Hi – I want to change the background color on the “Welcome Wide” widget and I’m having trouble figuring out where to do that in the CSS. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Erin

Take a look around line 1189 in your css file for this –
```
#welcome {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #303236;
    clear: both;
    color: #CCCCCC;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: center;
}
```

I tried it and it didn’t work – I think because it’s being overridden by the color at Lines 2919-2924, which specifies the color for #welcome. I was trying to get Welcome-Wide to have a white background and Welcome Features 1-3 to have a blue background, but now I see that it looks like Welcome-Wide and the Welcome Features are all governed under #welcome.

I think I may be able to do what I want there another way though. Thanks!

If it didn’t work you probably didn’t edit the right area. Make sure you are editing the part that says “background”….not the “color”. The “color” is for the font color. The “background” is what you’re supposed to be editing, and once you do it will work.

Hi

I have just fired up your theme, looks great in the demo by the way! Some xml demo files would have been great but hey ho

I would also like to change the Wide Welcome Widget Bgd colour to white and then the bgd colour of the 3 featured areas underneath to black – I tried changing the bgd colour exactly as you mentioned above on liine 1189 but no change at all

#welcome {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #303236;
clear: both;
color: #CCCCCC;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}

I changed that colour to #FFFFFF and a couple of others but it does not make any change to the theme

Please can you assist thanks
