[akamookee]

as the title

i cant change the colour of my site (none of them) ( i can change it but nothing happens), but giving the site a backgroundimage is no problem..

i dont get it???

please help

There are two different ways to set a background colour, namely

background: green;

and

background-color: green;

Depending on which one was set prior to you changing the colour will determine which one to use for the override.

If in doubt, use background: green !important;

hi

thanks..

i guess u mean once in html (background) and once in css (backgroundcolour)

i did both now, and applied, still nothing and a white background on my site

hmmm??? hmm

If you take the second image Erscheinungsbild (CSS) and change the value of Hintergrundfarbe and click on Anwenden, then the background colour should change accordingly. If not, go into code view and in the first 15 lines of code you should be able to find code similar to

body {

  background-color: #D70609;

}

change that to read (i.e. add !important)

body {

  background-color: #D70609 !important;

}

Viel Glück

  background-color: #D70609 !important;
