Change Margin Colour

[drewactual]

if you're using the curve theme such as here, go to your CSS file and:

find:

Code Select Expand


body
{
background: #E9EEF2 url(../images/theme/backdrop.png) repeat-x;
font: 78%/130% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px 0;
}


replace with:

Code Select Expand


body
{
background: red; /*#E9EEF2 url(../images/theme/backdrop.png) repeat-x;*/
font: 78%/130% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px 0;
}


if you want to change it back, remove the "red;" and both sets of /* (opening commented out section) and */ (which closes a commented out section)- you're back to stock, then.

the original post instructing you to do this should have worked- I'm willing to bet your css is cached somewhere that didn't show you the live change... so... after you alter it as described in both posts, hold shift hit refresh to see the changes.

That is brilliant, thank you so much. The original post for some reason only changed a band at the top, now my whole background is red. You are a star.

Both are exactly the same thing. You probably edited something wrong.

Yeah, even the refresh doesnt make sense if there was a bar across the top... Gonna hafta write that one off to the "wth?" column, no?
