Compare the two css’s – silver.css and #header; default.css and .wrap

hey kmessinger, unfortunately I don’t have the silver css with me so i can only see the bit of info displayed in the “inspect element” tool. that is all i can deal with right now ??

When you open the site that uses silver.css you can see all the css using developertools (IE) or firebug (FF).

I have seen and compare the files with the dev tool. that’s what i actually called “inspect element”. I even backed up my default.css, copied and pasted the main site css just to see how it would look but NO success :(. i get somewhere when i change the positioning of the header to fixed but it messes up the div#container and everything else when i do that.

#header {
background: #7A7A7A url(silver/header.jpg) repeat-x scroll center top;'

It’s not a color, it’s an image. You can save that image from :

Or i would just use css gradient of grey shades.

Once you define the css, you need to call it in your header.php otherwise of course it won’t work.

how would i do that shirazdrum? i already have the image. mine is under https://dev.webgrowth.biz/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/images/seo_header.jpg but it refuses to expand even with all the properties enabled like repeat, etc. maybe you can try it for yourself.
