Hello Mike,

I tried to change the main body background by removing the image /templates/bigpicture/images/background.png in the "Template Specific" section of the template manager, and adding a colour to:

Template Manager>Backgrounds>Main Body Background> CHOOSE A BACKGROUND COLOR

However, the background is plain white in that case. It somehow doesn't pick up the colour. Or is there another way of doing this?

Many thanks!
Alex

Hello,

Add this to the custom.css if you aren't using an image.

body {
background: #ff0000 !important;}

Hi Mike,

This override didn't work immediately, but it is the way to go ... I'll ask a developer to look at this.

Many thanks!
