Background color in The Morning After
-
Hi everybody,
I know that there is no support for CSS-customization, but perhaps there are some CSS-gurus for whom my question is a piece of cake.
I have been messing around with many themes and made miner changes, and now I am testing The Morning After. The thing is that I simply do not find the line where I can change the color of the body. I want a blue background, and everything I do just adds a name frame but doesn’t change the actual body-background color.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s no longer true. The former css editing upgrade has doubled in price and as it now includes TypeKit fonts (which were formerly available free of charge to all of us) and the new custom design upgrade does have Staff support. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

The site linked to your username, http://www.barokeszter.hu/ , is wearing twenty ten. Which site are you talking about?
-
Also on http://www.barokeszter.hu/ , go back to settings > reading and set the number of posts to show on the post pages to something reasonable like 5. 10 maximum. Your site takes forever to load and the search engines take site loading times into account when calculating search engine ranking and could well toss your site to the bottom of search results.

On morning after, add this to the CSS edit window and then change the hex color code to the code you want.
body { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #EBEFF2; } -
If vergiftet means that and not the container, you don’t need CSS editing: you just go to Appearance > Background > Color.

Thank you very much, thesacredpath, but my background still remains plain white when I add the code. Maybe it matters where exactly in the forest of codes I put it?
panaghiotisadam, thanks, but I mean the kind of background on which the text is, not the frame.
I wish ALL themes needed he exact same code-changes, because I already know in Twenty Ten where the body color needs to be changed. :D

Outside of the content area is typically referred to as the “body” which is what threw me.
Edit the color code in this. I just tossed in bluish color code as a placeholder.
.container { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #8ca4d0; } -
@vergiftet: Yes, that’s what I suspected, that’s why I spoke about body vs container, prompting you to clarify so that TSP could give you the right code.
By the way, you don’t put any code in any forest: you leave the original CSS in peace and just add your changes. See here for more:

As for your wish, unfortunately designers name each element as they please – often in obvious ways, sometimes not. Favorite example of mine: would you ever think that the footer in one particular theme is called “glass-bottomblock”?
If you’re using Firefox, you can install the Firebug, Web Developer and Aardvark add-ons. Help you examine your page and find the right selectors.

Thank you very much, it seems like whatevwer I do, the text-background will not change. Can it be that it is fixed in this theme?
Screenshot: img18.myimg.de/wrong191ee.jpg – each code I try changes the area I indicated with number 1, whereas I would love to change number 2. Weird.
@panaghiotisadam, I downloaded Firebug, but still have to find out how it works…

Oh, thank you very much, this is it, seems to work now!
I just have to play around with the them to switch to it on my original blog.
