    If you want to change the website background to white, go into the style.css file, line#57 and change:

    Code:
    background: url(../images/body-bg.jpg) 0 0 repeat;
    to

    Code:
    background: #FFF;
    This will remove the yellow linen-type background image and make the background white for you.

    If you want to remove the header background image, navigation background image and footer then you'll need to do the same as I showed you for lines #148, #235, #873


    -------


    To remove the titles in the slider, then you need to into the relevant section of the code where the slider is coded, and look for a html comment like so:

    HTML Code:
    <!-- BEGIN .homepage-slider-item -->
    a few lines after that you'll see a paragraph tag, with a link inside it. Remove that paragraph tag and you should be set.

    Looks like Tomos Wyn has answered most of your questions. But if you want to change the yellow cross-hatched background colour to white, you can forget CSS and just replace the repeated background image.

    I've NEVER used Wordpress in my life, so I'm not sure if you have access to the images folder in your FTP or what, but if it uses normal FTP you just need to save and rename the image below to contentwrapperbg.jpg, then upload it to where the original contentwrapperbg.jpg is in the images folder and REPLACE it. Then refresh the site.



    If you want the cross-hatching removed and the background just plain white, let me know and I'll send you a white square of the exact same dimensions.

      True, if you just want to replace the image you'd ftp to wp-content/themes/rlight/images/ and then upload the new image with the same name there.

      I'm afraid I'd have to disagree here. Why use an image for a solid background colour when you can accomplish the same thing with CSS. Your reducing http requests by declaring the colour vs loading a image made up of one colour. If you have a pattern then use an image, if you have a solid colour, just declare it as a hex value in the CSS.

        Couldn't agree with you more. I wasn't disputing the logic, I was simply suggesting it would be more convenient seeing as he didn't appear very literate in navigating the CSS.

        Your absolutly right. Even if you only used a tiny 1px square image to repeat into a white background its still much better to just add the hex value. No matter how small the image file may be your still making a http request.

    You need a developer not a designer. Two different things.
    Does the theme publisher not have a forum or faq area. Also most themes should come with a help file to explain how to do all the basics.

      i have done the changes to the slider title but im yet to change the body background. i have downloaded the firebug plugin and i really liked it. i have gone into my css. file to change the background and i uploaded the changes but the change did not occur. [i dont know why]

      now im left with trying to change the slider to fade instead of sliding sideway, but i dont think i can handle that except i get a hand from you guys.[is there a code i can use for this]

      i all i am very grateful to you all especially to for your support. hope i will still get more from you guys. i really need the help.
