I’d like to change the body section background color of only 1 page from white to black.

I want to insert an image gallery and would like the entire body section to be black. What’s the best way to go about this?

Everything else like menu and headers and page background stays as is.

Thanks for the help!
Great work with the templates!

I would have created a duplicate of the template and changed the background for the template and then assign the link to that new template folder. 🙂

I tried that and got the new template copy installed. I’m just having trouble getting the background from white to black.

Did you change the “body” in the template_css.css from FFFFFF to 000000 ???

Yes tried that it and would turn the background black. I’m stuck!

You can look for this:

table.contentpaneopen, table.contentpane, table.blog
width:100%;
}

replace with

table.contentpaneopen, table.contentpane, table.blog
width:100%;
background:#000000 none repeat scroll 0%;
}

I finally figured it out!
When assigning the modified template to the new page I also needed to edit the index.php page. Once I made this change it worked!

from: $ja_template_name = ‘ja_wistery_artistic’;
to: $ja_template_name = ‘ja_wistery_artistic_blk’;

It was still pointing to the 1st template, once I pointed it to the modified template it worked great!
