Background colour reverted to white?!

[Suze]

Hi there

Well we are about to launch tomoz and actinic decides to bite back again. The background colour was purple but has reverted to white for no reason? I sent the site to a work chum who added payment details then I imported his snapshot and it was suddenly white!

If you look at the source code it says background colour is purple, it appears purple in dreamweaver and also actinic (themes - bkgd col purple)

If anyone knows what is going on please please inform me

Thanks so much and also for all the help I have already had from you guys

html, body {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
color:#660066;
font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

That's in your actinic css

Hi there

I guessed it might be a conflict - I tried to manually change the code in actinic in edit code layout for actinic style sheet as you can see below...but nothing has changed on upload. The preview window shows it as purple..

/* begin general styles for all themes */
html,body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsBackgroundColor%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20True">
background-color:#9933cc;

Is there a way of removing the colour altogether so it doesnt conflict with design already set in dream?

[Rich Brady]

Your CSS still says #FFFFFF

[Suze]

Do you know where I access this? I have changed actinic.css in dreamweaver so it cant be coming from there

or do I need to get it in actinic?

[Rich Brady]

It shouldn't mater where you change it, but make sure that the newest version has been uploaded.

If it's showing correct in your preview, maybe the css on your server is the old one?

I have changed actinic.css in dreamweaver

That's probably the problem. Actinic generates actinic.css every time you upload, so any changes you make to that file will be subsequently clobbered.

Change it via Design / Library / Layouts / Web Page Outer Layout / Actinic Stylesheet.

Where are you seeing this?
I have changed the bkgd colour in the themes - it is def purple and reuploaded but still white

In the design library > web page outer layout > I double click actinic stylesheet and it opens up the code as so:

bkcolour = 'BgColor'

/* begin general styles for all themes */
html,body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsBackgroundColor%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20True">
background-color:<actinic:variable name="BGColor" />;
</actinic:block> ....etc
}

This is all greek to me do I need to click on 'bgcolor' and change something?

edit appearance box appears but dont know what I am meant to change? It seems related to fonts???

Please help as I'm about to go insane!!!

<actinic:variable name="BGColor" /> is an Actinic variable that is being pulled from your theme settings.

Go to Design | Themes and edit it there, or just remove that line of code from your CSS.

Just re-read your post, it should be working, but as Louise suggests, perhaps a refresh will straighten things out.

[Suze]

Have refreshed about a million times

reverted back to old site but still the same story there is no reason for it. Ive given up looks like actinic wins this one

thanks for trying to help anyho'

If you haven't changed the actinic.css, go to Design > Themes > 'Advance Theme Configuration' > under the 'Color Scheme' tab, change Palette Colour 1 to the purple you want. Click 'Save As', give it a name, then click 'Ok'
