Need Help Changing main Background color in DW Minion

Hi,
I’ve searched your forums for help changing the background color in DW Minion and have tried all of the suggestions, but have had no success. When I use these codes:
body {background-color:#BDB76B;}
body
{
background-color:#BDB76B;
#page {
background: #BDB76B;
}
All that ends up changing is one sliver of background that appears on the left hand sidebar. How do I change the entire background, in the area where the content, headers, categories and everything else lies?
I’m also wondering how to make my site logo larger.
I would really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance.

Hi Elizabeth,

To change the background color, please go to Dashboard / Appearance / Customize / Custom Code, and add this code below to Header Code section:

 <style>
#page,
.site-main,
.site-info {
background-color: #BDB76B;
}
.site-title.display-logo img {
max-width: 100%;
}
</style>

Since the site logo is placed in sidebar position, and the sidebar is limited to 200px wide, so your logo size should be under 200px wide.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! That worked. Also, how do I change the body text color?

You can use the CSS classes below to apply a custom style for body text color:

/* Body text */
.body {color: ..}
/* Site description text */
.site-description {color: ..}
/* Links */
a {color: ...}
/* Lists content */
.widget_archive li {color: ...}
.widget_nav_menu .sub-menu li {color: ...}
/* Meta content */
.entry-meta {color: ...}
.entry-meta .posted-on a, .entry-meta .comments-link a {color: ...}
.widget_recent_entries .post-date {color: ...}
/* Site info text */
.site-info {color: ...}

Also you can change the color schemes of the theme in Dashboard / Appearance / Customize / Style Selector.

Hope that helps!
