Lightword – changing site background (colour or image)

  • If you have a Lightword blog and have changed its site background to a different colour or image than its orignal classic black, I’m wondering how you modified it?

    I have not yet tweaked with the stylesheet (don’t want to risk mucking up everything), but will do so, if needs be, after hearing people’s experiences.

    Thanks in advance!

  • I changed the colour of my background by going to Appearance > Editor in the wordpress admin bit, then clicking on Stylesheet (style.css) from the list on the right.
    In that file, find the “/* BASIC */” heading, and it’s 3 lines down in there:

    body{background-color:#5B7B50;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:11px;}

    And just change that hex code. I haven’t tried it, but you might also be able to change the whole ‘background-color’ bit to an image, as you asked. I may get back to you on that one.
    Check out my blog to see Lightword in a different colour ??

    Thanks Kaburorne for the very clear explanation! I’ll try this out.

    If you do try out the background image thing, let me know.

    Has anyone managed to add a tiled background image to this theme?

    I got it to work, here’s the code I used:

    body{background:#2C2C29 url(images/file.jpg) repeat top left;font-family:Tahoma;font-size:11px;color:#2C2C29;}
