You can then follow the step you use to change the body color to change your links * [rdellconsulting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdellconsulting/) * (@rdellconsulting) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-colour-9/#post-4002605) * [@hyldahl82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hyldahl82/), remember that the circles are meant to have a 270 x 250 Featured Image behind them. * I achieved what you asked by editing that Image using Photoshop Elements. * Then the links can be changed with: * ``` .widget-front h2 { color:red; } ``` * changing red to what you want. * Thread Starter [hyldahl82](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hyldahl82/) * (@hyldahl82) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-colour-9/#post-4002607) * Just so that we’re talking about the same thing. * [It’s this background colour](http://ht-innovation.com/delete1.PNG) * It has the same #FAFAFA colour as the standard background colour * [rdellconsulting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdellconsulting/) * (@rdellconsulting) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-colour-9/#post-4002612) * That’s the same I’m talking about. * The CSS is: * ``` .round-div { border: 104px solid #E0FFC1; } ``` * Change #E0FFC1 to what you want. * [NightmareSystem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nightmaresystem/) * (@nightmaresystem) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-colour-9/#post-4002621) * hellow again, I tried this code * > body { > background: url(‘wp-content/uploads/2013/08/fondo.png’) repeat fixed > 0 0 #FAFAFA !important ; color: #5A5A5A; padding-bottom: 0; } * but do not work , the background is the same and the img doesn’t appears * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-colour-9/#post-4002622) * For everyone who’s having an issue apart from hyldahl82 please [create your own threads](http://wordpress.org/support/theme/customizr#postform) to discuss your own issues. * The solution was already given to hyldahl82 regarding the background.

The background yes, but the background behind the circles is still the same… * I’ve posted both codes and this is also the way I’ve added them in the custom css box …could something be wrong there maybe? * [ElectricFeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/electricfeet/) * (@electricfeet) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/background-colour-9/#post-4002696) * Unfortunately, it won’t work in Custom CSS, because the quote characters are forbidden in there. You will need to make a [child theme](https://managewp.com/how-to-create-a-child-theme)( don’t worry, it’s easy).
