Forum:Changing color of navigation box

How do I change background color of navigation box, search box, tool box and the line in the bottom containing the "powered by mediawiki" and finally the tabs in the top of the screen?

I tried fx "#navigation a {background-color: red;}" on the MediaWiki:Monobook.css page - but I could see no difference (pressed ctrl + f5 allright) —This unsigned comment is by Djingo (talk • contribs) 23:42, 3 February 2009 (UTC). Please sign your posts with !

I'm not sure, but the following may affect the side bar colors:  div.pBody{ background-color: ; } However, I just remember that there's a Logo Creation wiki that helps other wikis create new skins. You may want to check that wiki out. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 02:28, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks guys, everything you mentioned worked great!!

The last thing I need is color of links and visited links. Also i need to change the color of table of content box.

PS I am not sure how to sign my posts ??
 * For the colored links, try the following:

 a { color: ; } a:hover { color: ; } a:visited { color: ; } a:active { color: ; } a.new { color: ; } a:visited.new { color: ; } a.interwiki, a.external { color: ; } a:visited.external, a:visited.interwiki { color: ; } a.stub { color: ; }

 * I've never seen or tried that before. Maybe someone else can help? I recommend that you ask Kirkburn or Dantman. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 00:59, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * DJingo, these forums are about helping with Wikia.com wikis. If you like help with your own MediaEiki install, there are many other forums and IRC channels on the internet that will be glad to help you. --Uberfuzzy 02:39, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
