I have scoured the web looking for answers. Every answer states a different css file to edit. I have tried many of them. The default skin that was installed is MinimalExtropy. I have edited the folowing css files with no luck. Can someone make this easy for me? I am trying to change the background color to blue is all. Thanks

Scott,

Do you use the Firebug plugin for Firefox? (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire...) This great tool lets you see what CSS is applied to different elments, and it shows which .css file the code is contained within.

A quick way to change the background colour of your DNN site is to add the following css tot he stylesheet editor in the admin Site Settings. This updates the portal.css file which overrides all other CSS files because it comes in at the bottom of the loaded CSS.

#Body{
background-color:#0000ff;
}

This video shows where to add the code as well: http://www.youtube.com/psdtodnn#p/u/6...

Regards,

Rick.

Rick,

Thanks for the help. It was was very helpful. I think I am in love with Firebug! After I made the change in the style sheet, it only changed the bottom half of the background. Thanks to firebug i was able to see the top half was getting the color from a different css file. Thanks again.

Scott
