    Default Change Main Background Color

    Hello all,

    Hopefully someone can help me with changing the background color in my store. I figured out how to change most of the rest, just can't figure out the background...

    My store is at www.mylifegear.com/store

    The color I am referring to is the Gray area within the page. I want to change this to white instead.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you speaking of the gray that comes up briefly behind the "New Products for March? If so...
    Look around line 548 of your stylesheet in the black directory. You will need to comment out the
    background-color: #ABBBD3;
    to
    /*background-color: #ABBBD3;*/
    I can't believe the guy that put that template together left both the color AND image calls in there!


    Same thing at line 253, 328, and 675

    Thanks for your response, I figured it out through trial and error. I had to edit the CSS file and change from CCCCCC to FFFFFF on a bunch of the tags. It's all good now. What did you mean about the color and image calls being in there?

    Thanks

    At each of the instances I mentioned, there is a background-color AND a Background-image call. With a slow connection, one would see the gray come up until the black background gif loaded.

    Also, in areas like the navCatTabsWrapper, you would have wanted to comment out the background-color: #CCCCCC on line 262 or there abouts. You already have the white as the background color for the mainWrapper.
