The header background is defined by the image “images/header.jpg”. So you could replace that image with one of the same size.
Or, if you just want a solid color, try adding this to the end of style.css:
.art-header-jpeg { background: #5BCCD0 !important; }
For the footer, try adding this:
.art-footer .art-footer-inner { background: #5BCCD0; }
You should use a Child theme for your changes. If you do not, your changes will be lost if you update the theme.
Hi vtyzzzy,
Thank you very much for your reply! I added the two codes.The footer worked fully and the header code worked partially, expect for my home, f&q etc tabs. If you have another suggestion it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Toodles.
The site has changed so much that I can’t tell what you are trying to do.
Hi vtxyzz,
Thank you again for your reply! If you look closely on my blog http://www.yuminthecity.com you’ll notice that the thin tab that contains my my home, f&q etc tabs is a lighter gray. That’s the only area of the header that didn’t change. I would like it to be the same color as the rest of the background and widgets.
Thank you!

OK. Try adding this line with the others:
.art-nav, .art-nav .l, .art-nav .r { background: #1B1B18; }
It worked! Thank you so very much! I really appreciate your help! I couldn’t have done it without you!
I started another thread regarding customizing my comment section. I wondered if there was a way to have my post and comments in a speech bubble shape? I posted an example http://www.yuminthecity.com.
Thank you! 🙂
That can be done, but it is more difficult because not all posts (and comments) are the same size. You have to define top, bottom, and side images to wrap the content and then apply the correct CSS. Probably will take significant changes to the theme – more than can be done in this forum.
If it is really important, you might need to hire someone to do the job. You can post a job request at jobs.wordpress.net.
