How do I change the color of my background?

On my blog, the background (the part outside of everything esle) is white. I would like it to be black. I know black is #000000; I dont know where to change that though. Can you tell me how to change it?

 

Look in your stylesheet.

In the "Body" section find background-color : #ffffff;

Change #ffffff to #000000

The link to your stylesheet can be seen in your source code at the top of your page.

 

In this part right here?

That didn't change anything.

 

That didn't work did it... sorry. Try changing the background-color in the #page part as well as there is a div id="page" just after the body tag.

In this part...

#page {
	background-color: white;
	border: 1px solid #959596;
	text-align: left;
	}

Code (markup):

See if that does it.


Edit - I just noticed there are 2 #page parts in your stylesheet

 

First you want me to change background-color: white; to background-color: #000000; correct? I did that both places and nothing changed. However I did not see anything that said div id="page"

 

Yes correct, I can see you made those changes.
The div id="page" is in the html (view source), just below the body tag.

After having a closer look at the code there seems to a background image for the body as well... which looks to be all white... the code I am referring to is..

body  { background: url("http://best-general-directory.com/blog/wp-content/themes/nikynik-red-2/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg"); }     

Code (markup):

You could try removing that code from your page to see if that makes it use the background colors selected in your stylesheet.

I can't see anything else that could be affecting the background.
Perhaps someone else could take a look.

 

I'm guessing this means I need to make changes in the actual file and not from the theme editor?
