My last tutorial was a little long. So this one will be short!

Steps in simple:
ACP > Templates & Style > Themes > Add code > Templates > Add code
Easy in theory? Yes. Good..
OK now here is the long steps....

ACP > Templates & Style > Themes
Now choose the theme you are currently using.
Click "options"
Then "edit theme"
Now click on "showthread.css"
Add this to the VERY bottom of that:

.usergroup4 {
	color: white;
	background-color: red;
	background-image: none;
}

Let's review this code before we move on, so that way it makes sense.

".usergroup4" That little 4 number is the GID, that be found very easily, but I will not explain that.
Change that number, to the GID of the group you want to color.
Don't mind the "color: white;"

The "background-color: red;" is the color of the post background. This can be used like "red" or HEX codes such as "#FF0000"

The "background-image: none;" is the URL of a background image you want to use.

Now lets move to the next step:
Go to templates > Choose the theme you choose before
Click "Options"
Click "Expand Templates"
Now here is where it gets confusing.
There should be a big list of words.
Find the one that says "Post bit templates" easily by hitting
"CTRL+F" and typing "Post bit templates"
Now click on "Post bit"
Click on the first link called "Postbit"
Replace the current code with this:

{$ignore_bit}
<a name="pid{$post['pid']}" id="pid{$post['pid']}"></a>
<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder" style="{$post_extra_style} {$post_visibility}" id="post_{$post['pid']}">
     <tbody>
         <tr>
             <td class="tcat">

         </tr>

                     </tr>

I hope this helps you, and I will help you with any problems you have (hopefully)

NOTE!!!!!! I DID NOT CREATE THIS CODE!!! ALL CREDIT GOES TO LEEFISH, THE ONLY THING I DID WAS ADVERTISE IT!!!!

By the way: forget the short.

Looks curious

It is quite short

Thank you for the credit.

any screen what is it and how does it look?
