Change Default Background and Header Colour

[CymbalCentre]

Hi Guys,

 

I am having problems changing the default background colour and header colour on  my store. I'm using Prestashop 1.6.0.8 My store is www.cymbalcentre.co.uk

 

I have followed a couple of tutorials on here but they're not working. What I want to do is change the background from the tiled white image (with faint lines through it) to a plain white background. What I also want to do is change the header colour from white to the same grey as is in the top navigational bar.

 

I have modified global.css as follows:

 

Line 5257

 

columns-container {

background: #FFFFFF;   }

 

Line 5269

 

header  {

z-index: 1;

position: relative;

background: #333333

 

I've uploaded global.css back to my server and no changes have been made at all. I'm confused by this!

 

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Paul,

 

thanks for your reply. I'm not sure which theme I'm using - sorry I'm a newbie. How would I find out?

Apologies for my last post, I'm using theme 3.

Hello

 

Why not use this modifier   !important

 

Line 5257

columns-container {

background: #FFFFFF!important;  

}

 

header  {

z-index: 1;

position: relative;

background: #333333!important;

}
