Can't change background color. Help!!

  • I have tried everything that I can, but I am unable to change the background color of my blog. I am using the Brownline theme, which is one of the free themes that can be downloaded from www.remarpro.com. I love the theme, but I hate the brown background color. I have tried everything that I know how to do to get rid of the brown background, but I have failed. Perhaps there is someone smarter than me who can figure out where the background color is hidden.

    I have already figured out that some of the background colors were actually images, rather than colors. That’s how I got the background of my actual posts to change. I simply created a new image to replace the original brown one. But the remaining brown background won’t go away. I just can’t seem to find where that code is hidden. I’m a novice, so someone with more experience may be able to find it right away.

    My site is steelerstoday.com. You’ll see that some of the background is black, but most of it is brown. I want to make ALL of it black. Can someone PLEASE help me? Where is the css or html that controls the color of the rest of the background? I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out, and the answer is probably right in front of me.

  • body {
    background: #332610 url(images/bg.jpg) repeat-x;
    color: #FFF;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
    margin: 0px auto 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    }

    in your style.css assigns a colour, and an image

    #332610 is the brown colour and the rest is the link to the image.

    The image is the part at the very top of the screen (right click, and save the image to your computer if you want to look at what part is image)

    so its a combination of image and colour. The image repeats across the entire top of the screen and then fades into the color downwards

    there are some styles left with a background-image:

    body, #header, .content_title, #searchbox {background-color: #000; background-image:none;}

    find them in style.css and remove/change the line with background:
    for instance the body style:

    body {
	background: #332610 url(images/bg.jpg) repeat-x;
	color: #FFF;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
	margin: 0px auto 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	}

    change to:

    body {
	background: #000;
	color: #FFF;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
	margin: 0px auto 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	}

    do the same with the other styles.

    also edit (‘photoshop’) the rss image from the header: images/rss.jpg to match the black background.
