Re: Dark Background setting not working on my website, see the following links:

1) https://myplaceinchicago.com/Featured-Properties.html

2) https://myplaceinchicago.com/First-Time-Homebuyers.html   and online form colors dark background, white text not working either3) https://myplaceinchicago.com/Commercial.html

Background is fine on the android, but the desktop version ends up with an all white background but I wanted a black background.
Can you fix it?

Thanks

To change the background color on your Homestead SiteBuilder Plus website, access the Design menu from the editor, select Background, and choose a solid color or customize with an image. You can also apply specific background colors to individual sections to make them stand out, or adjust colors in the Page Settings menu.

Steps to Change Website Background Color:
  • Open the Editor: Log in to your Homestead account and click Edit Site.
  • Access Design Tools: Click on the Design option in the left-hand panel.
  • Background Settings: Select Background. Here you can choose a solid color, select a texture, or upload a custom image.
  • Section-Specific Backgrounds: If you only want to change the color of a specific section, click on that section, select the Style option, and change the background color there.
  • Save and Publish: Click Save to apply changes to your site.

Important Tips:
  • Mobile View: If the background doesn't look right on mobile, click the background, select "Style," and enable "Mobile Custom Style" to adjust it specifically for mobile devices.
  • Avoid Overlap: Ensure your chosen background color does not make text or buttons difficult to read.
  • Color Palette: You can edit the overall site color palette under Design > Colors to maintain consistency.
