Once you do that you should be able to add a background-color attribute to set your backgorund color. It should look something like the following .ms-globaltitlearea { background-image:url("none"); background-color: #022800; Make sure you close the class with the trailing { See if that helps. -Jay Santosh,

I think the class you’re looking for is .ms-globaltitlearea. make sure that you have set the url of the background-image attribute to “none”. Once you do that you should be able to add a background-color attribute to set your backgorund color. It should look something like the following

.ms-globaltitlearea {
background-image:url(”none”);
background-color: #022800;

Make sure you close the class with the trailing {

See if that helps.

From there, I will add all my selectors as overwritters to my new CSS file. I will then export this CSS to a theme and apply it to each seperate site. Themes can reach pretty far into your site, branding the 12 hive application pages (anything with /_layouts/ in the url) When you apply a theme, the CSS reference is added to the masterpage above any custom CSS, so you can move the theme css tag to just before the ending tag. This will insure your CSS theme will overwrite the Core.css and any other styling. If you are still having problems, you can use specific selectors by tag name, eg. TD.ms-wp_header, etc will overwrite any inline ms-wp_header css. You can learn a lot about this on w3 schools, http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#pattern-matching Themes take some time to put together, but will drastically brand your site.

The plan is to point out options for deploying the customized .css file and some best practices in the closing article of the series. At this point we are still working in a virtual or test environment. Thanks! That’s a good point Eric.

(on top of other CSS includes as well) Maybe I missed something though, just skimmed the article.
