  I am trying to make the background color of my Oxygen theme white in the main section and grey on the sides. I have paid the $30 upgrade and when I use the system to set the background it appears the way I want. But, when I hit save, the entire page is grey. I can’t figure out how to make the main area white and outsides grey. Do I need to use CSS? I dont know how to do that. Any advice?

  @tvphd, the easiest way is to go to Appearance > Background or Appearance > Customize > Background where you can set the background color to a grey of your choice. The main section behind the content has a default color of white.

  thesacredpath, thanks, but that made everything grey. The main section behind the content changed as well.

  I totally forgot that about Oxygen.

  Go to appearance > custom design > CSS edit, and add the following to give you a white background for the content area.

  #page {
  background-color: #ffffff;
  }
