Where are you changing it at?
style.css line 496
#branding #access, #colophon #access-footer {
background: linear-gradient(#CD2626, #3D3D3D) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0 auto 2px;
width: 100%;
}
Change the background rule.
The theme has three options for colors (light, dark and blue). I think that light is the default color. I was making the changes on top of the blue and I think that’s why I couldn’t see the changes on the actual site.
After I read your reply, I went back to theme options, chose light and then changed the css style. Now it works!
That’s the only explanation that I have…
Thanks for your help!
By the way…I’m just a beginner…still learning!!!! 🙂
