[Resolved] Changing the blue header background colour in Service

[Jan]

Hi Leo (?),
time again…
As you can see the background colour in the Service theme is by default blue,
https://lokalpartner.info/folk/
You taught me how to change the header background image (thank you!).
And now I thought it was as easy to change the colour by clicking in the header section and then to the right change the background colour, I did. But no success for some reason. And yes, I emptied the cache a couple of times. That didn´t help.
What am I doing wrong?
Best regards
Jan

Hi Jan,

The background header used in the page you see here is added in Service theme by default on its Home page.

To edit this, you must open the home page on the page editor and select the container for the first section.

On the first section container’s block settings, you should be able to see a “Background Gradient” setting.

Expand it and you should be able to see a preset color setting. Change this setting to your preference.

Here’s a quick video demo of how it’s done. https://share.getcloudapp.com/v1uxnPLJ

Done, thank you, Elvin!
Now, how do I change the header colour on the other pages, for instance on this page, https://lokalpartner.info/folk/aktuellt/

For that one, you must go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and look for this code

.gradient-overlay:after {
	content: '';
	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	right: 0;
	bottom: 0;
	left: 0;
	background: linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(24,106,178,0.9) 20%, rgba(0,175,229,0.9) 80%);
}

The background: property here is adding the gradient color values that you see. You can change the rgba() color values to the color you prefer.

Thank you,
will do some testing to see what it looks like.
Over and out.

Sorry what am I looking at here?

If the original topic is already resolved, can you open a new topic for the separate question so it’s easier for us to track?

Thanks 🙂
