    Hello all,

    I'd like to include light gray borders around certain areas of my Magazine Pro themed website. I'm trying to get it to look somewhat like the example below:

    Homepage

    I'd like a border around the body as well as certain areas within the body.

    1. What is the CSS code I need to add and where should I be looking in the Style sheet?

    2. If I add the borders will it affect the mobile (responsive) versions of my website?

    I really like the example theme above and I actually bought it but the problem is the theme has too many issues and I don't want to risk using it for my new authority site.

    I trust Studio Press far more but the Magazine Pro theme is just so plain looking for my new Tech site at http://techu4ria.com.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi there

    The dashed border in the example site is done with:
    border-top: 1px dashed #f1f1f1;

    So you'd need to add this wherever you felt necessary (such as in .entry-content {}). It wouldn't affect responsiveness if you just did border-top/border-bottom.

    It would depend which areas within the body you were trying to target as to how you'd go about that, but I suppose you could add something below an image, like this:

    .entry content img {
    border-bottom: 1px dashed #f1f1f1;
    }

    Thanks
    Dom
