thanks!

    • Add this line in offline.css (in templates/system/css):

      body {
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
      font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif;
      font-size: 78%;
      color: #333333;
      text-align: center;
      background-color: #000;
      }

    • You may also want to edit /templates/system/offline.php (That is what i had to do to get 2 languages to fit nicely into the box)
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

    • Thanks Yves! It worked perfectly. What was funny was that I made the edit and kept on uploading the file to the system folder and wondering why it was not working, duh! It goes in the CSS folder!! yay
