If you want to change background of any element on your site, first of all, find its selector.
Then in Appearance > Theme Options > Code > Custom CSS you can change background-color, using code like this:
1 2 3 |
.container { background:red; } |
You can find nice color base here.
There are a few ways to define a background. One of them is to use an image as background. To do that you need to use background-image parameter.
1 2 3 |
.container { background-image:url('background.png'); } |
