treba background changing
-
hi! i’m a newbie, but through trial and error (i.e. simply changing the colors of things to red so i could find them and adjust) and a little HTML knowledge, i’ve got a rudimentary but solid handle on CSS editing.
here’s my problem. i just put up a new site using TREBA and after successfully editing the CSS to change some fonts around, i had it looking basically the way i wanted. but then i realized the background was no longer that lovely light brown fade (the thing that really attracted me to the theme in the first place) but a solid light gray.
thinking it was my mistake and that i had accidentally changed the background color, i retrieved the original stylesheet so that i could compare it to my new one. when i put the original one into the editor just to take a look and hit ‘preview’ i recognized all of the orignal fonts, but once again the background was solid light gray!
this has me stumped. it seems as though the very act of putting the code into the editor is stripping the original background code and replacing it with color#666.
any advice? -

that’s odd… when i view the theme in the theme viewer, it’s got the tan fade background. but when i view it after i’ve edited it (without making any change to the background color in the code), it is a solid light gray.
hm… curious. -
ok, i just changed the theme to “treba” on another blog and the background looks correct. this is without any CSS edits: http://murdyblog.wordpress.com/
by contrast, this is the blog that has been edited, but with NO changes to the background color: http://erikanderica.wordpress.com/
as i said in my original post, this also happened when i pasted the ORIGINAL stylesheet into the editor.
diamondfistwerny, is it a fade from a sort of light brown/tan to a light gray? or are you seeing a solid color?
thanks for your feedback. -
I’m not sure, but it sounds to me as though you may be using the CSS editor incorrectly. You shouldn’t need to put the whole stylesheet anywhere. Just put the edited bits of code into the window and check ‘Add to existing stylesheet’. Otherwise, if you’re putting in a whole stylesheet, make sure you have ‘Start from scratch’ checked.
A good idea would be to remove all your code from the CSS editing window (save it somewhere else, of course), check ‘Add to existing stylesheet’ and see what happens. It should revert to the standard theme.

ah ha! got it. i’m chipping away at just doing the edited bits now.
thank you so much for your help!
