This is a simple block of CSS that adds an extra flare of elegance to your Home Page Listings for Latest Activity, Blogs, Forums, Notes and Text Boxes when hovered.
The CSS will add an image background when someone hovers a listing or entry. You can replace the image below with your chosen image. You can also change the code from background:url to background-color:#e6e6e6, and change to color of your choice.
Edit attached code to suit your preferences, and add to Advanced CSS via:
My Network/Settings/Appearance
/** Add Hover Background Effect for Latest Activity, Blogs, Forums, Notes and Text Boxes - HOME PAGE **/
/* Forum Hover */
.xg_widget_main .module_forum div.vcard:hover {background:url('http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/gfx/table/bg_alt.png') repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;}
/* Latest Activity Hover */
.xg_widget_main .feed-story:hover {background:url('http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/gfx/table/bg_alt.png') repeat scroll 0 0!important;}
/* Blog Hover */
.xg_widget_main .module_blog .blogpost:hover {background:url('http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/gfx/table/bg_alt.png') repeat scroll 0 0 transparent!important;}
/* Notes Hover */
.xg_widget_main .module_notes .note:hover {background:url('http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/gfx/table/bg_alt.png') repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;}
/* Text Boxes Hover */
.xg_widget_main .module_text:hover {background:url('http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/gfx/table/bg_alt.png') repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;}
/** End Hover Effect **/
It appears that the Discussion boxes are messing up the image url. Use the attached file for code.
Enjoy!

#xg_themebody .feed-story-status:hover {background-color:#e6e6e6!important;}
Permalink Reply by Fire-Tech on January 23, 2012 at 10:03pm I'm using the same code here:
/* Latest Activity Hover */
.xg_widget_main .feed-story:hover {background:url('http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/gfx/table/bg_alt.png') repeat scroll 0 0!important;}
..and then the exact code for New Design Studio - Blue Push Pin:
(didn't realize it was a VIP code on previous post here, so I deleted it)
The additional code works great! Thanks a bunch! :)

Best,

/* Hovered Background for Main Page Leaderboard */
.xg_widget_main .mini-leaderboard-module tr: hover {background:url('YOUR IMAGE PATH HERE') repeat scroll 0 0 transparent!important;}
