Changing base color in Appearance settings seems to have no effect

Did you disable compressed CSS before fiddling?

I'm having this problem too. If I set the base color, it is still a white background in the content-style area. This is why I can't use your theme since my text color is white. It seems that the #fff for background-color is set in the main page.css file, and #content-style in the generated colors.css file in the /sites/default/files directory has no background-color set, even though I set base to #000000.

I can't believe this issue still hasn't been fixed... present in version 7.x-3.0 as well.

As a workaround, I did this:

Appearance -> Themes -> Corolla -> Settings -> Layout and General Settings section of the page -> Extensions tab -> Check box for "Custom CSS"

Save settings.

Scroll down to the Extensions section of the page. Click the "Custom CSS" tab. Add any custom CSS. You can use the "Inspect Element" function in FireFox to see what part of your website is being modified by what CSS code, and then add it to the custom CSS box accordingly.

This is what I did for my "Custom CSS" box:

/* color of the main content box on any page */
.content-style  { background-color: black; }

/* color of the tabs */
ul.primary li.active a { background-color: yellow; color: black; border-bottom: none;}
ul.primary li.active a:hover { background-color: orange; color: black; border-bottom: none;}
ul.primary li a { background-color: black; }
ul.primary li a:hover { background-color: silver; }

/* form field backgrounds (such as the login form) */
input { background-color: silver; }
input.form-text { background-color: silver; }
select { background-color: silver; }
textarea { background-color: silver; }

And so forth. You can pretty much fix any weird background colors this way.

Although it's NOT a real fix, just a hack to work around this problem.

I'm using Footheme off of Corolla for Adaptivetheme 3.x and I have the same issue. I'd love to use Footheme to make a dark theme.

Hi
I found it !

You need to add in your_theme/color/colors.css

/* Base */
#the-id-of-your-main-content-area  {
  background-color: #ffffff;
}
.another-class-you-need-with-the-base-color{
  color: #123456;
}

/* Base */ is important i think !!

After that the new color.css will be generated with the color you choose in appearance settings page
