Editing Colors of Kubrick Template

Go into the images directory inside the default theme, open kubrickbgcolor.jpg in photoshop or another program, change it to any color you like, then save it to the same directory.

I believe that’s just the body background color in your css:

change #d5d6d7 to whatever hex color you want.

Where is this “#d5d6d7” is located? Is it on the style sheet? Thank you
Bill

yea, style.css

Is this what I need to change
.alt {
background-color: #f8f8f8;
border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}

Thank you…. too many unfamiliar sections….SORRY

Bill

no, you should look for a #body { background: “#d5d6d7 }

Thank you. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I need to change the of the grey areas ( left, right, top and bottom, i.e Margins).

Again, thank you for your help.

Bainashe, the background is a JPEG image, you will have to edit it in Photoshop (or some other image editing app). Here is a convenient Photoshop template:

If he doesn’t want the grey image, why not just take it out? In the style.css file, look for #body { background: and whereever it mentions and image, just remove (or comment out) that line.

Then he’ll have no image. The grey margins he speaks of are part of the header image, the background image, and the footer image. If he unlinks those images, he gets rid of it all, not just the margins.

Hello,
Sorry to have caused so much confusion! Basically, what I am trying to make my entire blog look all white just like the blog body (background)! I know that doing that is against what the expertsa€? advice for better usability. However, the blog body available in Kubrick template is too narrow for taste and I have too large grey areas on both on the right and on the left. There is also small grey area on the top above the image. However, I could with that but I need to somehow get rid of the grey areas.

I thought I could just change the background colors as some have suggested. However, if there is an image involved it may be too much for me with me limited knowledge of WP.

Thank you for all your help. Greatly appreciated!

Bill

well, if you want just a white background an NO color, then just delete the files in your images folder under the default theme. Then you’d just need to go into your style.css file and look for all references of background: #color and change it to either #fff for white, or whatever color you want.

Bill,

The comments in the stylesheet say “css for images” is in the index.php file, but it’s in the header.php file. I wasn’t certain that I wouldn’t want to have a bkgrd at a certain point, so I just put comment/* */ tags around the code that invokes the background image and that switches it back to white. hope this helps.
