Changing background color

One quick question How do you change the background colour that is outside of your page templates ie. as is the outer colour red to the left and right of the following web site http://www.gleniboutique.com/.

Re: changing template

In skin1.css

HTML Code:



HTML, BODY{

background: #a5070d url(images/mybg.gif) left top repeat-x;

}

TABLE.Container{

background-color: #fff;

}

if there is no need to attach image

HTML Code:



HTML, BODY{

background-color: #a5070d;

}

TABLE.Container{

background-color: #fff;

}

also there are two gradients by the table side
you may need to add two extra rows wrapping TD.Container in rectangle_top.tpl for them
(and not to forget to close them in rectangle_bottom.tpl)

Re: Changing background color

Gradient is an image. So you should search for "background" or "background-image" in your CSS.
If you have your skin modified there is possibly additional CSS included.

If you provide me an URL of your store the conersation would be more concrete.

Re: Changing background color

I think Victor is right. This is in your css file - it is after the initial styles defined for your body at the top:
BODY {
background-image:url(images/custom/bg.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
background-position:top;
background-color:#5a070d;
}

Re: Changing background color

Did you try this on version that is written in your signature or 4.2.0?
In what directory you uploaded image?

Re: Changing background color

Hi Victor -

I think the problem is that their css files defines style for the body three times and they may be updating the first one, then it gets overridden by third one.

You have lost me, I'm trying to get the Table container less wide, with that I succeed, but it also needs to be centered, no success with that, only left alignment. And I would like to get a background image showing. Attached you'll find my css, any help is appreciated, I'm lost ...

Re: Changing background color

Hi Warwick -
If you don't get a response - it might be better to post a link. It is much easier to look at the page with firebug and get to the exact css/html easily - rather than pouring through code (at least for me anyway).

Re: Changing background color

Good suggestion and very plausible :)

Meanwhile I did manage to get things working.
The left alignement is in one of the tpl files
I didn't manage to see a background image but this was solved when putting in a hard coded URL

Thanks for the help!
