The right block is an itemized list with the same title style as the middle block. We will modify the border-box div in site-colors.css.
div.itemized_sub_items { width: 100%; /* if you don't do that you will have the box stopping before the banner on the right */ } div.itemized_sub_items div.content-view-embed h2 { background-image: url(images/high_h2_bg.png); /* clear gray background and the rest is adjustments and fonts */ background-repeat: no-repeat; color: #FEE439; height: 22px; padding-top: 6px; padding-left: 25px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; }
This is the right block so far:

We now need to remove the border from the border-box div. Firebug shows that this border is built using 3 parts: top, middle and bottom:

Next, add the following code to site-colors.css to remove the background frame:
div.itemized_sub_items div.border-box div.border-tl, div.itemized_sub_items div.border-box div.border-tr, div.itemized_sub_items div.border-box div.border-tc, div.itemized_sub_items div.border-box div.border-ml, div.itemized_sub_items div.border-box div.border-mr, div.itemized_sub_items div.border-box div.border-bl, div.itemized_sub_items div.border-box div.border-br, div.itemized_sub_items div.border-box div.border-bc { background-image: none; } div.itemized_sub_items div.border-box div.border-mc { background: none; padding: 0; }
This is the result so far:
Right block without background frame
The list items and their links need to be customized in site-colors.css:
/* the #main needs to be used since the we work on global styles defined in the main div */ div#main div.itemized_sub_items div.content-view-embed ul li { background-image: url(images/itemized_li.png); /* the dashes under each listed element */ /*adjustments*/ background-position: bottom left; background-repeat: repeat-x; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.5em; } div.itemized_sub_items div.content-view-embed ul li a { background-image: url(images/itemized_a.png); /* we add the yellow arrow on the left side of each link */ text-decoration: none; /* we remove the underline of the links */ color: #686868; font-size: 11px; }
The new style for the right block is now ready:
