Align and change Group description container was created by Skowronski

Hi there!
I have a question group with two questions (see image).
I'd like to display the group description box differently (the one saying "Video Game 1").
It should
- align with the dark blue box (this is the group container)
- or at least be inside the group container.

Ideally, it should also be :
- in the same color as the border of the group container and
- be at the very top of the group container (no margin to the top),
but this is not absolutely necessary.

Have tried several things with the custom css sheet, but haven't found a solution.

Thank you for your help!
Marika

Hi, Marika,
how did you get this group box?
I could only reproduce by changing the theme:

Code:

.question-container {
    margin: 10px;
}
.group-outer-container {
    border: 1px solid red;
}

In all standard themes the group description is absolutely aligned with the question container.

Bootstrap:

And you can change the look and feel of the description by adding this to your custom.css. Of course you can extend with more styles.

Code:

.fruity .well {
    background-color: #00f5f5;
    border: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
    box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);
    color: maroon;
    font-size: 22pt;
}

BTW: I do not know why all people want to use this group description.
In my opinion it is a description of the group so that the developers - even if there are more - no why and what for it is.

Much better to use a question of type "text display" at the start of the group. Here you have much more option to style your text.

Hey Joffm,
thank you for your help!
I think most people use the group description because it seems as the most obvious thing to do. I did not even think of creating a text display question, but it solves all the problems. THANK you.

Concerning the way I got the group box: I only have the basic theme of our university, and I think it is vanilla-based, but I did not change the looks. So probably there is something wrong in the settings, which I will check. Thanks for the codes so far
