    Hello, I would like to change the color on the background of the Crystal Theme. I tried some php code I found on a blog, but that didn't work. It would be nice to have an option in the customization menu. This is the code I tried to add to function.php that did not work.

    /** Add support for custom background */
    add_theme_support( 'custom-background' );

    Any help on getting some color options into this theme would be most appreciated. Thank you!

    To change the background color, you would simply modify the CSS. You would just need to add background-color: to the body css at line 17 in style.css.
