I have been trying without success to change the background colour of the slideshow for the photos section of my website [http://www.lifeofbryan.co.uk/photos/](http://www.lifeofbryan.co.uk/photos/)).

I have read other posts that suggest adding HTML coding to the CSS section but this does not seem to have any effect. At present, when I click on a photo to begin the slideshow, the background colour differs from the main site and (as the background is almost as dark as the text) it obscures the text and navigation elements.

Thanks in advance!

Try putting this in the Custom CSS panel (in the inspector on the right, third one along called HTML)

```
.photo-background {
	background-color: #ECEDE1;
}

```

.photo-background {  
background-color: #ECEDE1;  
}

That was a quick and easy fix
