anything wrong to use "! importand;"

[tglomb]

I need to set an overall background color. I don't want do it for every single page (CSS color setting or inherit)...
Or is there a better method ?
TIA, Thomas

It's kinda the basic idea of using themes, styles etc that you do not go into each and every page to make a global change (Bruce can talk about this for hours  )

If you're using a custom.css (which is recommended) you can simply make your change there and it'll take effect all over the place.

Something like this:

/* This overrides the settings from the theme css file: */
.nt-body {
 background-color: <YourFavoriteColorHere>;
}

No need for using !important as far as I'm aware (since custom.css is read after the other style files and background-color is not marked as important elsewhere). And - depending on your settings - don't forget to run gzipall.bat

Thanks Peter,
meanwhile I could make out (and hopefully better explain) what my real problem is.
