  Hey. I got this Theme on my blog it’s called Twenty Ten. I great and all, but I would like to change the white background for a soft gray to make it less hard on the eyes. Or perhaps change the black text in a lighter gray.

  The problem is that when I go in the CSS to change that it doesn’t seems to work. When I write something to change the color of the background, it changes only a little line at the top of the screen, as if the page itself wasn’t «the background». Do you have any idea of how to make it work ?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Do your mean the background color behind posts and pages and sidebars?

  Add this to your CSS edit window and adjust the color as desired.

  #wrapper {
  background: #EEEEEE;
  }
