Cannot change background and text color


Helvis

Recommended Posts

fyi, I'm new to all of this so please bear with me. I have edited the stylesheet.css file and been able to change the colors on almost everything. The only things I am having a problem with is the background across the top. My logo is showing up and has a black background so I wanted the page to have a black background. I got everything switched to black except the area that runs behind my logo and behind the three icons on the right (my account, cart contents and checkout). So if anyone know where I change that at, I would appreciate it.

 

Also the text in the search box (Use keywords to find the product you are looking for.) is black and doesn't show up now that I changed the background to black. I can't find where to change it. The Advanced Search link shows in white so that is ok but I can't get the other text to show white. So I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest where that is found.

the background color for the header is in the stylesheet.css

 

TR.header {

background: #ffffff;

you could change the color of the text in the search box in catalog/includes/languages/english.php

line about 83

add font tags around the text between the single quotation marks.

that will keep the color change specific to the search box.
