change default text color [SOLVED]

Post by kief24 »

I want to change the default text color on the site.

I've read the instructions, but it doesn't seem to work out for me.

My template is
"Top simple navigation + left subnavigation + 1 column"

That uses the css file
"Layout: Top menu + 2 columns"

In that css file, I find :

Code: Select all

/*****************basic layout *****************/
body {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
/* default text color for entire site*/
	color: #E7AA0B;
/* you can set your own image and background color here */
	background: #f4f4f4 url([[root_url]]/uploads/ngrey/body.png) repeat-x left top;
}

But whatever value I put in color: ....., nothing changes.

Any suggestions ?

Thx!

Can you post a link to your site?

Maybe you are operating in the wrong stylesheet? As far as I can tell that sample of text you gave here is not in the attached style sheet...

However, if you change the color in the pagewrapper div of the appropriate stylesheet, it will work.

thx for the advice.

Changed the color in the pagewrapper DIV, and now it works fine.
