Background Color or Image

Permalink
Im sorry to be asking some a novice question, but I have spent several hours trying and searching on here and can't seem to find an answer that will work.

Is there a way on the plain yogurt theme to have a background image and still have the main content area be a solid color? So, the background image only shows to the left/right of the content area? I assume it would be something you could do in the css but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Russ

yes you can...

in typography.css change the following:

body {
        /* customize_body */ font: normal normal 13px Arial; /* customize_body */
        /* customize_body */ color: #000000; /* customize_body */
font-family: 'Times New Roman',Verdana, Geneva, Arial;
}


Where it says customize_body - this is where you can change the color of the main body pages.

You can then add the following:

background: #000000;


the above would change the background to the color black.

Thank you for your help! Unfortunately I can't get that to work. When I add the background tag in typography.css it changes the entire background including the center content area. I would like the center content area (where you add the blocks) to remain white/off white. Do you know if there is anyone that I can work with (pay) to help me customize the theme to get the effect I am looking for?

Thanks,

Russ

You can add a solid background to the main content area.

Add to main>> Design>> Background

If you would like this to be consistent throughout the site then you may want to change the 'Page Types' defaults.

Hope that helps.

Yes, that is something we can do for you. Send me a PM with the details (is it just the background, or more design work)
