Black Background Wordpress

[Pooky]

I am using the k2 theme for my wordpress blog, but I want to change the background from white to black. Which file do I edit and what?

Thanks

Rather than trying to hack k2 to your needs, look for a new theme that starts off black, imo.

I will have a look, but I really like everything else about K2, the only thing I want is a black background.

If you just want the background changed, then for a quick and dirty fix, add these lines to the bottom of your Stylesheet (styles.css) under Appearance > Editor (if you're using the latest version of WordPress)

.content {
background:#000;
}
#page {
background: #000;
}

It might be an idea to change the text colour too.

I'm just saying.

That is what my next question is?

Nah -- it looks pretty cool with the grey on black. You could change it to white:

#primary-wrapper p{
color: #FFF;
}

but that white on black really hurts the eyes.

And the headings for the posts?

Yeah, that's why I thought it would be easier to just get a new theme.

I'm totally happy with the layout, just need to change the colours.

h3, h3 a, h3 a:visited {
color: #FFF;
}

Thanks so much!

Where'd you learn this stuff?

 

[o҉rto҉r]

I work for Texo.

I don't know HTML that well so I'm not sure that will help me.

It will allow you to select an html element on the page and tell you what css class is defining its appearance.
