www.django-cms.org css mistake

[Aaron Maupin]

I couldn't find an email address to contact about this, so am posting it here.

The www.django-cms.org site doesn't set an explicit background color for the body element, so therefor browsers render the page background color as whatever the user has defined as their default background color.  I use light blue, for example.  The problem is that the page is clearly designed to use white as a background color.

Of course many users won't have changed their web browser's default setting (which is usually white) but those that have won't see the intended design.  Quite a few sites on the web have this problem.  (I've even seen this mistake on the homepages of web design companies, which is a nice way of letting me know immediately that I should trust my design work to another firm.)

Anyway, to fix this problem just add the following line to the CSS file:

body {background-color:#FFF}

Haha nice one! Thanks for the hint... gotta check all my customers' sites now, too ;)

its actually not a mistake than rather a feature of the browser. But for CI/CD reasons we set the default background to #fff.

thanks for the hint! Fixed for -cms and -shop

Looks good! Thanks!

Sure it's a mistake. ;P CSS standards define the initial background
color as transparent, not white. So when you don't set one you see
through to whatever the browser's base background color is. It's just
that only those of us who read a lot of text files change the default
background color to something other than white...
