how can I change the background color from white for the content and sidebar area? Pages and posts.

[Detlef]

The background color for the content can be changed under
Color Settings/Content/Content Background

The widget background color can be set under
Color Settings/Sidebar Widgets/Sidebar Background

First let me say that Tempera is an excellent template and the way you can dress it up in different colors are both easy and powerful. My question takes this a little further: how is it possible to add a background image to the content area (not the background background)?
I can’t seem to find the custom changes in the main css-file so I guess it is kept in another custom css?

You need custom CSS for that:
#main { background-image: url(...); }

Fantastic. Looked right over that setting. So one more, How do I add italics to the site title text? Love the theme!

[Phil]

Where do I put the custom CSS?

[George]

How can I add a single large watermark logo background image, centered to the content area? I used the Custom CSS code suggested in this thread (#main { background-image: url(…); }) but it tiled the image

[Kay]

Hi guys!

@joe To add italics to the Site Title add this to the Custom CSS area:

#site-title span a {font-style:italic;}

@Phil You can add CSS code by going to the Tempera Settings page >> Miscellaneous Settings >> Custom CSS area and pasting your custom CSS there.

@George If you don’t want you background image tiled, change that code to this:

#main { background-image: url(...) no-repeat center center; }

Good luck guys!

Thank you for response Kay. I tried the code you suggested and the image is not visible. I inserted the the code for the tiled background image and that works fine. Any other suggestions?

Hi Phil…nice website!

Hey,

thanks for the theme, great work. But i want to change the background to transparent. I tried a lot but nothing worked. All the background sites in white is bad. So i want a transparent on it. Maybe you can help me out.

Thanks again

and sry for my english ^^

@Zil4rt Add this to the Custom CSS area in your Theme settings page:

#main {background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);}

That 0.7 value is the opacity value. Play with it to get your desired results.

Hello,
Tempera is a great theme. I want to have a photo as background only on the presentation page. This was working but on the other pages I need a white content area. I’m a wordpress beginner. Can someone explain me step-by-step how I can fix this. Thanks in advance, Ilna.

If you need to have semi-transparent background use RGBA colors in CSS: CSS3: semi-transparent background color using RGBA. If you need to have cross-browser support, use PIE for IE.

Hi,

Is there any way to change the background colour for only a particular section of the front page? For example: I want the background of the cryout coloumn to be light blue, and the background of the post s (on the main page) to be yellow.
How can I do this?

Thanks!
