im sure this is a very amateur question…. but im not able to change the background color outside of the wrapper. i changed the value below but nothing has happened. i refreshed page a dozen or so times too. f7f7f7 i believe is the color code for the existing color, so im pretty sure this is the right line…

body#bd {
background: #f7f7f7;
color: #000;

any ideas??

It is the right line. Try “CTRL+F5” or reset your cache.

Hello,

There might be another css code that is getting attached to it.

try adding an !important to the code. So your code would look like :

body#bd {
background: #f7f7f7 !important;
color: #000;
}

Thanks mihir….. still not working though 🙁

i have more news though —- it DOES work when i activated a magazine menu item that was previously disabled, but ONLY on that menu item. if i click the other items it goes back to light grey.

bizarre!

is that a clue to something?

Hey,

Sure let me know when you are online, and reply to this forum as well as shoot an PM. The notification system is off, so the PM would be great.

oooh! i found something else! well, im also trying to get my dropdown menu items to show on the magazine menu….. i went into the template settings and selected moo menu instead of dropline —- and now the background is changed for all the items! hm!

BUT, since moo isnt the menu type i need, i cant us it. if i change it back to dropline, it returns to the same problem — where the color change is only attached to only one of the menu items….

Hi selmar

Please open templates/ja_teline_iii/css/template.css file, at about line 22, find following code section:

body#bd {
background: #f7f7f7;
color: #000;
}

and change to:

body#bd {
background: #f7f7f7 url(your image) repeart;
color: #000;
}
