    Hi all,
    I've been updating the new custodian template with some success. I've managed to change the navigation menu, the hovers that go with it as well as the hover text for articals.
    I would like to change the logo and the background from white to black. I though replacing the logo.png file would  update the logo but that did not happen and I cannot locate the element to change the site's entire back ground to black. However, I have managed to change the search box, leave a reply  and captcha boxes' backgrounf (not the text area) to black.
    Does anyone know which CSS controls the site's background and how to change the logo?

    Thanks

    Mos

    Thanks Ijuba. I did try both of those methods, I probably should stop tinkering when it hits 1am.
    :D

    Hi,
    colors are mostly defined in _css/colors.css; body-background declaration is in style.css, line 357. These thing you can easily find with FireBug extension for Firefox, or in Chromium on right-click by choosing 'inspect element'.

    :( I did find the body background on line 537 in styles.css but that was set to #000 which I believe is black. I must be missing a trick somewhere.  :-?

    I changed that too. At least I found the problem now. The browser does not reload from fresh. I started switching between rock star theme and NC theme to force changes but now even that isn't working. I guess its time to find an IDE, which I hope is available.

    If you hold down the Shift key while clicking the reload button of your browser, it will load everything again and not use anything from the cache.
