Is there a setting in ThemeMagic to change the background color for Newstream2?

I believe the color is a light great and might be #F1F1F1 but am not sure. I want to change it.

If it has to be changed in custom.css can you please give me a little snipped of css magic? I will probably change it to something like #eff9ff

thank you, Sean

I think it should be as simple as adding this to custom.css

yep thats right but the variable in theme magic should work but for reason doesn't

Will add this to update pending

Cheers
Paul

oh and thanks Blueshift

Thanks to both of you. Interestingly enough there might be something else going on that is preventing this color from being able to be set. I put in the code that was provided just to see it on a temporary basis but it did not change the background color for me:

body {
background-color: #eff9ff;
}

ah

you're right this is the line in question

body .t3-wrapper {
background: #ffffff url(../../../../images/gradient.png) repeat-x !important;
}

So to overrule it you either add your own image file to the line above in the custom css file or use background-image: none

the simplest option for a colour would be

html body .t3-wrapper {background-image: none !important; background-color:red !important;}

replacing the red with your hex colour value

Hi Sean,

Sorry that variable isn't available in theme magic any more so it is a change via custom.css that is needed

Cheers
Paul

Thank you very much! I changed the background using the hex value in the code you gave me. I did not touch the gradient.png and the background color changed just fine!

So, I am not sure what the use of the gradient.png file is for but I would sure like to know. I believe the gradient.png is actually white. So, that is white image is not being used for the main background image?

HiSean

It depends on the background colour its mostly a transition between a subtle colour and the background

if the colour is subtle you may well not need to change the image

Cheers
Paul

Yes, my background color is very subtle. Thanks for the explanation. I think I am good with calling this a finished discussion.

Thanks Sean!
