I defined a background-color for the body in style.css, as recommended in the readme file, and it doesn't work. I still have a white background.

Anything I can do?

Thanks for this wonderful theme. ;-)

Warm regards from sunny México!

So many things could be wrong that I can't really help you much, but here are the things that you can do:

- Are you using firefox ? if no, use it, and use firebug to debbug your code: http://getfirebug.com/
- Is your css syntax correct ?
- do ou refresh you browser cache ?
- is the color you define correct ?
- Any other div on top of body that could have a bg color ?

Hey, Hub!
Thanks for the swift reply. :-)

Well, yes, I use FF + Firebug.

I only added to the style.css file this:

body 
{
	background-color: Gray;
}

Firebug tells me that in line 15 of bluetrip.css body (and lots of other stuff) is defined as transparent. Made a try and deleted body there and my Gray background appears. Of course, I put back the original file.

Any idea on how to override that in style.css?

Warm regards,
José

ok, I see where the problem is, I'm pretty sure css is case-sensitive, and you shouldn't use 'Gray' but 'gray'. Or even better, try not to use words for colors, but numbers like this : #ff0000
it's fairly easy to do grey with hexadecimal values. From black to white, it looks like this:

#000 - black
#111
#222
#333
#444
...
#999
#aaa
#bbb
#ccc
#ddd
#eee
#fff - white

For other colors, I se the photoshop color tools, but you can also use many other little apps to define colors. If you're on mac, try this :

Not sure about PC, but you can use this : http://www.developingwebs.net/tools/color.php

OK, I'll check this suggestion.

For css files I use TopStyle Lite, nice css editor. :-)

I'll check back to see how it goes.

Warm and sunny regards...

Good day, Hub!

Well, it didn't work. Somehow, that transparent directive in bluetrip.css is in control. :-)

For now I took out body from line 15 in bluetrip.css, so style.css takes care.

I know, I know. I'm not supposed to touch any css file but style.css. :-(

Warm regards from sunny México!
