    I try with every variable… ( And logically there isn’t much to choose from ) But none of them changes the background color. Anyone has any idea?

    I am not familiar with that theme but if it’s based on Kubrick the background probably is an image. You’ll have to change that image’s color ??

    Yep, it’s based off Kubrick. There is a bg image that you would have to recolor and in the style.php file under body, you can change the background color from #AAAAAA to the color of your choice.

    Yes i try both and not work. That is why i asked here.

    The bg.jpg is the background colour of the main entry. ( The bottom bit under post. )

    @ Chimommy, i think you mean Style.css? Becoz there is only 2 variable that uses #AAAAAA, which is a Horizontal line under every post. And the part under body is alreay using #FFFFFF….

    I am running out of idea……. may be i missed something so simple…….. that i didn’t thought of?

    What do you mean you’ve tried both? Did you modify the image in an image editor to another color and it didn’t work? (you cannot modify the color of an image from css…)

    I have tried uploading a New colour variant of the bg.jpg .
    That is why i knew the bg.jpg picture is only used at the bottom and edge side of the main entry. But not the whole blogs background colour.

    That’s a screwed up theme ??
    In the stylesheet on line 75 you have this:
    #page {
    background-color: white;
    border: 1px solid #959596;
    text-align: left;
    width: 750px;
    }

    and then on line 274 again:
    #page {
    background-color: white;
    margin: 0px auto;
    padding: 0px;
    width: 750px;
    border: 0;
    }

    You have to change BOTH “white”… or put all that stuff in one declaration.

    OK… please dont hit me…….. but they were both default to white….. And i.e that doesn’t work………

    Yes, email me (my name > contact)

    But it’s always good to clear the cache, too.

    Open image in editor of your choice, change Kubrick background to colour of your choice. Upload and refresha nd it’s done. I just did it this afternoon with https://www.southbourneinternet.co.uk/

    It’s in your header.php file:

    <body style="background: url(<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/blue_flower/bg.jpg) repeat-y top center #AAAAAA fixed;">
