    Hi there,
    With the update to 4.x I’ve decided to redo my website in a staging area to take advantage of all the shiny new options, and clear out the now unnecessary style changes I’ve implemented over the years ??

    I’m just getting underway and notice the container area has no background colour.
    Setting the background colour or background image in customizer, effect the entire page.
    Is there supposed to be an option for the container colour?

    I’m not sure if this is something I added with custom css or if I’m missing an option somewhere.

    Thanks for your help!

    Also is there a way to give the woocommerce product details and sidebars a background colour?
    It seems the previous ‘#wrapper’ that contained the product details and sidebar is no longer a thing… leaving the widgets to float around.

    Thanks again!

    Hi,

    We have the plan to release the feature “Background Color or Background Image for the entire page” in the next release. We will update you once this feature is released in Responsive Theme.

    The option to change the background-color for site and post exists in Responsive Theme.

    Thanks,

    Hi there,

    I have a related question: when I choose a ‘boxed’ page layout, and give my container a background color, I get a white border around my container area. I want this ‘box’ to have the same color as my container. How can I do that? Can you perhaps suggest extra css to add if it is not possible in the customizer?

    Alternatively, when I don’t choose the boxed layout, my container remains the same size, which is narrower than the header width. In that case, I don’t have the white edge around my container, but header and container don’t have the same with which doesn’t look nice.
    Any solutions for that?

    Thanks!

    Hi @stijnen,
    I’m not seeing a border around the container on my website (Comic Book Shop), if you have a link to your site I’ll be happy to take a look and see if I can work out some css that might help ??

    Kind regards,

    Hi @japenz
    THanks for responding! If you’d have a look at wordpress.steindergarde.nl you’ll see what I mean. THe landing page will show you that the header (picture+menu) is wider than the ‘page’ that is below it. Subsequently, when you click for example ‘media’ in the menubar, a page (without content yet) will open in which the header remains the same and the page/container below has a white border with a yellow-ish container background. The white border has the same width as the header.
    What I’d like to have is that the white border has the same background color as the yellow-ish container background, OR that the container itself is just as wide as the header image so that the white border is not visible.
    I can get rid of the border, by choosing ‘standard’ layout instead of ‘boxed’ via the customizer menu, but that doesn’t change the width of the container and it will therefore remain narrower than the header image.

    ANy help would be great!
    Thanks,
    Marco.

    Hi @stijnen,
    It seems it’s actually the padding around the content that’s white, rather than an actual border.

    I’ve tried the following to change it’s colour:

    .page div#primary, .post-entry {
        background-color: #ffffc3;
    }

    Try this, you may need to add ‘!important’ if it doesn’t work initially:

    .page div#primary, .post-entry {
        background-color: #ffffc3 !important;
    }

    It’s possible you may be able to resolve the issue with the padding options in customizer.

    This will add the background colour on the homepage aswell:

    #content-full, .page div#primary, .post-entry {
        background-color: #ffffc3;
    }

    Hope this helps!

    Kind regards,
    JP
