Outreach Theme – Can you change black background?

[DarralynC]

Hi!  I want to change the black background between the gold and blue on my site.Here is a sample of what I am talking about...http://ccsmain.carmeleducationalfoundation.org/?page_id=53
I want to make it gold like the top background image.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,

what you need to do is open your style.css and change the following on line 468:

Find this code

#inner {
background: #000 url(images/inner.png) repeat-x;

and change the #000 to #DCB260

Hope this helps

Hi there,

I just tried this, but wanted to change the black #000 to grey #393939 and can't see any changes.

Is that blocky gradient an image that needs to be removed or replaced?

This is what my code for that element currently looks like:

#inner {
background: #393939 url(images/inner.png) repeat-x;
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 30px 0;
}

Here is the URL for the site I'm working on:

Any advice?

Hi,

Yes that background image would need to be either removed or replaced for a transparent version for your background color to show through.

Basically the background color #393939 is essentially a fallback if either the image does not load or the container is larger than the image.

If you want just a plain background #393939, just remove the url(images/inner.png) repeat-x; from your style.css file.

Hope this helps
Stewart
