Hello,

I have gone my way modifying portal.css, default.css, and also the skin.css inside the Skin folders trying to change the background color with no success.

I understand this is controlled by .css, but can you suggest why this isn't working? How can I set my skins to direct to these files, or what not. Or perhaps I am doing something off base..



Regards,
Danny

typically the class responsible for the page background is this

body{ border:0; margin:0px 15px 15px 15px; padding:0; height:100%;background-image: url(images/bg.gif);}

above example is a image backgorund but you can replace it with just background-color

Dear mr_dimsum

Of course what Salaro said is the write way... But if you use a skin or you've bought a skin with a table that fill the whole page with for instance a style like this
.PageCntr {background-color: #ffffff;}
<body>
  <table class="PageCntr" width="100%" heigth="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  </table>
</body>
then the background body style have no effect because the background-color of the table overwrite the background of the body.
Keep in mind that you have to examinate the whole skin...

Some extra pointers that may help

The DNN utilises the cascading aspects of CSS and I have had some problems with this until realising that some properties can be set in higher/lower (depending on how you see it)  priority Style sheets

DNN has 4 main css sheets in use - default.css, portal.css, skin.css and container.css

The body can be styled in the first 3 and you should be aware that the styles cascade through each sheet 

I had problems with the menu until I realised that some style properties were set in the previously parsed sheets

Hi,

You don't say what skin you are trying to change. This is important because all skins are different. As an example if you try it with the DNN Blue skin with fixed width layout the page background property can be changed with the .Pagemaster and .Skinmaster properties within the skin.css file located within the DNNblue skin folder. Other skins will vary you need to be more specific...
