[Resolved] Change color of screen around post

[kyle]

How can I change the color of the area around post, to for example black?

Hi there,

Try changing the body background color in the customizer.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

[kyle]

No that changes the header color and the far areas. Not the immediate area around the post

Any chance you can link us to the site in question?

You can use the private information field.

Let me know 🙂

Ok link has been attached.

Let me know your thoughts, thanks Leo

What if you remove the layout element for the 750px content width:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/#content-1

Then use this CSS instead:

.single .container.grid-container {
    max-width: 750px;
}

Adding CSS: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

Ok this seems to have worked for now.

Just my normal pages still look a bit weird. Could you advise on what you think i should do to make it look more attractive.

Please check out both pages below

Did they change after you’ve removed the layout element?

If so re-add the element and make sure that it doesn’t include single posts in the display rules.

Sorry Leo, I don’t quite understand?

Sorry is this related to removing that layout element?

I see you’ve opened a new topic so it’s unrelated?
