    Hi gang. I am trying to change the background color of my cutline theme but keep the content area white. It works great in IE7 but Firefox is giving me a headache. The navigation area and area below the banner are the problem areas. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I have same question after many attempts after reading about css. Add me to the list who wants to know how to change the backround and leave content boxes white.

    thx,

  4. Same problem here. Looks great in IE but not very good in mozilla. Check it out. www.apologia315.com/shirts

  5. Ok, I solved the issue. It is still not clean in Mozilla, but it is much, much better. I had to go into the core layout CSS and manually add background color to each of the columns and also to the #content. (background: #ffffff;)

  6. Hi all, I'm trying to do the same thing - change the background color for my cutline theme but keep the content white, consistent for all pages. I cannot figure out how to do this. Tips from those who figured it out?

    Thanks in advance.

  7. first line of style.css

    body{background:#F2E1C5 url('images/body_bg.jpg') top left repeat-x; color:#333; font:62.5% Georgia,"Times New Roman",Times,serif; text-align:center}

    This is where you can change background color ie. background:#F2E1C5
    and also add a background image ie. url('images/body_bg.jpg') if you want
    The above only changes body not the content or sidebar

    Works FF, IE6(no one should still be using), IE7, Safari

    I am using a somewhat modified 2 column cutline you have make the adjustments for your site.
