Sense theme: I am wondering if anyone would know how to change the multicolumn secondary...

talsworld · ‎06-24-2025

The multicolumn section has an option to use a secondary column background colour for each little block, but I was hoping to change that colour of that for EACH block to help make the site more colourful. Any ideas? Site is coldpow.com and an example would be on the homepage, under HOW TO POW... you'll notice 4 little blocks in a light grey, which is fine, but below there is a section MEET THE SQUAD, and ideally I'd like to be able to change the background of those light grey areas, but a different colour for EACH one.

Okay so there's two ways to do this, one if you want this only for the home page we can do this with just css which is more static way.

The other way is to include a setting of adding a color to each block with liquid setting and then populate that with the background color with css which is more dynamic. This gives you more power, whenever you add multicolumn section you can choose to have different colors for each blocks

I see. I think the second option then.

Have you like added or modified any code yet on your theme specifically for the multicolumn section, may be you or by someone?

Hey assuming you haven't made any changes here is the multicolumn.liquid code. This now has a color setting to choose inside ach column.

Can easily do it using "Custom CSS" setting of this section:

.multicolumn-list__item:nth-child(1) .multicolumn-card {
  --color-background: 255 0 0 / 0.6;
}
.multicolumn-list__item:nth-child(2) .multicolumn-card {
  --color-background: 0 255 0;
}
.multicolumn-list__item:nth-child(3) .multicolumn-card {
  --color-background: 0 0 255 / 0.5;
}

nth-child(*) targets respective block and --color-background value must be suitable for rgb() CSS function.

Obviously, can add more similar rules if more blocks.

Does not require any code modification and they will make your future theme updates complex.
