 * I’m not a total newbie, but when it comes to customizing a theme…I need help.
 * I’m using the Etherna theme and want to know where in the style sheet (if it 
   is in the style sheet) I can edit the theme’s container background. I’ve managed
   to change the overall background, but just can’t figure out where to find the
   code linking to the gray content containers. Any help?

 * Are you using a tool like Firebug to look at the CSS and HTML? It should show
   you easily. Appears to be this:
 *     ```
       .main {
       {
       ```
   
 * Note that modifying theme files is not recommended – as any changes you make 
   will be overwritten when the theme is updated. Instead use a Child Theme or custom
   CSS option or plugin.
 * For additional help, you’ll need to contact the theme developer as commercial
   themes aren’t supported here:
