Theme colour

If you simply want to change some of the colors that CSS should be simple. You just need to find an element that you want to change the color of, figure what rule is setting the color, and then just change the value.

You could also just do a find and replace. So if all of your links are red and you want them to be blue you could open style.css and find/replace a value with the new one.

Here is an article on finding the right element in your HTML, Firebug makes this a lot easier.

Remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing an updated page/site. Or try emptying your browser cache. This should ensure that your web browser fetches a fresh copy of the page rather than serving up an out-dated copy from your own cache.

Hard to say what could be causing the color to stick, might be more than one rule on that element. Could you post a link to the site you are working on, and what you are trying to change?

No problem Mike, what specific element are you have trouble changing the color of?

It looks like you don’t just have a single stylesheet, there is some CSS hardcoded into your theme files too?

Is there something that looks like this in your header.php file?

<style type="text/css" media="all">
body { background:#636566 url("http://www.myanimeisland.com/wp-content/themes/eximiusBlack/images/background.gif") repeat-x; }
#header { background: url("http://www.myanimeisland.com/wp-content/themes/eximiusBlack/images/newmai.jpg") no-repeat ; }
#header { height: 250px; }
</style>

Any CSS in your template files would override the CSS in your stylesheet, so I think that is the problem.

If you can find that code above in your header file, you could edit it there to make the change actually show up. However, there is a background image and color, so the image will cover up the color. You either need to change both or remove the image and just set a color for the background.
