    Ok, both WordPress and the theme itself have settings for “background color” but that only changes the overall background, the body, under where the posts are, doesn’t change. Where in the CSS is this coded so I can change it? I’ve looked and looked…..

  • I would like to know the answer to this too. I want to change the background color in the page/blog area, not the whole background or sidebars. I can’t find the code for this anywhere. I am pretty familiar with CSS and a little familiar with php (enough to tweak my themes usually), but this one has me stumped. Please help?

    Thanks!!

    I did figure it out for my theme (Raindrops), but whether it’ll help you….

    I had to change three settings to make it work all over, in style.css:

    h1,h2,h3,.h1,.h2,.h3{
    background-color:#1e1e1e!important
    }

    and

    #site-title{
    background-color:transparent!important;
    }

    and then in reset-fonts-grids.css (this was the main one, the ones in style.css were tweaks really):

    #yui-main,
    .yui-g .yui-u .yui-g{
    background-color:#1e1e1e!important;
    }

    But I have no idea how much that stays the same from theme to theme. (Note: the color codes shown are the ones I changed it too, and I added the “!important” to make sure that it overrode the original in my child them so I didn’t have to change the main one each time.)

    My suggestion would be to find the Firefox add-on called Firebug, its a wonderfull little tool that made it MUCH easier to find where I needed to change what to make it work.

    I use raindrops too, and that did it. Thank you!!! I had been able to make the changes in older versions of raindrops but hadn’t found where to do it in the latest update.

    Thanks muchly!
