background tweak colour

**stuartwilson** · 07 April 2009, 11:23 AM

How do I colour the white area so it matches the blue of the sea. Is there a way to do this or do I have to create an image to suit in photoshop. (Horizontal tile tweak used in this example)

Hi Stuart

CTLR+Drag a colour onto the page and use the eye dropper to match colour to the photo

This may explain it better

This changed the page colour but not the background colour. I achieved what I wanted by changing the background image. See link below. Don't if I'm missing something. Thanks for your help.

I see the problem. You can't set both background color and bitmap in WD.
But as usually, a little tweak can help.

Do following:
1. Set you bitmap background fill and repeating tweak.
2. Create placeholder object and give it a name: <head>
3. Enter following code into this placeholder:

Code:

<style type="text/css">body {background-color:#888888;}</style>

4. Replace number highligthed in blue with your color. To get this number for your color of choice, open it in the Color editor (Ctrl+E) and copy the number as shown in the screenshot:
