Deleting Background Image in Sapphire Theme

    We are setting up a blog at http://theoryclass.wordpress.com/ and want to change the background colour. Seemingly it is an image according to when you look at the code (view code) from the browser. We are using the Sapphire code. And here is the code below:

    <style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>

    /* BEGIN IMAGE CSS */
    /* To accomodate differing install paths of WordPress, images are referred only here,
    and not in the wp-layout.css file. If you prefer to use only CSS for colors and what
    not, then go right ahead and delete the following lines, and the image files. */

    body { background: url(“http://s1.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/sapphire/images/sapphirebg.jpg”); }
    #page { background: url(“http://s2.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/sapphire/images/sapphirebody.jpg”) repeat-y top center; border: none; }
    #header { background: url(“http://s3.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/sapphire/images/sapphirehead.jpg”) no-repeat bottom center; }
    #footer { background: url(“http://s1.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/sapphire/images/sapphirefooter.jpg”) no-repeat bottom center; border: none;}

    /* Because the template is slightly different, size-wise, with images, this needs to be set here
    If you don’t want to use the template’s images, you can also delete the following two lines. */

    #header { margin: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 1px; padding: 0; height: 180px; width: 760px; }
    #headerimg { margin: 0; height: 180px; width: 740px; }
    /* END IMAGE CSS */

    </style>

    You can see that the author says you are able to delete these files, but I can not find them anywhere in the css sheet that is available to me.

    Anyone have a suggestion how I can delete these so that I can make the background just a simple black?

    Thanks

    At wordpress.COM, we do not have access to the underlying HTML or PHP files. The background could be changed, but it requires the paid CSS upgrade and CSS editing experience.
