Sorry, I thought your question was to give you an idea of how to make the white bar not show up when nothing is in it. My mistake, apparently.

There are 2 ways to make the background disappear completely, fairly easily:

1. don't modify but delete the k2 css line that was previously mentioned. The modification already mentioned would make it look like it's disappearing when empty and reappear when there's something in it, but you're not wanting that, I take it?

or

2. delete that section in your original template php.

Slightly harder is to write a new javascript that would make it disappear/reappear.

If your question is: "will the bar that is currently showing up as white completely collapse when nothing is in it and reappear when something is in it?" the answer is no. Not without writing additional javascript, due to the way the css is written. If you want the white bar to not show up when nothing is in it, that's already been answered.

Thanks very much, that answers my question. And, presents a couple of design possibilities, one of which should work.

Hi,

I added the following css rule to my template's css.

/* Added the following code to get rid of the K2's itemtoolbar hr */
div.itemToolbar
{padding:2px 0;margin:16px 0 0 0;background:#FFE7A8;
border-top:0px dotted #ccc;border-bottom:0px dotted;}

Of course, you will have to change the background color as per your requirement.

It works :)
