Is it possible to change the color of the header area without loading an image?

I'm trying to optimize my site for speed to I would prefer coloring it through html.

Thanks!

If you just want a solid color just use the %bar1 or %bar2 and style it as you wish.

or add to CSS Inserts

#header {background: #00ffff !important;}

(you might want to change the color to something else

Hi Guys!

Thanks for both tips. Though they both work, how do I apply the color to go past the margins and paddings?

Here's my site http://www.seotaoist.com/ and I want the header area all blue without any white spaces whatsoever.

Also is it possible to extend my menu bar's yellow stripe across the whole page? Moving out to the whole background?

Thanks!

You will probably have to play with padding on #header. As for extending the yellow menu bar you will have to create a background image that matches up with the menu bar both in alignment and color and put it in ATO>Body, Text, & Links using the example for setting a background image as a guide. The image could be just a few pixels wide and and you would add repeat-x to repeat it horizontally. Is that enough info to get you started or do you need more detail?

Hi Larry!

Thanks for this! Though I would still need your help to kind of guide me step by step especially with where I'm supposed to place the code and what code to place. Hehe

Super thanks!
