Can somebody tell me what to change or add in the css file to change the background color on the Rutile Template?
I tried body and body-bd but that only changes the color of the template itself and not the surrounding background.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

One of the reasons I never worked with Rutile was difficulty in customizing. I believe you can change the gray background color (which looks to be found in the body#bd area) but it looks like the rest of the site consists of images, all of which would have to be customized in order to change their colors.

Can any of the makers of this template help out please? I just can’t seem to find the correct code or image to change to get another background color, I have tried everything I could think of…

Today I received an answer from the support ticket :

Dear Dejaegere Jeroen,

Thank you for contacting Joomlart.

For this case, please open template.css , at about line 498, find following code:

#ja-wrapper {
margin:0 auto;
width:970px;
}

and change to:

#ja-wrapper {
margin:0 auto;
width:970px;
background: #000000 url(path_to_image) no-repeat;
}

Hope it helps.
Sincerely,
Cao Hau

How shall that work out, the code they sent you shows no bg or picture bg as they say it is the default setting and the bg is grey(???). When there would be some code like below it, with a bg and the first one would be the solution, I would say, okay, this removes any bg from the site when there was one….

Can only be this one:

body#bd {
color: #000000;
margin-top: 5px;
background: #F1F1F1;

Change to any other color code.

Color code #f1f1f1 is this and this is the color of the bg in this template:

When we first started looking into this template I put a screenshot up in the Rutile forum. I went and dug up the photo. Click Here This is what your site is going to look like when/if you figure out how to change the background color. All the modules have to also be changed.

Hopefully JA can help you!

The background for the whole page is defined in body#bd.
The background for the content and module areas is ja-wrapper.

Joomlart just misunderstood the question.

Folkbear you may need to refresh your cache (SHIFT+F5) to see the changes in CSS.

And Jessica is correct… a lot of image editing ahead of you.
