We're currently slowly and painfully reconstructing our store in 4.23. Now in the final stages and looking at the CSS.

I had the same problem with html,body in main.css - it doesn't reflect any changes on the screen background. The background URL does work in that tag, we have used:

html,body {
height: 100%;
background-color: #ffffff;
background: url(images/bg.gif) repeat;

and that does work, so I guess a workaround would be to create a small GIF in the colour of your choice.

The main body of the text however seems to be set to transparent, so we added the background color to this tag:

#page-container {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
background-color: #ffffff;

There must be an easier way to influence the display, but we need a guru to point the way. Anyone ??
