Changing background colour in phpBB:

Hey,

I want to change the colour of the background on my forum.

www.thecomputerforums.co.uk

The background that surrounds the main board.

I have edited the .css file but nothing seem to make a difference.

Can someone please point me in the right direction...

Thanks

Dave.

 

What color are you trying to change it to? Is the CSS now the way you think it should make your background color change?

 

The background is actually an image: http://www.thecomputerforums.co.uk/templates/softmetal/images/bgsoftmetal.jpg

You will need to edit the html, not the css.
Find

<td background="templates/softmetal/images/bgsoftmetal.jpg">

Code (markup):

in the header template and replace

templates/softmetal/images/bgsoftmetal.jpg

Code (markup):

for the path of the image you want to set as background.

I hope that helps

 

Thank you so much, rep added!

 

On messing around the above allows me to add a border around the main forums/board but doesn't allow me to change the the main white space.

Any other Ideas?

Thanks.

 

Find

body {
	background-color: #ffffff;

}

Code (markup):

in the file templates/softmetal/softmetal.css and replace "#ffffff" with the code of the color you want.

This will change the background i marked in the attached picture.
Thanks for the rep

 

You would think that would sort it wouldn't you... but it doesn't.

Have tried changing most things, nothing seems to work.

Will probably stick with it as it is, upgrading to vBulletin soon anyway.

Thanks all the same.

Dave.
