Forum:Changing the content-area background

How do I change the background of the main page's content-area only? Civil Plan 19:13, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * You'll need CSS. I think what you want is.


 * I wanted to make the area transparent so it matches the background, but it doesn't appear to be working. Is that possible? Civil Plan 19:49, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes,  should do that. Make sure you clear your cache.


 * Still not working. See, I wanted to set the area to transparent so that the standard blue background (like the one here) shows, but should I set a background color first? Civil Plan 22:32, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * It would help if you gave a link so we can see if you are doing it right.--


 * is a background color. Try.


 * Here's a link. I've been pasting this in Common.css and it still doesn't work. Civil Plan 23:11, June 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Turns out that  is transparent by default, and the white color you see is from  . Try   and see how it looks, if you still want it on just the content area that can be done.

Okay, that worked, thank you. Now the next question is what do I do to make sure the footer and header backgrounds stay white, however? Civil Plan 23:45, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
