hey guys, how can i change the page background from white to a more gentle shade? im new to this but got the forum up sooooo easily that i dont want to break it lol

---

a may be asking the wrong question. what i want to change is the background color of the actual page. ive searched on here and can find details about how to change all the other backgrounds but not the bright white page

In global.css, find

#content {
  background: #fff;
  width: auto !important;
  padding: 20px 10px;
  overflow: hidden;
}

and change background: #whatever color you like;

background:#cecece;
is a medium light gray

Edit to add: screenshot shows use of Firefox web tools to locate the appropriate element and view the css code that I changed to bright red. Moving the cursor to select a screenshot area changed the highlight, but you can see the red background color behind all that highlighting.

thank you, thats perfect and the firefox tip was very helpful.
