    List and alternate list color when using bootstrap

    Hi there

    I am happy with my store (http://jocool.ca) and ready to go but would prefer it if I could update the checkout colors.

    The store being in black is great but during checkout the list of items in the cart is black with the alternate list being white.

    Looks terrible. Hard to follow..

    I tried changing the colors using the misc. store colors but it appears that once you use Bootstrap those no longer take hold. So how can I make the checkout experience a little less stark? Where can I change those?

    Any help is so appreciated :)

    You should be controlling your colors using CSS.

      You'll want to modify this style:

      table-striped>tbody>tr:nth-child(even)>td, .table-striped>tbody>tr:nth-child(even)>th {
      background-color: "insert whatever color";


      FYI: You might consider a base font with a wider stroke like Lato or Open Sans, perhaps even running Open Sans with a 600 weight. The light (whitish) text on black is pretty hard to read, especially on mobile.

        Hi there

        Will do on the css. Much appreciated.

        Thank you for the subjective part, I'm ecstatic with the amount of orders coming in and have no intention of looking to mobile with this site.

          No problem Patricia...but one note from someone who's been doing this for +20 years...unless you are getting 100% conversion, there is always room for improvement :)

            Thanks Bruce, much appreciated.

            Yes. Been here since the WWW part of the net was born in 1999. My tiny little company (http://Domain.ca) was founded then and is now Canada's 4th largest Certified Domain Registry and Hosting ISP. Just one of my several wee bits of success to base my choices on. ;)

            In all seriousness.. subjective elements are just that. All I needed was a fix for my one item. I really appreciate the added opinion but again, VERY happy with the results I have.
