 * I created a child theme for the responsive-mobile theme as instructed in [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-child-theme-5?replies=2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-child-theme-5?replies=2)
 * I changed the background color of .front-page .content-area {} in the child theme’s
   style.css file to a dark gray, but noticed in the mobile version, the background
   color still remained blue.
 * I assume the mobile version is reading off of the parent theme’s /css/style.min.
   css file, so in the child theme folder, I also created /css/style.min.css and
   changed the background color to gray there as well, but it’s still coming up 
   blue.
 * Any ideas how to change the background color in the mobile version?

 * .front-page .content-area {
    background-color: black; }
 * What happens if you style it like that?

 * I think I got it figured out. I had been creating all the styles in style sheets
   and editing/uploading via FTP, but it seems as if they prefer you to just paste
   in your custom styles in the theme options instead of creating your own style
   sheets.
