Bulletproof: Sidebar Terminator-"Plugin"

Hi.

This is kind of a plugin-, but also kind of theme-related question, so I'll take "Themes".
I am looking for a plugin or patch to Bulletproof to get a "terminator" in sidebars that fills empty space with the colorscheme of the style, so that there is no white space underneath. That, combined with a neat "terminator"-picture to seperate real sidebar-content from just filled space - this would be great.
Now, how is it done :D? I have no idea :oops:

I mean the red area:

If I understand you correctly, all you need to do is set a background-color for the sidebar(s), a different background-color for sidebar items (both in either your user.css or your own colorset's stylesheet), and also set the theme option "Generate equal heights columns using javascript" to "Yes".

You set me thinking :).
Changed this in blue_style.css, activated "Generate equal heights columns using javascript" and it works.

Code: Select all

.serendipitySideBarFooter {
    border-left: 4px solid #dfdfdf;
    background-color: #efefef;
}
Thanks :).

You most definitely want to put that (along with any other changes you may have made to blue_style.css) into a new file user.css and activate the theme option to use that file. Otherwise, your changes will be overwritten in the next BP/s9y update.
