Greetings dudes,
In this tutorial we are going to learn how to style an announcement box to be prettier than it is. Default one is quite dull.
Go to: CP > General > Messages & Emails > Announcements and activate them. Select where you want to show them. Right bellow you have plus sign to add announcement. Click on it and you can give a name to it. Doesn't really matter because name is only for you. For content, you can tell users a message, something you want to be seen. After you finished all of this..
Go to: CP > Display > Pictures and colors > Colors & CSS > CSS Stylesheet and add this

/* ANNOUNCMENT BOX START */ #fa_ticker_block .module { background-color: #369fcf; border-radius: 0; box-shadow: none; border: 3px solid #fff; outline: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1); color:#fff; } /* ANNOUNCMENT BOX END */

/* ANNOUNCMENT BOX START */ .module { background-color: #369fcf; border-radius: 0; box-shadow: none; border: 3px solid #fff; outline: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1); color:#fff; padding:5px; font-size:12px; } /* ANNOUNCMENT BOX END */
Invision
/* ANNOUNCMENT BOX START */ .borderwrap{ border: 3px solid #fff !important; background-color: #369fcf; outline: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1); } .box-content { background-color: #369fcf; color: #fff; } /* ANNOUNCMENT BOX END */
Final result:
That's pretty much it. Have fun. :)
