Change back ground colour

[Andy-C27]

Hi Again (since I'm on a winning roll )

I have a 12 leaves template Robbo Red and am looking into changing the background colour.
I have tried a few things with out success as it should be a easy process of just changing the stylesheet file but they seem to have a lot of images controlling the outer boarder .... I am thinking of changing it to a subtle light blue or single colour

Here is a bit of code I think matters

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.75em;
color: #525151;
line-height: 1.35em;
text-align: center;
}
.body-wrapper {
background: url("../images/body_bg.gif") repeat;
min-width: 990px;
}
.body-bg {
background: url("../images/body_bg.png") repeat center top;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 990px;
height: 1%;
}
#header_bg {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
.body-upper-bg {
padding: 4.667em 0 0 0;
height: 1%;
}
.body-bottom-bg {
height: 1%;
background: url("../images/spacer.gif") repeat-x center bottom;
padding: 0 0 6.5em 0;
}
.center-upper-bg {
background: url("../images/center_up_bg.png") no-repeat center bottom;
height: 15px;
}
.centered-wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 990px;
}
a img {border: none; }

Thanks again

Please respond to the posting tips. Especially the one about an address to your site.

All the code you have presented means nothing is something is written after it.

Hi OK thought that would be enough
but it's pewterworld .co .uk
V 1.5.1

You can do a lot of "playing" if you get the firebug add-on for Firefox and use it to view what you need to fix.

I'm assuming that what you are wanting to do is change the background OUTSIDE the area of the cart which is the div class body-wrapper.

It currently is

.body-wrapper {
background: URL ("../images/body_bg.gif") repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
min-width: 990px;
}

Try changing it to

.body-wrapper {
background-color: #8FD8D8;
min-width: 990px;

Adjust accordingly.

BTW: min-width does nothing in this stylesheet. Don't know why it would be used.

Not the first time I have been told that seems to be a lot of un-needed bits lying around ... Thanks though ,will have a play this evening

HI ,had a qhick change to the code you gave ,unfortunately it crashed the site ..will have another go this evening though

dbltoe's style code could not crash a site, so it must have been some error you made. I note that the closing } is left off of his revised background snippet, and if you removed the } following the rule you could cause some styling confusion and possibly unsightly mess, depending on what other rules come next.

You right I must have left it off ..
Also when I say break I meant it put everything all over the place ...But it seems OK now .. Just need to play with colours now

SO thanks again
