Hi Guys

 

I am stuck, i have the default theme only on 1.5.5, i have tried to edit the globle css in the default theme but the background colour will not change.

 

I have changed the background to blue, #ddd, ect but the background on the site remains white 

 

any help would be great

Don't forget this ";".

Thanks for the reply, putting " ; " at the end of the colour code still does not work

I am having the same problem this morning. I change the color in the css...save....go back to css to check...the old code is STILL there!

[killeer]

That does not happen to me i change the code and when i go back to the global.css its changed but no affect on the site

hello

 

it's because you use minifed css files. turn of CCC for css files, recompile theme, and then - turn it back on.

 

it should help

CCC thing also solved my problem. Cheers

Hi

 

I am trying to change the background colour, white is soo boreing lol  just looking for a different colour, on an older version of ps  i changed the global.css and it worked fine but this new install it does not want to play

thank you for the help so far

[vekia]

this is code from your css file:

body {
background: #fff;
font-family: Arial,sans-serif;
}

it looks like you don't change it. moreover, you've got CCC for css files. 

can you for test purposes disable it? at all. Then change the background param in global.css file. 

after that - please don't turn CCC on.

 

i will inspect it then. just let me know that you changed it.

[killeer]

Hi Vekia

 

Thank you for coming back to me

 

i have changed the global to #6698FF 

 

i have also disabled the css

[vekia]

thanks!

 

now everything is clear, take a look on this picture:

 

you've got two definition of body tag. first in file style.css, second in global.css

in this case backgrund param is defined in style.css.

 

you can fixt it by:

1. modify style.css file (body background param)
2. use this background definition: background: #6698FF!important to global.css (instead simple without !important)

 

decision is yours

[killeer]

Thanks for the help  thats awesome shame i cant find the style.css file tho

[vekia]

if everyting will work as you expect - let me know

then i will mark this topic as solved
 

[killeer]

i will once i find the style.css file

Thanks for the help  thats awesome shame i cant find the style.css file tho

Killeer, you'll find it here:

 

http://onyxia.co.uk/modules/lofmanufacturerscroll2/assets/style.css

 

It's often non-standard modules/themes on a site that prove to be the underlying root cause of reported issues, so it's helpful if their existence can be highlighted early on.

 

Hopefully you can now make the required amendment, and then assuming all is OK, mark the thread as 'SOLVED'.

 

Thanks, Dave

it's very simple to find .css, use firebug

 

right click on an element

 

inspect element with firebug

 

to the right it will tell give you the .css related to that element, hover over the .css name and it will even give you the path to the file.

[vekia]

oops it's my fault, i didn't noticed that you're looking for this file. i think that stottycabanas helps you in this case

it meant, that it is time to sleep

[killeer]

Thank you guys very much, i did not think a 3rd party module would overwrite the global.css

 

can we mark this a resolved.

 

On a side note does anyone know how to add an image to the blank sides of the webpage?
