Background Color: How To Change??

**BBellPhoto** · 2 Jul 2007, 07:16 AM

Hi everyone,

Little by little, with mega help from so many of you, I'm slowly getting my cart re-organized and re-designed.

In the CLASSIC template, the screen's sides/background is pale blue. I want that to be black.

How and where can I change that? I finally got my logo up, btw, and am really pleased with the way it looks, but want to have the black in there to offset it better.

I'm still working on making my own buttons which will be gradient grays w/black lettering. Once those are done, I'll need to find their counterparts and upload over those.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Open your classic stylesheet.css file and find the following and change the red highlighted to #000000

Code:

body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5&#37;;
	color: #000000;
	background-color: #e5edf5;
	}

And you really need to make your own template before you get too much farther

Thanks, Kobra.

I've been working on the style of a new template, but I'm very new to css. I've got what I want it to look like in html. Here's the test page I'm working with:

So am stumbling about at the moment, trying to learn css. Would it be okay to copy & rename the classic green style and then work from there to cusomize it?

Thanks again.

Yes you can copy the classic and base it from there.

I looked at your html page and I suggest that you look at the tile_back.gif for the classic and change it to a tile for your silver bar and other things that you probably know.
