Hi,

I'm new to DNN and I am stuck, I want to change the background colour of my website to match our organizations colour scheme using the default skin.  I have tried editting the CSS in the stylesheet editor  but I am unable to change the background.  Below is what I have tried but it does not work.

/* PAGE BACKGROUND */
/* background color for the header at the top of the page  */
.HeadBg {
background-color: #000066;
}

Do I need to edit the actual skin or can I change the apperance using this stylesheet editor?

Thanks for your help,

Tom

Hi Tommy

what you are editing there is the background color for the class "HeadBG" which unless is used as a table/div with height and width 100% or something to that effect (and judging by the name its not) it will only change the background color for any item associated with that class.

What you need to do, is edit the skins skin.css file and in there either change the existing class that applies the main background-colour  (most likely called body, or pagemaster or something like this) if you cant find any classes like this then add in to following code to the skin.css should do it:

Body {
background-color:  #cccccc;
}   

hope this helps,

Kind Regards

You will have to change the background-color for .pagemaster and #body too...
