How can I change the Twenty Ten tab background

Edit style.css:

#access {
background:#000;
display:block;
float:left;
margin:0 auto;
width:940px;
}

and change #000 to the color that you want.

what if i wanted to make replace it with a jpeg?

i wanted to add a sentence there

You’d need to use something like:

background:url(images/quote.jpg) no-repeat right center;

in place of background:#000;. However, you would also need to upload your image (quote.jpg) to your theme’s images folder and you might need to do some image tweaking to get it just the right size.

Another option might be to use a quote plugin. There are plenty of them to choose from.

thanks esmi, working on it now i’ll let you u know if it works

Got it up and running thanks for the help. I most definitely could not have done it without you thanks..

Hi! I am SOOOO new at www.ads-software.com, and I am confused. WHERE do I find the code to change the color on the tabs? I want to change it from Black to a pink…

My website is https://www.chickyrama.com. I’m sorry, but I am a wordpress weenie. I do know some HTML, but I cannot find ANY documentation on where to go to change this…it is just assumed that everyone knows. Thanks. I need help bad.

Install Firefox Firebug ; then when you hover over any html element; you will see the line number of all the css involved.

This way you can investigate and fix further css issues by yourself and quicker.

changes to formatting, i.e. css styles, are usually to be done in style.css of your theme.

your question is confusing: your linked site does not have any black tabs.

in your current theme ‘beecrafty’, the nav background is an image: /wp-content/themes/beecrafty/images/bg-nav.png
which you might need to edit in a graphic program.

Yeah, I screwed up…

But if I didn’t screw up (and have to go back to reinstall my WordPress because I was using a template that I no longer had access to) WHAT do I look for in the stylesheet to make changes? And, where can I find this information as a tutorial or something? Like I said, and will all due respect, (I don’t know what you mean by the “nav, etc.” stuff above.) I am a WordPress weenie, and a lot of us weenies are moms (who LOVE to blog) who don’t have the time to figure out coding but would really like to use WordPress because we hear it is cool….

Thanks so much for all your help, you guys…

that is fine – as long as you like the look of your blog as it is.

if you want to make changes, you will, sooner or later, need to get used to html, css, and php.

the styles for the menu bar in twenty ten are starting here in style.css:

/* =Menu
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

#access {
	background: #000;
...

and there you already have the background style with the color black (color code #000);
