Change bg color for the mobile version

Hi, it's about this page: https://www.ohvaz.ro/blog/budinca-de-chia-tot-ce-trebuie-sa-stii/ the mobile version. I wanna remove some of the padding so people can have an easier time reading it. Trouble is - I have this grey/pink background color. I'd like to remove it, BUT only for the mobile version and only for the blog. Not for the rest of the website. I'm a beginner. How can I achieve that with minimal changes? Thank you!

Have you heard of media queries? It should do the job

no, I'm not familiar with that @Tenkes

you should really look into it, it's base knowledge for making sites responsive (responsive means they look good on all, big and small, devices).

@media only screen and (max-width: 450px) {
element {
background-color: your chocie;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 450px) {

}
}

but make sure to look more into it, it's really base knowledge for making responsive websites. and you don't have to create separate files for other devices Kevin has few awesome videos on responsiveness

you need to specify element(s) you are targeting take one more look at this you need element you want to style instead of element
ChrisBarin
ChrisBarinβ€’2y ago
sure, but in my case, what would that be? it seems like .container isn't the right one it messes up a lot of things ooh I think it's body .site-content one moment..

can't tell since I can't see your html

ChrisBarinβ€’2y ago
yay, I managed! I typically have a hard time with very broad elements. specific ones are easy with inspector
