# Customize Theme "Tides" with custom.css

 * Hello Forum,
 * I recently acquired a theme called Tides and can’t figure out how to change the
   background colors of certain parts of the page.
    I have been told that I can 
   do this by copying code from the style.css to a custom.css and editing it there
   and it will override settings in the style.css…
 * I inspected the elements i want to change in chrome: =
 * <div class=”section-marker” id=”archiv”></div>
    <div class=”section-marker” id
   =”reel”></div>
 * But I am not sure what code I need to add to the custom.css file in order to 
   change these elements (segment headers?)
 * Can someone please help me find the right code to change the background color
   of these items? Or maybe even set their opacity to 50%?
    The page i’m working
   on is [http://www.dvfx.de](http://www.dvfx.de)
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Cheers, Fxam
