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!

Anonymous (not verified) commentedSo 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 ?
Cold regards from rainy Vancouver!

pepemty commentedHey, Hub!
Thanks for the swift reply. :-)
Well, yes, I use FF + Firebug.
I only added to the style.css file this:
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

Anonymous (not verified) commentedok, 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

pepemty commentedOK, 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...

pepemty commentedGood 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!
