How do I make the side border change color?

  • I’ve customized the default theme, in some very modest ways, but I’m completely flummoxed by the final tweak that I want.

    I have successfully put in my own header artwork, and have changed the color of the narrow little border that shows on both sides of the header image.

    But I have not been able to change the color of the same narrow little border on either side of the page itself. It’s still grey, no matter what I try.

    How do I find the CSS to change the color of that little border?

  • #page {
    background-color: white;
    margin: 20px auto;
    padding: 0;
    width: 760px;
    border: 1px solid #959596;

    Yeah, I did fiddle around with that section, with little to show for it. Merely substituting my desired color for the existing one there did not result in any visible change.

    The way I fixed the border on either side of the header was some chain of changes having to do with width and background color. In the end, maybe my header image was laid on top of my desired background color, which then extended on both sides to become a colored border.

    I just haven’t figured out how to do the same to the page section. I don’t get how the above CSS says there’s a 1px border, when it’s clearly wider than 1 px.

    Without a link to your site, I’m not sure what border you’re talking about. It might actually be something created by a background image that you would need to replace to change the color.
