(Solved) Change background color displayed for just Header and Footer?

[bykrmom]

Hi,

I need to change the header and footer background colors of the store. Where would I look? I have tried the .tpl files, and the .css files, and the .php files, and I'm either missing the data area, or it doesn't (yet) exist.

Help?

I'd also like a hint on direction to look for text color on Modules, too.

Thanks in advance for any help! :cheese:

If your using the default theme then all this info will be available in global.css located within your thems directory
the header is located on line 180 all you need to do is add in your background colour see example below:

#header {
   float: left;
   height:100px;
   width: 71%;
   text-align: right;
   background: #000000;   (Black for example!)
}

Footer is located on line 827 example again below!

#footer {
   background: #000000;   (Black for example!)
   border-top: 1px solid #d0d3d8;
   padding: 0.5em 0;
   clear: both;
}

Hope that helps

Thank you VERY much. I was using incorrect syntax. Your help is greatly appreciated!

A quick edit; Your assumption was correct, I am using the default theme.

I was successful in making these changes. You may mark this thread as "solved" if you like.
