Alan, the issue is that the "Custom Corners" theme uses a structured background and needs a background image.
This background image overwrites your background colour. To get your colour working with "Custom Corners" you need to add the following CSS to your CSS file:
body {
background-image: none;
}
Alan, depending on the way your CSS works and the theme you are using there may be several reasons for the different display in the "Custom Corners" theme.
First you may try to set the background colour in your CSS if not done already.
I may write a list of possible guesses but the best way to see what's happening is when you may give me access to your site. You may send me the access data via email that I can have a look.
venkatesan iyengar, these validators are very helpful to find errors in our CSS. But you need to know how to read their reports.
They complain about browser specific CSS properties like the Firefox -moz... properties. And they warn when you not set color AND background color.
These two errors and warnings are known and you may ignore them.
Infos like 7367 .gradestable th.user, .gradestable th.range Property whitespace doesn't exist : nowrap
URI : http://moodle.org/theme/moodleorange/geshi.css 273 .gml .kw4 Value Error : color brown is not a color value : brown
are really helpful because they identify CSS bugs.
I check my CSS every once in a while to find those possible mistakes.
Scott, there should be no hotspots. Please try to replace your chameleon with a unchanged one from the official distribution of your Moodle version. You won't loose any work when you save your CSS file "user_styles.css".
With a normal working Chameleon it should be easy to change the line colours.
