Which color do you want to change??? Canvas or site body???

Goto yoursite.com/admin/theme/css and add the css code below (depending on what you want to change) to your custom css and save.


Use this css code to change the canvas background color:

.ow_canvas{

background:#color code;

}


And this one to change the site body color:

body{background:#color code;}


Use this tool to generate color codes http://www.ewtnet.com/p/hex-color-code-chart-generator.html


Let me know if this is what you wanted to achieve.

Here's how I change the white background to blue, example?

The code you pasted above is to change the main menu styles. 


paste this code in your custom css to change your body bg color to dark blue.


body{

background:#0B1A7B;

}

+1

but to be sure add the keyword "important"

body{

background:#0B1A7B !important;

}


But note that if your theme has background image, it might be a problem

Just below where you see "edit CSS"..

But the code only changes the menu and not the entire site, or white? I want to change the white to another color
Purusothaman Ramanujam
So, it means that in your theme there is a backgroud image and just changing the backgroud will not work.
Francisco Guerreiro
Francisco Guerreiro Sep 13 '13
then there is an alternative to change to another color?
Purusothaman Ramanujam
Edit the image as you want.

Francisco Guerreiro Sep 13 '13
But how? I put the code and nothing happened!
