If you use a dark coloured template in your site the popup windows (print, send to friend, etc) requesting Elxis' index2.php file will also have dark background as they borrow they use the same CSS file. Most probably you will have dark colour characters too. This combination makes the popup windows look ugly and difficult to read. I will show you how you can easily have a different background especially for the popup pages.

Assume your main CSS file (layout.css) has the following declaration for the body tag.

body {
   background: #333 url(../images/someimage.png) repeat-x 0 0;
}

If you take a closer look at the popup window's HTML (requests to index2.php) you will notice that Elxis adds a class named contentpane in the body tag. We can use this tag to create a different style for the popup pages.

/* dark background for the body tag */
body {
   background: #333 url(../images/someimage.png) repeat-x 0 0;
}
/* make the body background colour to white for the pop up pages */
body.contentpane {
   background-image: none;
   background-color: #FFF;
}

That's it! Easy ah?
