Hello all,

I am trying to use Panels to create my front page, but need to edit the front page so that I can display background boxes (without round corners) with the regions. Is there any way to do this?

I apologize if I am not being descriptive enough. I will try my hardest to best explain my situation.

Thanks in advance

Set up your panels (with mini-panels in them if you like). You can give them all classes and ids in the panels interface.
Then get the firebug extension for Firefox and use it to identify the css for your panel display.
Then add some css to your theme that overrides the panel's default css. It is complex as there is a lot going on there, but it is very doable.

I am trying to do the same thing ie. create a new front page using panels and wish to edit the css in panes but when I use Firebug to identify the css file I get this kind of thing:

735e66b2...e0f42.css (line 1

I can find these files but I'm a bit confused as to why the original css file is not used or where do these files come from anyway? Is there a module that creates these css files? Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this.

Hi warrunner,

I also stumbled over this stone ;-) Solution. While working on the theme (css, ...) Just turn off all caching, worked for me.

Thanks hape. You are a genius! I never would have found that...disabled css cache and the bad files went away.

I'm confused. I can edit a css property in firebug to preview it.
I go to a css file for a block that is in panels, change the css for
a ddblock in drupal 6.2 for instance and nothing. I tried flushing
caches and everything. I'm simply trying to change a font size.
The css in correctly installed in the ddblock folder. Does panels
override the css? Is there artifical intelligence routines from the
pentagon predicting what files I'm working on?
