There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Problems with Custom Background Color

Hey all,

I'd like to change the background color of my blog, and possibly use a background image. The problem is when I attempt to do either, the colors bleed into the center column, and into the part that says "post" "comments" at the top above the header image.

I'm doing this from the Body Style page in theme options, where the following is given;

font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.8em;
color: #000000;
background: #ffffff;

I just change the #ffffff to what I want, and it bleeds. Is this the right place to do this?

I'm only using a left sidebar and main column. Here's a link to my blog so you can see what I'm talking about, note the background colors are left at default.

Any help would be great, this is a great theme, but this is the one simple thing I want to do that doesn't seem simple.

Best,

Matt

That is where you change the background for the body. Then you also may need to change the backgrounds for the sidebars and post containers in their respective section of the theme options.
