Doesn’t that theme have a repeating image as the background? Search your CSS for a background image maybe?
Trent
Thanks Trent.
Didn’t think of that initially. However, that was not it. There were 2 background=”image” in the file that I changed. The others were for search, comments, or footers. I did not test changing those.
Any other suggestions?
I don’t have it on this machine, but http://getfirebug.com is an extension for firefox that tells you specifically what CSS is used when you click on a part of a “live” website. Something to look into maybe!
Are you editing both CSS sheets referenced?
/themes/hemingway/style.css
/themes/hemingway/styles/white.css
As well, is the grey coming from a table or a CSS div?
Trent
its actually in a table. I’ve tried manually changing the bgcolor on the table to no success. Can it be looking at something else I’m not thinking of?
Thanks, I’ll try the utility you referred to.
Maybe?
table th, table td{ padding:0.3em 0.75em }
table th{
background:#aaa;
color:#000;
text-align:left;
}
table td{
background:#aaa;
color:#000000;
What color is #aaa ?
Trent
Thanks Trent:
This is about all the table code in there:
table{
width:100%;
border-spacing:0px;
margin:0em 0;
}
table th, table td{ padding:0.3em 0.75em }
table th{
background:#aaa;
color:#000;
text-align:left;
}
table td{
background:#aaa;
color:#000000;
}
When the #aaa is changed to #FFFFFF, (in both instances) nothing happens. Still a mystery. I’m installing that utility you pointed to now…
BTW – if you were literally asking what #aaa is, it’s a blue.
Trent: you are a god.
Thank you. Turns out that there was another css file that I was not seeing in my theme editor on the dashboard. white.css had to be edited through the website control panel, and it was there that the background color was being set. The utility that you mentioned is exactly what did it.
Thanks again!!!!
You are more than welcome….I guess I mentioned it above but didn’t look at it because I thought the #aaa was the problem! Glad to help out! 🙂
