    Hi all,

    I'm trying to customize the Sample Theme for Genesis 2.1.2. I want to change the color of the content box on the left from white to pale green. I tried to change the color in .content but that didn't work. I changed the color in the body tag, but it didn't change the content box color. I've never had this problem w/themes for Genesis 1.9.2, Can anyone please help? The website in question is dandgcleaningcville.com.

    Thanks in advance,

    ToniB

    go to line no 1088 and replace the current CSS with new code

    .content .entry {
        background-color: #d2e9cc;
    }

    If problem is solved then please mark it as RESOLVED

    Thank you

    Thanks!! That did the trick. So this applies even though this is a static home page and not the blog? I think the .entry class threw me off. Thanks again.
