Hi there! Thanks for posting in the forums, much easier to answer here than in 140 characters. ??
The background color of the theme can be changed by going to Appearance -> Background in your Dashboard (although the main content area will still retain a white background, for contrast).
To make more advanced adjustments, like font or image colors, or to remove the white background wrapper, you’ll need to use CSS in a child theme or a CSS plugin (like Jetpack). I also recommend using a browser plugin like Firebug for CSS work. With Firebug, you can right-click to “Inspect” certain areas of your site to see exactly what CSS rules apply to the targeted area.
You’d want to modify the color
and/or background-color
CSS properties of different areas in the theme. With Spun, you may also need to adjust some opacity
or filter
properties, since this is what gives the theme a grayed-out effect.
While we don’t offer CSS support in this forum, the above links have many resources for getting started. I hope this helps!
