Hi Tom,

First off, thank you for creating this wonderful theme. I plan on using it pretty much solely going forward.

I am trying to get a different background color outside of the container. Specifically, I am using a two column layout with Unsemantic CSS framework's grid system. According to their documentation the max-width is 1200px. I want the grid-container to be white and the outter edges once it gets bigger than 1200px to be a light grey.

I've tried several things to accomplish this using my child theme's styles.css file to no avail. Any ideas?

Hi there,

Hmm sounds like the body background image?

Try this:

body {
    background-image: url( ‘image-url’ );
}

If this doesn't work can you link me to the page? Thanks!

Hey Leo,

Thanks for the suggestion. I got around this by using a Flexbox in the grid container and changing the background color of that.
