How do I change the background of SMF?

[Cybex]

How do I change the background of SMF? It's currently white, but I want it changed to another color. What file do I need to edit for this?

[Owdy]

style.css:

Code Select Expand


/* This is the white header area where the title, menu bars, and header boxes are. */
#headerarea
{
background-color: white;
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
}
/* This is the main area of the forum, the part that's gray. */
#bodyarea
{
background-color: #D4D4D4;
}
/* And this is the bottom, where the copyright is, etc. */
#footerarea
{
color: black;
background-color: white;
border-top: 1px solid gray;
}

Eh, the classic theme (the one I am using) doesn't have this in it's style.css. I have been searching for a similar option, but couldn't find it... Suggestions?

find:

Code Select Expand

/* By default (td, body..) use Verdana in black. */
body, td
{
color: #000000;
font-size: small;
font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
}


replace:

Code Select Expand



td
{
color: #000000;
font-size: small;
font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
}

body
{
color: #000000;
font-size: small;
font-family: verdana, sans-serif;
         background-color:red;
}




then, index.template:  find:

Code Select Expand

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" align="center" width="95%" class="tborder">
<tr><td valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">';


replace:

Code Select Expand

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" align="center" width="95%" class="tborder">
<tr><td valign="top">';

Im assuming this works for background images as well>?

[Kirby]

for background images, use:

Code Select Expand


background-image: url(insertimageurl);


instead of:

Code Select Expand


background-color:red;

this was pretty useful for me as well. I spent the better part of a day tryin to figure out how to change the background color. I was wondering if someone could help me out with the a few cells on the SMF classic forum. here's my site, http://telecrank.com/forum/index.php [nofollow] I want to change the blue cells to black. Can anyone help me?

I guess you already did it.

[telecrank]

lol, yeah... after I posted that I looked at the others and saw that you had already covered that. Stupid me for now reading the whole thing.

by the way, does anyone know how to get rid of the SMF banner at the top?

Ok, nevermind... I figured it out:)
