Are you using a theme that uses stylesheets? In which case you have to create a range of different stylesheet (*.css) files that your different primary templates will use.

1. Open 'actinic.css' in Notepad.

2. Save it as 'actinic2.css'.

3. Now, within 'actinic2.css' locate:

background-color:NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLORCSS;
background-image:url(NETQUOTEVAR:BGIMAGECSS);

and change it to

background-color:red;
background-image:url(background2.gif);

(substituting 'red' for your desired colour � this can be a hexidecimal RGB colour reference of the form #nnnnnn � and 'background2.gif' for your own background image file)

4. Close the template.

5. Now open 'Act_Primary.html'.

6. Save it as 'Act_Primary2.html'

7. Within this template, go to the top of the HTML code and locate the line
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF="actinic.css">

8. Change it to read:
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF="actinic2.css">

9. Finally, locate the variables 'NETQUOTEVAR:BGIMAGE' and 'NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR' within the <BODY> tag of the file you are currently editing.

10. Remove these two variables from the <BODY> tag and include the line

�somewhere in the template so Actinic does not complain about these variables being missing.

You can now use 'Act_Primary2.html' as the overall layout template for any section that you want to use the alternate colour. This is set in the 'Layout' tab of a section.
