# Stylesheet being overridden

 * Hi, I am using the default theme/2.7 and had changed the background color from
   grey to a custom blue (a long time ago). There were no problems with this until
   I installed Google Analyticator and FeedSmith (on the same day). Now my blue 
   has been replaced by white. I tried deactivating each plugin to no avail. I can’t
   figure out what is overriding my stylesheet to change the background. Any changes
   I make to the stylesheet are not reflected. Please help!

 * Sorry for the confusion, just the main background color of the whole site (“background-
   color” in style.css). Everything else should look exactly like the default theme
   comes, with all content, sidebar & plugin apps on white (except the header colors).
   It’s the surrounding grey that I had converted to blue and has somehow turned
   white.

 * Right at the top of your style CSS… this part…
 *     ```
       body {
       	font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
       	font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
       	background-color: #003F87
       	color: #333;
       	text-align: center;
       	}
       ```
   
 * You havn’t close the bgcolor off with ; …
 * This…
    `background-color: #003F87`
 * Should be…
    `background-color: #003F87;`

 * Doh! Thank you so much! It’s always the simple things that get overlooked. Not
   sure what caused this to change in the first place but as long as it’s OK now
   I am happy!

 * You’re welcome, some times all you need is a second pair of eyes… 😉
