It would be very helpful for me to have the ability to select the body background color, similar to the way you can select body background image and logo image in the appearance section of site sttings.

Is it possible to add a control that can do this?  If not, can anyone suggest a different way to achieve the same result?

 

Thanks

Kevin,

If you know the hex code for the colour you want to choose, you can add this to the Stylesheet Editor in the Site Settings like this:

body#Body{
background-color:#000000;
}

It will override the colour set for the background throughout the entire site.

Hope this helps.

Rick.

Thanks Rick, that does work as long as the background-color is not set in skin.css

However, I am hoping to find a way to make it easy for my (non-technical) sales people to change the background color without using the style sheet editor.  Is it possible to add another control where someone could simply enter the hex code in a text field and be set?

 

Thanks again.

Ricks solution  will work even if the background-color is set in skin.css since portal.css is loaded after skin.css.

AFAIK there are currently no plans to add this kind of functionality.
