 * Love the Painter theme, but I want to change the “pebble” background (or is this
   the “breadcrumb” that I see in the code?) to another color, say, plain ole blue.
   How do I do this?

 * If you’re referring to this:
    [http://brewman.net/wp-content/themes/painter/img/bg/background.png](http://brewman.net/wp-content/themes/painter/img/bg/background.png)
 * Go to your stylesheet:
    [http://brewman.net/wp-content/themes/painter/css/style.css](http://brewman.net/wp-content/themes/painter/css/style.css)
 * Locate:
 *     ```
       html {
           font:normal 12px Arial, Helvetica;
           background:url(../img/bg/background.png) repeat !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * and change background.png to whatever you want 🙂

 * When I click on my stylesheet it says

 * That would be [http://brewman.net/wp-content/themes/painter/style.css](http://brewman.net/wp-content/themes/painter/style.css)
   the stylesheet is located in css/ folder:
 * [http://brewman.net/wp-content/themes/painter/css/style.css](http://brewman.net/wp-content/themes/painter/css/style.css)
   if you don’t have the FTP access, or don’t know how to access this, simply add:
 *     ```
       html {
           font:normal 12px Arial, Helvetica;
           background:url(../img/bg/background.png) repeat !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * to the above style.css you just showed me and change this to whatever you need.
   That will overwrite the other background property.

 * I have tried to plug this into my style.css and it doesn’t work. I also tried
   another code and that didn’t work either.
