Background Color

[yo1dog]

I am trying to change the background color for a theme I got. I have tried adding in the body tag but it has no effect.
Site is: http://www.maverickaward.com/
Here is the sytlesheet.css:

Yo,
Post me a link to the site please, or PM me the url

What page is the theme on??

[yo1dog]

http://www.maverickaward.com/

[haredo]

Yo,
you mean the home page?
what color would you like??

[yo1dog]

I mean for any page the side areas around the content. Any color but white.

[dbltoe]

You could change the indexBody background color in the tm stylesheet.

However, as is often the case with TM, that will give some interesting results and cause more work for you as the divs in the header are not currently aligned to make this work for you.

Curious as to how the lone colon (:) got in the header.

[yo1dog]

Thanks, that worked.

[haredo]

Yo,
Nice work, excellent choice of colors..
template monster is a bear to work with but is fun to play with

1. YOu still have the colons up in the header
2. find this:
3. .col3 {float:right;
   width:auto;
   }
4. replace with this:
5. .col3 {float:right;
   width:auto;
   display:none;}
6. Make sure it does not mess up the rest of the site
7. Or find this in the hard coded .php file and remove them

[haredo]

Yo,
Also look at this:

Notice on the product page.

1. On the Attribute: Sleeve Type
2. you have not made a please select
3. when they fill out all of the rest of the Attributes
4. a customer will automatically have the vinyl in their cart instead of picking either leather or vinyl

I found the hard code easily. Simply searched for ":<".

As far as the auto-selecting Vinyl, I believe that this is what is wanted because it does not add the extra 50, but I will ask. Thanks for noticing.

Edit:
Where would I go to edit this?
