[Theme: Twenty Twelve] Cannot edit the background color of wrapper

  • Hi,

    I would like to edit the background color of the content area of my web page. I thought that just editing .wrapper class would do the job, however it didn’t work.

    What works, is editing the background color of the article or widget area.

    Any idea why it doesn’t work with wrapper?

    Are you using a browser developer tool like Firebug or the one built-in to Chrome?

    I am using firebug. Are there any problems with that?

    With Firebug can you see the first ‘<div>‘ underneath ‘<body>‘? I think that’s the one you want to apply the background color to.

    Actually, it’s not. If I would aplly it to the div under the body, the header changes as well. I only want to change the widget, the article area and the area around it.

    If I add in:
    <div id="main" class="wrapper">

    a custom css tag, it works:

    <div id="main" class="wrapper" style="background-color: white;">

    However if I change the wrapper in the css it doesn’t.

    Any idea where I can change this div tag, in which .php i can find it? Or any better solutions?

    To clarify, can you link to a screenshot that highlights the areas you want to style?

    I would like to have the widget area and the area around as well in white.

    If you apply the code

    <div id="main" class="wrapper" style="background-color: white;">

    you can get an idea what I want to.
