Hey, whilst it is obvious how to change the background colour for the category and item images, what is not so obvious is how I can just show the thumbnail for those items and not show the background tile through at all. Could some kind soul give me a pointer as how to accomplish this??? Thanks!!

If you empty the background color field and save the options of your menu/module, the background should become transparent.

One more thing, sorry - whilst I've successfully applied what we've discussed already to categories, i find that actual product's thumbnails still have a white box surrounding the item - where are these options for actual products div background?

Also, is it possible to create a default setting like i have found for categories in the options?

thankyou!

The default settings for products and categories are the same, in the tab Display of the configuration.
For your products, you should edit the hikashop options of the associated module of your menu.

Yes. The main menu color takes over when you don't specify a color for an associated module. If you remove the color of the main menu you should not have any color for the modules where you removed the color.

Note that it's always possible to override the background color in CSS... With the CSS below you can remove all the backgrounds everywhere on the front end of HikaShop:
div.hikashop_subcontainer {
background-color: transparent !important;
}

Yes, the CSS would solve the problem and never display the background anymore on any listing.

You can put it in your template's CSS.

done that - yay.

I also managed to remove the border from the subcategories by changing the border value to this:

div.hikashop_products div.hikashop_subcontainer{
border: 0px solid;
}

in /media/com_hikashop/css/frontend_default.css

Hi i am recieving the same issue in the category thumbnail after upgrading to your latest version, the category thumbnails show a white background earlier they were appearing transparent now they are appearing with the white background, i added the css code it made the inner container transparent instead of thumbnail pic., please find attached the screenshot of the page.
Where as in Products listing the products appear fine. Can you please tell if i have to switch off some setting.

Hi,

In you case the problem is the generated thumbnail. Thanks to change the settings of thumbnail generation in Configuration > Main > Images.
