LibGuides automatically places a gray background color on any content added. On some monitors this background appears very light, and on other monitors, the gray is much darker. It is possible to remove the gray background from Rich Text/HTML boxes. To do so:

  • In the Rich Text/HTML editor, click on source, and paste the following code as the first line of code: <div style="background:#FFFFFF;padding:5px 10px;">
  • Paste the following code as the last line of code: </div>

In the edit version of your LibGuide, you will still notice a think gray line around the box, but in the live mode and preview mode, there will be no gray.
