Background Colour

[DeadlyDemon]

Hello
I was trying to change the theme of my SMF beta 5 forum. but i annot find where i have to change it from. I looked in style.css and changed the part that says :

Code Select Expand

body
{
background-color: white;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}code]

but the changes do not come up on my forum. so where do i change it from?

Do you modify default or classic theme?

im trying 2 modify the defult 1

Okay. Find in index.template.php :

Code Select Expand

// The main content should go here.  A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td style="background-color: #D4D4D4; padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';

...and change that "background-color"

That just changes the background color for the forum - ie, the color of everything not part of the forum. To change the colors of other things, you'll need to change titlebg (background color for title bars), catbg (background color for category bars), windowbg and windowbg 2 (alternating background colors for posts).

That just changes the background color for the forum

Well i thought that was what he wanted, because of this:

body
{
   background-color: white;
   margin: 0px;
   padding: 0px;
}code]

nope didnt work
i made a copy of the defult one so i do not messanything up. So would i set the colour from the index.template.php in theams/defult or of the one in /theams/test (the one i copied)

[DeadlyDemon]

i wanted to change the grey background that the defult one has that isnt really part of the forum

Then that my example should work. I tested that

Ok... Changing that thing in index.template.php for the theme you created should work fine then.
