Background color of overall page

[aaldere1]

I have a question concerning the overall background of the page.

I have been able to get rounded corners with a specific color, but I can't seem to change the background to the color that I want. I've fiddled with the body tag in the .css file, but when i change the background-color value, nothing happens. On the main phpbb.com page, see how they have the rounded corners, with a grey background? It's the grey color that I would like to obtain but can't seem to figure out how it's done.

In Color.css

Code: Select all

html, body {
   color: #536482;
   background-color: #FFFFFF;

if you want add a background image, just create you image, put in the default images theme folder and add:

Code: Select all

   background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/bg_main.gif");

The background-color for the body tag is defined twice. Once in common.css and also in the colours.css. Just remove one of them

Thank you kindly. that worked wonderfully.

That works great, but what if I wanted the background to show through the gaps in the main forums body. The white part as seen here.
