I would like to be able to change the background color of my sidebar from grey to black but I’m not sure exactly how I’m supposed to do this one. I tried looking for it in the style.css and didn’t find anything and in the theme’s folder there wasn’t a picture with that color if it was just an overlapping picture that created the sidebar’s background. Anyone got ideas ?

the background is in an graphic image – http://triplecz.com/wp-content/themes/barchetta-mag/images/page.gif (895x1px).
that image is background for #page in the style.css of your theme:
```
#page {

	margin: 0px auto 0 auto;

	width: 895px;

	background: url("images/page.gif") repeat-y;

}
```
you can either replace the line ‘background: url(“images/page.gif”) repeat-y;’
with ‘background: #000;’ to achieve a flat black background,
or change the graphic image to a solid black line, and load it up again, without changing the style.css.

Hey alchymyth, I did what you said with the #000 and it worked but as I was curious I wanted to just change the gray shade just to see. I changed it to #202020 and this is what happened, I got no idea why;

Do you know how I can only make it affect the sidebar ?
