Use Firebug for Firefox to find out precisely what to change.

Watch these videos to see how to use it.
Don't HACK the Joomla! core, Instead "Extend" and/or "Override."

I think you need to be clear cache on Joomla and your browser.

What exactly did you do to change it... which css attribute did you change? If it is the atomic template then the change you made is in a section of the template.css that has been commented out.

A note in the template.css reads:

/* A variation on Eric Meyer's CSS Reset:
This is disabled because the Blueprint framework already has it.
You should enable it if you aren't using Blueprint.

In the css/blueprint folder open the screen.css file and look for the "body" tag entry in the section labelled typography...

Code: Select all


/* typography.css */
html {font-size:100.01%;}
body {font-size:75%;color:#222;background:#fff;font-family:"Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}

change "background:#fff;" to Navy... or its hexadecimal equivalent...

You need to clear your cache to see the effect. This might be happening because you have not cleared you browser cache

Fair enough for me, but what about the others that already visited the website?

Will clear joomla's cache be enough or would I have to ask them to clear their browser's cache?
