Changing colors on template

[aliknightspsych]

Hello

I would like to know how to change the colors on the Barely Corporate template. I know how to change the color at the header, but I would like the sides of the template to match my header color. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Hello,

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

#featured { background: #000; }
#main { background: #000; }
#bottom { background: #000; }

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
