Changing the background colour and other colours of my default template.

[lateral]

HI guys

 

Can somebody please provide me with a step by step way to change the background colour of my default template?

 

Here is a link to my site. You will see that the default background is a graduate white to light grey and I would like it to be all white.

Also, I have tried to use the "front end theme configurator" that allows you to change the background and other colours, but it appears that it does not make the changes permanent...is this correct?

 

I also seem to remember that I saw a post somewhere about adding additional colours/font combination to the "front end theme configurator" but I can't find it anywhere and if the changes are permanent, then it is of no use to me.

 

Regards

Greg

Changes are permanent. You are using theme2 at the moment. Reset theme configurator to get white background.

Hi Dioniz.

 

If I press "reset" on the front office Theme COnfigurator, it just sets it back to the original colours.

 

The background is a checkerboard graduated grey.

I see white background, your header background is checkerboard.

To remove that open global.css and find this:

header .h_top {
    background: url("../img/top-bg1.jpg") repeat-x scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    padding-bottom: 26px;
}

and remove background line.

Thanks mate!

 

I'll try and let you know.

Hi again,

 

This is what I found and did.

 

header .h_top {
    /* background: url(../img/top-bg1.jpg) repeat-x 0 0; */
    padding-bottom: 26px; }

 

It still displays the checkerboard....

Have you done it in this file: yourdomain.com.au/prestashop/themes/theme1005/css/global.css

I can see background is still there.

Hi again,

 

I did exactly "greghanley.com.au/prestashop/themes/theme1005/css/global.css"

 

I just downloaded it again to check and it is still:

 

header .h_top {
    /* background: url(../img/top-bg1.jpg) repeat-x 0 0; */
    padding-bottom: 26px; }

 

I also refreshed my Firefox cache....

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Weird, i can see it's not commented out in your file here: http://www.greghanley.com.au/prestashop/themes/theme1005/css/global.css

Hi mate. Could it be something to do with the theme configurator?

[lateral]

Hi mate

 

checked again and you are correct, The CSS file on the server did not have the line commented out.

 

I copied it again to my desktop and edited it with Notepad instead of Notepad++, made the change, copied it back to the server and it is now working....

 

The only issue I have now is to change the colour of the "signin" and "your account" text" as they are white on a white background..

 

Any ideas?

 

Do you remember there being a post about how to add other "colours" to the front end Theme configurator?

 

Thanks for your help.

In yourdomain/prestashop/themes/theme1005/css/modules/blockuserinfo/blockuserinfo.css find

.user_info li a {
    color: #fff;
    font: 700 16px/18px "Roboto",sans-serif;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;
}

and change color.

 

To many posts to remember. Use search

Thanks mate

 

I have been searching but can't find the post so I thought I'd ask...

 

Thanks again for your help.

Use google for search. You got much better results then in forum search
