Hi. Perhaps this is just an option I've missed somewhere, but is there an option to set the background colour of the whole site to light grey (just like on these forums).

This really is a great theme by the way. I've only just found wordpress and this is making it very easy!!! (So impressed I've just donated!)

Flynn made it really easy. Go to your Atahualpa theme options/Body, Text and Links, and look at the body style. The default is white, #ffffff. A light gray would be #cccccc. If you're not familiar with the colors used in webpages, check out http://www.digitdesigns.com/colrPick/framePic.htm. Remember, you need the # when entering a color code.

When I created my blog I flipped the colors from black-on-white to white-on-black. My problem is that this messes up the calendar widget and I haven't been able to figure out where/how to fix it. You can see the result on my site. Can someone please clue me in to how to get the calendar's title and no-activity dates to show? Thanks.

Wow, thanks for all the speedy help!

That's exactly what I wanted. I assumed the "body" section was for the background of the frames or something. But thinking about it now, of course, you can do those individually so there wouldn't be a need for that.

Thanks again.

I would like to do this also , but i dont see it when i go to my file manager then athualpa file , options , then theres no listing for body or text and links ... ?

See Wordpress Site Admin -> Appearance -> Atahualpa Theme Options

These are not files but clickable links in the Wordpress admin area.

ohhhhhhhhh. got it , sorry im a newb ... Started on a blog forum , then got my hosting and spent time on the hosting forum , now im here for a while .

thanks !

Strange thing is, I can't get it to work for me...

I cannot get the background color to change either?

I have typed in the following in the body style section of the options: font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; color: #000000; background: #CCCCFF;

Then I click to save changes, but the background color never changes.

In sarge's case, he had two background:#xxxxxx; in the Body style and the second one was background:#FFFFFF; which overrode the first. Removing the second allowed the first color choice to be applied

Atahualpa333 Theme...URGENT help required please...I copied and pasted a table and some content from another site into one of my pages. Since then my entire background colour has gone black, with the exception of the side-bars...

I have overwritten the "style.css" file from an earlier saved copy, but this hasn't helped.
I have also checked the settings in admin and they are all showing the correct setting for white...I desperately need to fix this can you please assist?

Best regards,
Steve
