    I'm working on a new site with the Metro Pro theme. I am wanting to change the body/content area from the white background color to black. Is there an easy way to do this?

    Thanks,
    Julie for TurnLane

    Susan,

    I did not get a resolution to my issue, but we decided to not change the background color.

    If you have a quick solution, I would love to hear it. If not, I guess you can close the thread.

    You can change the backgroun by looking for this in your style sheet:

    .site-container {
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
        margin: 3.2rem auto;
        max-width: 1140px;
        overflow: hidden;
        padding: 3.6rem;
    }

    Change the background color to #000000.


    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.
