background colour

[pexa]

This might sound like a pretty stupid question

but i am trying to change the background colour on my commerce site, i want the colour to at least be changed on the header

i have tried adding <bgcolor="#006599"> in a few areas on the header.php but it just doesnt seem to change it, i have a image algined in the middle of the header and i want the background colour to match that, I've tried adding that command inside and outside the tables.

Also when i add that command to the main index.php the whole page fails.

So if anyone could help me that would be great

Thanks

Try this.

 

In header.php find this code:

 

  if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
echo $messageStack->output('header');
 }
?>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr class="header">

Change the last two lines to:

 

<table bgcolor="#006599" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
 <tr>

Probably should make a backup before editing...
