Does the #leader refer to the large headings on posts and/or the "feature" on the front page?</p> <p>If so, that's what I'm after. Although I added the code you suggested at the bottom of my style.css and didn't get any change:</p> <pre><code>#leader{ background: green; }</code></pre> <p>Thank you,<br /> Tim. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-have-several-different-background-colours#post-13592 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 23:20:32 +0000 helgatheviking 13592@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>i <em>think</em> you are looking to change the colors on the body and on #leader</p> <p>body {<br /> background: red;<br /> }</p> <p>#leader{<br /> background: green;<br /> }</p> <p>but then again, i can't really tell what you mean by 'sections'. for any questions pertaining to CSS you should <a href="http://www.getfirebug.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.getfirebug.com</a> for firefox. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-have-several-different-background-colours#post-13578 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:15:38 +0000 nextchallenge 13578@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi guys</p> <p>Question from a newbie here so I hope it's not too stupid to ask...</p> <p>I'm using the 'Feature Site' Child Theme and would like to change the background colours on each different "section".</p> <p>Much like on the ThemeShaper home page where there are effectively stripes of different colours across the website (beige, grey, black, yellow, white, black).</p> <p>I worked out how to change the Header, Body and Footer separately by adding bits at the bottom of the style.css but can't work out how to edit the other sections. I think they may be the "asides" but, as I said, I'm new to this...</p> <p>Any help much appreciated.</p> <p>Tim.<br /> <a href="http://2012inspire.com" rel="nofollow">http://2012inspire.com</a> </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/sidebar-colour#post-5079 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:58:12 +0000 judi 5079@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Thanks so much!
