OpenCart Community

I need to figure out how I can modify the background color of my opencart 1.5 site for the default template. please help, customer from hell wants to see the changes right away I cant find the line of code governing it...

theme/default/stylesheet/stylesheet.css

I went there and changed every hexadecimal color code individually and updated to see changes, none of them changed the browser background color... which line of code am i looking for specifically?

body {
background-color:#000;
}

You would use that to make your background black. Changing the body will affect the whole site You would edit the style sheet as described above and then upload it. Hope this helps.

ftntravis, thanks for trying to help, but that line of code does not exist in opencart 1.5 update I am looking here where i believe it should be and has been in previous versions.... catalog/view/themes/default/stylesheet/stylesheet.css I have looked for it several times...

Add a body code? Then code that? Haha Idk

i tried it... no luck... i copied the code you sent me into the stylesheet.css saved uploaded to ftp and refreshed, cleared cookies cache history etc nothing, i need to change it soon too...

hmm found this in the 1.5 style sheet

body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
background-color:#000;
background:url(../image/blueback.png) #000 center top no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
}

try adding this code to see if it will change the bg color:

body {
background-color:#000 !important;
}

No need to use both: try this

what style sheet are you looking at? This code youve suggested doesn't exist in mine. I am using opencart 1.5.0.4 and looking at the file found in this directory..... upload/catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet/stylesheet.css

Not in my stylesheet.css in the default theme...

body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
background-color:#000;
background:url(../image/blueback.png) #000 center top no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
}

I just want to change the background color of the site, doesnt anyone know how to do this????, it cant be that hard. someone has to have used this new version of opencart and found this css parameter ....

Hi

I've just installed v 1.5.0.4 and started fiddling with it for the first time...

In my upload/catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet/stylesheet.css I have a style definition for BODY. I think you will too. Are you sure that you aren't editing upload/catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet/slideshow.css by mistake?

I can't imagine a main stylesheet WITHOUT a definition for the body tag!

If you are using or creating a custom theme, make sure the stylesheet path in header.tpl is accurate.

At the top of the default stylesheet you see:

html {
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

adding it in like this where #000000 is the hex color that you want for the background."

html {
background:#000000;
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}


works for me

Got the same problem, solved it by changing in defult theme.
