Background Color or Theme Background

What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: Background Colors

Although I've read the comments about themes and colors I am still confused. If I can't add my FP theme to my two guestbooks, what is the script that I should use to add a color backgound to my GB's after I pick a matching color code :? from your color charts? Thanks!

In the style.css file of your template you can find

Code: Select all

body{margin:0; padding:0; background-image:url(images/bg.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:#003399;}
Add background-color:#FF0000; Where #FF0000 is the color of your choice.
so it looks like this

Code: Select all

body{margin:0; padding:0; background-image:url(images/bg.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:#003399; background-color:#FF0000;}
You also might have to replace the background image with one of your own. Change background-image:url(images/bg.png); to your own image or remove this text to see your background color also on the top of your page (it is a very high background image).

Thanks for your help again. I tried once to change the background color but failed and had to go. I went back to my guest book today to try it again and the GB would not accept my iPage password. Is this an iPage thing or PHP thing? Suggestions? :?

OOOOPS! I forgot to mention that I went to the GB in order to delete spam entries and could not access it. :oops:

Hi Ken,

I do not know what iPage is, so i can not help you with that.

What do you mean, you could not access the guestbook? You could not open the guestbook, or did it not accept your password when trying to delete the entry? I hope you did not accidentally have caps-lock on when typing the password. It happens to often to me.
And check the settings.php file if you use the right password.
