One color over whole page

[purplemagpie]

How do you get one color over an entire page? Is it a simple project, or is it done one widget and one thing at a time?

See this example http://www.studiopress.com/showcase/juniper-wood

I want to make pages that don't have all the white behind all the sections and widgets like most WP sites seem to.

Thanks!

Maggie: If you start with a theme that looks like that, it should be a relatively easily thing to accomplish. Otherwise, it will depend on the theme you are starting with.

For example, Scribble and Quarttro both have a similar look.

Susan,

Thanks for the FAST answer.

So, if I get Scribble or Quarttro, will it tell me how to make it whatever color I want (such as a woodsy or oceany sort of a color?).

Once I get the themes how would I go about changiing them? Is it a simple Pick A Color sort of thing?

Susan,

I just checked out the two demos. Even with the color options, they both still have just sort of a greyish blue sort of pale main section.

Can you refer me to something that tells me how to make that main section into some rich color?

Maggie: It's not just a simple theme color switch, but for example - in the Quattro theme, the background to the content area is a 120px x 120px image, called "wrap.png" - you would replace that image with a similar image in the color of your choice, you could change the whole look of the site with just that one switch.

I hope that helps!

Susan,

It sounds good, anyway.

I will work on it later and get back to you. I've been up all night futzing with this, so I will do wrap.png later with a fresh mind.

Thanks so much.

Susan,

Just getting back to you to let you know your advice on changing the wrap worked. It took lots of samples, but we found one that worked and also the Quattro Theme worked really well.

Here is the link to the site so you can see it.

Thanks again,
